If the film had a more coherent point or was more willing to stand apart from its predecessor, it could have been something truly special. But, like its doomed protagonist, it just keeps stumbling under the spotlight.

Apartment 7A is largely successful, both as a prequel and as a stand-alone film. It carries the unfortunate weight of simply being a prequel to a classic film, but it largely does so with grace [...]

With a strong cast, beautiful costuming, and a few stand-out sequences, Apartment 7A is a solid prequel to Rosemary’s Baby — but that’s all it is.

Pregnancy horror is experiencing a boom with The First Omen, Immaculate, and Huesera: The Bone Woman all tackling the notion of forced pregnancy in the wake of Roe vs Wade. As such, the film doesn't pack anywhere near the punch it could.

The world of Apartment 7A is built on dread—the dread of an approaching evil that feels inescapable. The dread of a slow realization that something dark has entered your life.

In revisiting the eerie halls of the Bramford, Apartment 7A does more than expand a beloved story—it offers a reflection on the complexities of the female experience.

Apartment 7A proves that it’s sometimes best to leave classics to stand the test of time on their own instead of capitalizing on their success. No one asked for a prequel, and the few that did will likely not be pleased with what they have on their hands.

Despite strong performances, the film lacks novelty and largely follows the same trajectory as its predecessor.

…with a number of characters and situations recurring from Rosemary’s Baby, Apartment 7A traces evil back to the post WWII generation and still feels relevant to today’s apocalyptic fashions….Julia Garner does a great job in evoking Farrow’s iconic role.

Even though the performances of Garner and West do prove to be a strength for the film, with the lack of atmospheric trepidation, everything just falls a bit flat.

Apartment 7A wears its feminist agenda on its sleeve and serves as the perfect compliment to the ‘68 film.

That question of choice is a persistent one–and the real value of sequels, prequels, and remakes is how they can contextualize the source in its time and, in the process, contextualize ours as well.

As prequels, especially in the horror genre, go, Apartment 7A is one of the better efforts, but it doesn’t birth a demonic delight comparable to its parental predecessor.

Flashes of inspiration hint at a much better movie, but what we're left with is a dull rehash of Rosemary's Baby's story beats without anything resembling a fresh perspective.

In much the same way that Rosemary's Baby lived and died on Mia Farrow's legendary performance as Rosemary; Apartment 7A lives and dies on Julia Garner's spectacular performance as Terry.

This psychological horror thriller takes an interesting approach to the 1968 film...It works best as a compelling appendix that fills in holes rather than expand the lore. And it does more to pay homage to Polanski’s classic than plow new ground.

It's undeniably a well-shot and acted film, but the film feels too beholden to Rosemary's Baby and fails to offer much new. There's clear evidence of studio tampering in the back half, especially the Exposition Nun bit. Natalie Erika James deserves better
