The newly released trailer for Apartment 7A casts a spell of intrigue as we step back into 1965 New York City. This film serves as a haunting prologue to the classic Rosemary's Baby, unveiling the eerie events that transpired before Rosemary Woodhouse (played by Mia Farrow in the original) ever set foot in the infamous Bramford apartment building. Featuring Julia Garner in the lead role, Apartment 7A tantalizes horror fans with promises of dark forces and sinister secrets, showcasing the struggles of aspiring dancer Terry Gionoffrio.

In the trailer, we meet Terry, portrayed with depth by Garner, known for her striking performances in Ozark and Inventing Anna. After suffering a devastating injury, Terry finds herself taken under the wing of an affluent couple—played by Dianne Wiest and Kevin McNally—who seem to extend a lifeline but might have ulterior motives. When a powerful Broadway producer (Jim Sturgess) offers her a shot at stardom, her dreams appear within reach. Yet, ominous hints of malevolence lurking in her new home soon force her to question the lengths she's willing to go for success.
Directed by Natalie Erika James, whose previous work on Relic received critical acclaim, this film is based on Ira Levin's chilling novel. The screenplay, co-written by James alongside Christian White and Skylar James, aims to recapture the atmospheric dread of the original while presenting a fresh tale of ambition and horror.

While the cinematic magic of Rosemary's Baby is hard to replicate, this prequel offers a chance for audiences to explore the dark depths of the Bramford—where dreams may come at a disturbingly high price.
Prepare for a journey into the unknown, and remember: if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
