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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 14, 2025

…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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 3, 2025

…A worthy little sister from 'The First Prophecy', which poses an elegance in direction that should not be dismissed right away. [Full review in Spanish]

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 30, 2024

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

| Original Score: B | Oct 23, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 21, 2024

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.

| Oct 14, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 14, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Oct 10, 2024

Apartment 7A is a perfect example of why streaming sometimes feels so disposable. However, there should be minimal blame apportioned to Natalie Erika James, who made a truly inventive horror film with Relic, but any fans of cinema will find this lacking.

When we talk about the difference between "cinema" and "content" we are referring to works like 'Apartment 7A', simple additions to a massive catalog that serve to be the novelty of the week and be forgotten forever... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 8, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 8, 2024

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

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 8, 2024

Beyond a doubt, Julia Garner is the movie's biggest asset; her performance elevates this cliché-ridden production. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 7, 2024

I've already watched 4 movies just like Apartment 7A this year. This is easily the worst.

| Oct 7, 2024

The legacy of Rosemary's Baby has been irreparably damaged by the self-confessed crimes of its own director, and yes, it is immoral to watch that film with this knowledge, but should that give filmmakers and studios the freedom to further tamper with it?

| Oct 6, 2024

What the story lacks in surprises is counterbalanced by Garner's captivating performance: by turns vulnerable, terrified and gritty.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 4, 2024

Even without the knowledge that it’s a prequel to Rosemary’s Baby the only thing that distinguishes itself from that masterwork are two solid performances by Julia Garner and Dianne Wiest that would have been just as memorable in a straight remake.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 3, 2024

Julia Garner is incredible in this horror prequel, but unfortunately Apartment 7A doesn't have a lot for Garner to work with.

| Oct 3, 2024

Co-writer/director Natalie Erika James ("Relic") delivers a fierce pro-abortion horror prequel to "Rosemary's Baby" that twists a cinematic knife into the MAGA conspirators that overturned Roe v. Wade.

| Original Score: FIVE STARS | Oct 3, 2024
