10 Recent Horror Movies That Were Sent Out To Die

10. Apartment 7A

Okay, nobody was asking for a prequel to Rosemary's Baby. However, there wasn't much interest in an Omen prequel either, and The First Omen was a triumph. Taking that into account, Apartment 7A deserved to be judged on its own merits.

Our story opens with a down-on-her-luck dancer called Terry (Julia Garner) who befriends an elderly couple after moving into an apartment. Terry believes the couple can use their industry connections to help with her career at first, but later realises their true intentions are far more sinister.

Were it not for Julia Garner owning the role, Apartment 7A would be a waste of time. Though it emulates the atmosphere of its predecessor, the film focuses more on tying itself to the original rather than telling its own story. Apartment 7A follows Rosemary's Baby almost beat-for-beat, so it feels like a retread rather than a prequel. 

Considering Rosemary's Baby made drastic changes to the novel it's based on, Apartment 7A had the opportunity to tell a story closer to the source material. Instead, it imitates the same themes as before, but with less nuance.

Apartment 7A was released on Paramount+ last year with so little fanfare, there was next-to-no indication it was connected to Rosemary's Baby, not to mention a horror movie.
