Directed by Natalie Erika James, known for her eerie work on Relic, the film centers on a young woman who moves into a seemingly normal apartment building, only to find herself slowly unraveling as strange and disturbing events begin to unfold around her.

Apartment 7A (2024) is a psychological thriller, prequel to Rosemary’s Baby (1968) that plays with the boundaries of suspense, paranoia, and mystery, offering a fresh take on the genre. The film’s atmosphere is its strongest element, filled with claustrophobic tension and shadowy cinematography that keeps viewers on edge. The confined apartment setting becomes a character itself, with every creak and dim hallway adding to the growing dread. The slow-burn pacing and clever twists will keep thriller fans engaged.Julia Garner shines as the lead, delivering a gripping portrayal of her character’s descent into paranoia. While the supporting cast is solid, Garner’s performance truly carries the film.However, Apartment 7A stumbles in pacing, especially during the middle act, where the suspense falters. Some plot points feel underdeveloped, and the ambiguous ending might divide audiences.Despite these flaws, Apartment 7A is a well-crafted thriller driven by atmosphere and strong performances.

Yes! Fans of slow-burn psychological thrillers will find it worth watching. Especially if you want to see what happened before Rosemary’s Baby, which they cleverly tied together at the very end of the film. It was a beautiful moment that reminded us of a time when films were made with heart, soul, passion, and expertise. Roman Polanski truly created a masterpiece, and we had the honour of watching its prequel.
