In 1968, Rosemary's Baby was released and became one of the most influential horror movies of all time. 56 years later, Apartment 7A tells the story of what happened just as Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes moved into New York's creepy Bramford building and were entwined in the plans of the resident devil worshippers. Set once again in 1965, it tells the sad tale of Terry Gionoffrio and her own involvement with the same cult, up until we meet her in Rosemary's Baby.
So many changes are made that you get the feeling that it's more of a reimagining of the original that keeps insisting it's not. She's not Ruth Gordon, which would be impossible, but her take on Minnie is a little more sour, and a little less outrageous. Still, if this weren't a Rosemary's Baby prequel, and there was nothing to directly compare it to her performance would stand well.
