Sometimes Movies get so much love, that trying to bring out anything more from the story seems impossible!
But the world of Rosemary's Baby, with a classic film in the horror genre. It took a very specific approach and really set a special moment that is one of those Movies that's hard to create something that might live up to it.
A New Rosemary's Baby Movie:
You see, a new prequel movie came out in 2024 and it tried to take on this story and create a prequel called "Apartment 7A.", bringing new layers, twists and an intriguing storyline!
But something happened just six years ago. Fans are discovering how a similar movie, came out in 2018, which received a big 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, a very high score!
The Best Successor: Hereditary
If you're wondering what's the better film and it comes down to this A24 horror masterpiece. It took the world by storm! Hereditary, which received amazing praise for those that watch a variety of different films.
What makes "Hereditary" a perfect match? It's an emotional, creepy film. Even though "Rosemary's Baby" is a timeless story. The two horror films bring audiences back to those creepy, disturbing moments!
There are elements in the films that fans of "Rosemary's Baby" would definitely connect with: creepy storylines about cults!
- Both stories had groups that wanted to make contact with a demonic force!
The plots from both movies have this kind of supernatural effect that showcases the power of these demonic beings! If there's something scarier in these films, it might be how each character reacts. What we see is the tension and unease, how people react to those outside of their everyday world! This movie gets fans involved as a form of emotional manipulation, and that brings fear and terror. You can't ignore how terrifying this becomes in both of these films.
"Rosemary's Baby" came out in the 1960s at the height of an urban explosion! People moving into areas in which they weren't super comfortable. The horror movie takes these societal fears that could impact any place in the world.
"Hereditary," shows audiences how a family feels that there are forces around them that are trying to change their course! It can't ignore a feeling that a mysterious cult is playing mind games with people.
Both these movies also have elements that take on these characters, in this kind of intense exploration, where the central figures feel trapped and lost, as their power diminishes, it's truly a terrifying moment! This reflects some common fears.
A Perfect Match For Horror Fans:

You get this haunting supernatural feeling that creates those incredible chills and may leave you up at night, as it takes you through a truly unique plot and the characters you will really get caught up in!
These movies really bring these incredible performances that you can't miss and will become your go-to. One, of course, is Mia Farrow in "Rosemary's Baby", she's amazing in the role as a mother who really doesn't know what's coming next! You won't find many characters that deliver as well as "Toni Collette.", she's an amazing actress and it really was something for everyone to experience!
Both were amazing, however. "Apartment 7A," may not be up there with those horror films as it seems this prequel never really found its voice and really tries hard to deliver something incredible, and bring that disturbing twist to audiences but it couldn't shake the shadow of its big predecessor. It's too bad, but the attempt was admirable.
The new prequel wasn't the best follow-up, but there is a super cool classic that should get everyone watching!
