Siddhant Adlakha of Variety finds the movie overall entertaining, though sometimes torn between its pre-ordained tragedy and the flourishes it wants to bring to the universe. Either way, the flick has a card up its sleeve, the critic writes:

While it has its moments, Rosemary's Baby prequel Apartment 7A is never quite up to its aspirations and unforgivable misses its marks.

The Natalie Erika James-directed feature, which counts John Krasinski among its producers, follows a struggling dancer whose relationship with an older couple takes a twisted turn.

T he upcoming Rosemary’s Baby prequel Apartment 7A debuts with a disappointing score on Rotten Tomatoes. Directed by Natalie Erika James, the movie follows dancer Terry Giono

James can shoot with effusive competence (see "Relic"). This film sleepwalks as a routine horror prequel clinging to classic nostalgia, unlike how "The First Omen" nailed the formula mere months ago.
