House 7A’s First Trailer Digs Right into a Satanic Horror Backstory

Paramount has launched its first trailer for Apartment 7A, its upcoming prequel to 1968’s Rosemary’s Baby. Have at it:

As detailed within the trailer, the story is ready in 1965 New York and considerations an aspiring dancer named Terry Gionoffrio (Julia Garner) who suffers an ankle damage. After transferring into the unique movie’s cursed Bramford condo constructing, she meets a well-connected aged couple (Dianne Wiest and Kevin McNally) who promise her a second likelihood at making her dream come true. By coincidence or design, a neighboring tenant (Jim Sturgess) simply so occurs to be an influential Broadway producer. Unsurprisingly in the event you’ve seen the unique, Terry has hassle remembering a night spent along with her new associates and should now be the unwilling mom of the Antichrist.

Whereas it could appear an odd license to construct a franchise from, House 7A is both the third, fourth or fifth installment of the Rosemary’s Child saga relying on the way you have a look at it. Following the unique movie, a made-for-TV sequel titled Look What’s Happened to Rosemary’s Baby aired on ABC in 1976.

In case you take pleasure in camp and horror franchises for their very own sake, although, you’ll possible discover one thing to take pleasure in right here.
