Since it unfolds in the same setting as its predecessor, it also marks the return of many of Rosemary’s babyS letters.

Apartment 7a Offers new insights into the fate of several characters from the original film. For example, it not only discloses all the events that led to Terry’s death in Rosemary’s baby But also reveals what happened to Lily Gardenia. While it’s hard not to appreciate how it adds more emotional depth to the original movie’s story, the narrative inconsistencies with the 1968 film are disappointing.

The ending of the prequel seems inconsistent with the story of Rosemary’s Baby

Apartment 7a Features a mid-credits scene in which Guy and Rosemary talk to police officers. The scene is based on a moment of Rosemary’s babyWhere Rosemary tells police officers everything she knows about Terry. Her knowledge of Terry’s past and relationships is based on their interactions in the laundry room.

But, since Apartment 7a Completely ignores Terry and Rosemary’s laundry room meetings by not explaining why Terry would praise the castevets, it seems strange that it features the Guy and Rosemary cameo in its closing moments.

Unfortunately, despite featuring some incredible performances, Apartment 7a is weighed down by many similar plot holes that Recon Rosemary’s babys history.
