Mia Farrow as Rosemary Woodhouse and a baby carriage on a cropped poster for Rosemary's Baby
We feel very lucky to be alive during the time of Longlegs, I Saw the TV Glow, and the Scream and X franchises, but there’s something almost mythical about horror movies from the ‘60s and ‘70s. They just hit differently. Right now, one of the best is climbing the charts on Paramount+ as, according to FlixPatrol, Roman Polanski’s 96% critically approved Rotten Tomatoes flick, Rosemary’s Baby, is second place on the streamer’s Top 10.
Starring Mia Farrow in the titular role, Rosemary’s Baby follows a young couple, Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse , who have just moved into the Bramford, a lavish apartment building in Manhattan. Upon arrival, they meet an older couple, Minnie and Roman Castevet , who take them under their wing, especially when they learn that Rosemary is pregnant. After being down on his luck as an actor, Guy begins to be cast in bigger and better parts, leaving Rosemary alone more often than not.
Judging by the pushback that William Friedkin’s The Exorcist faced just a few years later in 1973, it would be easy to imagine that Rosemary’s Baby hit the same road bumps considering its ties to Satanism. However, that couldn’t be farther from the truth as the movie was not only a financial success, earning more than $33 million at the box office, but was also a favorite on the awards circuit.
How Does ‘Apartment 7A’ Fit Into the Picture? Close So you’ve headed over to Paramount+ and want to watch the prequel before the original. But, how does it all fit together? Apartment 7A is set just a few years before the events of Rosemary’s Baby and follows Terry Gionoffrio , an aspiring dancer who takes out a room in the Bramford. Her new neighbors are, of course, Minnie and Roman Castevet , who have much more sinister intentions than what they present to the young woman.
