Kick-starting the Halloween season with a hair-raising thriller, Paramount Players’ “Apartment 7A”, directed by Natalie Erika James, receives an R rating from the Motion Picture Association. This is big news for horror fans across the globe, as it confirms that things are about to get quite chilling and exciting!

The Mystery Behind “Apartment 7A”

You might know Natalie Erika James from her directorial work on “Relic”. This time, with the help of collaborators from A Quiet Place, Platinum Dunes, and John Krasinski, she’s steering the wheel for “Apartment 7A”. Capturing everyone’s interest, rumors have been swirling around that “Apartment 7A” is secretly a prequel to the 1968 horror classic “Rosemary’s Baby”. Well, the rumors were right on target!

Release Details and Ratings

The prequel is set to make its grand entrance on Paramount+ in the U.S. and selected international markets. While the exact release date is yet to be confirmed, it’s set to debut sometime at the start of the Halloween season. This probably means that your dose of Halloween scares will come with a nostalgic touch of the classic horror tale!

Now, talking about the ratings, “Apartment 7A” is in the R-rated club due to some violent content and drug use. Just for comparison, M. Night Shyamalan’s thriller “Trap” also came with “some violent content” and obtained a PG-13 rating due to its mild language. With “Apartment 7A”, though, the drug use element pushes it into the R-rated territory.

Script and Cast Details

Too intrigued to hear more? Then, let’s take you behind the scenes. The screenplay started with Skylar James. Known for writing for Netflix series “The Green Beret’s Guide to the Apocalypse”, Skylar was later joined by Natalie Erika James and Christian White for a script overhaul.

Now on to the stars. The name that’s stealing all the limelight is Julia Garner from the series “Ozark”. Upholding the suspense, Garner plays a young dancer who gets tangled in the sinister forces after meeting an intriguing, old couple. The story is set in 1965, New York City, and traces the events that took place before Rosemary’s entry.

Joining Garner in the cast are renowned actors like Dianne Wiest, Jim Sturgess, Kevin McNally, Marli Siu, Andrew Buchan, Rosy McEwen, and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.

Production Notes

Finishing off on a high note, Paramount+’s Jeff Grossman committed that “Apartment 7A” would be a thrilling way to welcome the Halloween season.

Lastly, the film’s production credits include John Krasinski and Allyson Seeger from Sunday Night Productions, along with Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller from Platinum Dunes.
