Paramount+ released the official trailer and photos for the all-new psychological thriller Apartment 7A and gave us chills! In the best sense of the word. Grab the popcorn and let’s analyze this terrifying trailer and first look. Ready?
Here we go!
Set in 1965 New York City, Apartment 7A tells the story prior to the legendary horror classic Rosemary’s Baby, exploring what happened in the infamous Bramford building before Rosemary moved in.
In the movie, an ambitious young dancer Terry Gionoffrio (Julia Garner) dreams of fame and fortune in New York City, but, after suffering a devastating injury, an older, wealthy couple (Dianne Wiest and Kevin McNally) welcomes her into their home in the luxury apartment building the Bramford.
When fellow resident and influential Broadway producer (Jim Sturgess) offers her another chance at fame, it seems that all her dreams are finally coming true.
However, after an evening she can’t fully remember, disturbing circumstances soon have her second-guessing the sacrifices she’s willing to make for her career as she realizes that something evil is living not only in Apartment 7A but in the Bramford itself.
The trailer starts eerily, showing Terry moving into a mysterious apartment in a seemingly normal building. However, from the first moment, the atmosphere of the place feels oppressive, with a mix of disturbing silences and strange sounds that seem to come from the neighbors – neighbors who seem too nosy.
As the trailer progresses, it’s revealed that the apartment holds dark secrets, and Terry is caught in a web of paranoia and psychological terror. The tension builds, showing flashes of disturbing visions – in Black Swan style – doors that close on their own, and the constant feeling that there is something evil lurking in the shadows and it has chosen Terry as its next victim.
Also noteworthy is the use of sound and music in the trailer, which is particularly effective, increasing anxiety and making us feel as trapped and drawn to whatever is in that apartment as Terry is.
