Apartment 7a overturns the concept of motherhood in Rosemary's Baby, Rose was married, she wanted to be a mother and therefore have a child instead Terry, the protagonist of the prequel, is a single girl who as soon as she finds out she is pregnant she thinks about abortion, therefore the film shows the journey of a girl struggling with an unwanted pregnancy.

The expressionist touch in the esoteric sequence is nice, then it is clear that if you want you want to make a comparison between the sequence of getting Rose pregnant in Rosemary's baby and that of Apartment 7A, there is no comparison, but at least that expressionist touch gives a bit of personalisation. Instead, some reverse games are more welcome, in Rosemary's Baby, Minnie didn't make Rose wash the dishes, while Read all
