Streaming on Paramount+, starting on September 27th, we have a look at the brand-new teaser poster for Apartment 7A. If you're headed to Fantastic Fest, you can get an early look at the Rosemary's Baby prequel when it premieres at the festival on September 20th.
"An ambitious young dancer Terry Gionoffrio dreams of fame and fortune in New York City, but after suffering a devastating injury, an older, wealthy couple welcomes her into their home in the luxury apartment building the Bramford. When fellow resident and influential Broadway producer 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.

Two years have gone by since a psychological thriller called Apartment 7A – which Relic (watch it Here) director Natalie Erika James helmed for Paramount Players and A Quiet Place collaborators Platinum Dunes and John Krasinski – wrapped filming. Soon after filming came to an end, rumors began to circulate that Apartment 7A was secretly a prequel to the 1968 classic Rosemary’s Baby… and sure enough, that’s exactly what the movie is. It’s set to receive a Paramount+ release in the U.S. and in select international markets on September 27th, kicking off the Halloween season. With that release date swiftly approaching, our friends at Bloody Disgusting have gotten their hands on a poster for Apartment 7A, and you can check that out at the bottom of this article.

The news of the moment keeps veering between cutbacks and comebacks. Keep your shrink on hold.
Paramount is laying off thousands and closing its TV studio, but Skydance’s David Ellison, its new owner, promises that an important new slate is on its way. Disney is shedding employees as park attendance sags, but also is investing billions in new theme park attractions and even a solid entertainment slate (Bob Iger calls it a “turbocharge”).
Even battle-scarred United Artists with Scott Stuber as its new savior promises yet another comeback after alternate decades of brilliance and disaster.
Given all this, the ongoing drama surrounding Warner Bros Discovery’s David Zaslav seems downright comforting.
I take more than an academic interest in all this since I’ve personally been enmeshed in both ups and downs (the “ups” at ’70s Paramount were more memorable).
And it was Tom Cruise who, having just become chief of UA,...

Every great screen performance expands the medium in its own way, giving audiences something to respond to, while offering fresh ideas to future actors. A select few can be said to have redefined the craft entirely: Orson Welles in “Citizen Kane,” Marlon Brando in “On the Waterfront,” Toshiro Mifune in “Rashomon” and Gena Rowlands in “A Woman Under the Influence.”
Rowlands died Wednesday at age 94, half a century after “A Woman Under the Influence” premiered at the New York Film Festival in 1974. Rowlands was the last to go from among a tight clique of titans — actors who transformed modern cinema: Peter Falk, Seymour Cassel, Ben Gazzara and, of course, Rowlands’ late husband, actor-director John Cassavetes.
Younger audiences who know Rowlands only as the memory-challenged older woman in “The Notebook” (directed by her son Nick Cassavetes) or for her Emmy-winning turn in “Hysterical Blindness” owe it to themselves to investigate her most important work,...

When it comes to separating art from the artist, you might find yourself between a rock and a hard place—or perhaps between a director’s chair and a moral conundrum. Zoë Kravitz is no stranger to the fact that admiring Roman Polanski’s films is a bit controversial, to say the least.
In a recent Esquire profile, the Blink Twice writer/director tackled the elephant in the room: Can we keep loving the art that controversial figures create while still condemning their actions? Well, in Kravitz’s world, it’s all about the art, even if it means accepting that sometimes “somebody bad was involved in something good”.

Especially poignant was her defense of Roman Polanski’s work. After all, he directed cinematic treasures like Rosemary’s Baby and The Tenant, films Kravitz adores despite their creator’s not-so-favorable reputation.

Being “delicate” with Ryan Murphy has certainly paid off for Kim Kardashian. The actress and reality-tv star is deepening her relationship with studio 20th Television under a new first-look deal — her first for scripted programming.
Kim K. already has “The Kardashians” on Hulu heading into its fifth season, and entered (real) acting with Murphy’s “American Horror Story: Delicate,” a 20th TV production. She’s set to star in Murphy’s upcoming legal drama “All’s Fair,” also at 20th.
Now, the studio can give her a parking space. Kardashian will develop projects that span drama, comedy, and limited series under the multi-year deal.
Her first project under the deal is a collaboration with “black-ish” creator Kenya Barris called “Group Chat.” It is currently in development for Hulu and is based on the Nyt bestselling book “The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex, and Happiness” from author La La Anthony.

Zoë Kravitz is speaking out on the ongoing debate over whether someone can be a fan of a controversial artist’s work but not condone their actions.
Amid cancel culture and the #MeToo movement with allegations against actors and auteurs alike coming to light, “Blink Twice” writer/director Kravitz told Esquire that she does not shy away from still appreciating would-be canceled directors’ films. Kravitz specifically cited her admiration for Roman Polanski’s filmmaking. He directed two of her favorite films, “Rosemary’s Baby” and “The Tenant.”
Polanski left the U.S. in 1978 after pleading guilty to the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl who has since defended the director. Polanski has denied the sexual misconduct claims from five other women. Polanski is still making films, with his feature “The Palace” debuting at Venice 2023.
“It’s Ok that somebody bad was involved in something good,” Kravitz told Esquire about separating the art from the artist.

The year that brought us the classic Alien also gave us dozens of other horror movies – some great, others less so. We head back to 1979:
“The horror… the horror,” a shadowy Marlon Brando intoned in Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now, finally released in 1979 after an infamously protracted shoot. Brando’s Colonel Kurtz was referring to the haunting fallout from the Vietnam war in those final, whispered words, but he could just as well have been reading off a newspaper listing of the numerous genre movies released that year.
Among 1979’s biggest hits was, of course, Alien, Ridley Scott’s prowling space horror that elevated its monster-on-a-ship premise into something unforgettably visceral and disturbing. So disturbing that it launched a franchise that is still going 45 years later; as these words are being typed, Fede Alvarez’s sidequel Alien: Romulus is about to hatch in cinemas.

Distributor Neon has one of its biggest hits in theaters right now with Osgood Perkins‘s “Longlegs,” a serial killer thriller that has been compared (mostly positively) to Jonathan Demme‘s “The Silence of the Lambs” and David Fincher‘s “Se7en.” It’s Neon’s highest-grossing movie ever, surpassing the $53.4 million domestic gross for Bong Joon Ho‘s Best Picture Oscar-winning “Parasite.” It was at $71.3 million after this past Sunday.
SEEBox office: ‘Longlegs’ stretches ahead of expectations, as ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ crash-lands
In fact, the movie has become such a hit that one might wonder whether it has entered the public consciousness enough to be remembered at awards time, with Cage’s performance as the title character, a demented serial killer driven by Satan, being mentioned favorably in the predominantly positive reviews.
A few examples of critics singling out Cage include:

Alfonso Cuaron wants to make a horror movie inspired by films like 'Rosemary’s Baby' and 'The Babadook'.The 62-year-old Mexican director includes sci-fi films 'Gravity' and 'Children of Men' as well as dramas 'Roma' and 'A Little Princess', but he is yet to turn his cameras to the horror genre.Cuaron - who also helmed 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' - insists it is his next ambition to create film that will fascinate and terrify audiences like those two horror classics.Speaking at the Locarno Film Festival, in Switzerland, he said: "My aspiration is to one day do a horror film."I love 'Rosemary’s Baby', and the other Polanski films, and films like 'The Babadook'.

A few days from now, Alfonso Cuarón is all set to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Locarno Film Festival for his stellar contribution to the industry, with a career spanning over 3 decades. Life really has come full circle for the Mexican filmmaker.
There was a time when everything wasn’t hunky dory for him. Things were going as wrong for him as they could at once. And then Gravity happened. But Cuarón reveals that at one moment, the Sandra Bullock-starrer almost didn’t happen.

Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuarón revealed his interest in making a horror film during a masterclass at the Locarno Film Festival.
The Mexican filmmaker, recipient of a lifetime achievement award at Locarno, is known for diverse works ranging from “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” to “Roma.”
“I love horror movies,” Cuarón said, distinguishing his tastes from those of his friend and collaborator Guillermo del Toro. While del Toro leans towards fantasy and metaphysical horror, Cuarón prefers more grounded fare. He’s “flirting” with the genre, he explained, citing Roman Polanski’s “Rosemary’s Baby” and “The Tenant” as influences.
The director’s potential shift to horror comes after a career marked by both commercial successes and artistic triumphs. Cuarón discussed his collaboration with J.K. Rowling on “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.” The director initially hesitated to take on the project but was won over after reading the book.

Alfonso Cuarón was reflective but playful this afternoon as he headlined the latest session in the Locarno Film Festival’s popular masterclass series.
The discussion was mostly geared to discuss Cuarón’s origins and most successful projects, all of which he has discussed at length many times before. The four-time Oscar winner did, however, give some insight into projects he has yet to get off the ground.
“My aspiration is to one day do a horror film,” he told the packed crowd at the stylish outdoor Spazio Cinema in Locarno.
“I love Rosemary’s Baby, and the other Polanski films, and films like The Babadook.

Though his personal tragedies and demons have sometimes overshadowed his work, there’s no denying the impact Oscar-winning director Roman Polanski has had on cinema.
Born in 1933 in Paris and raised in Poland, Polanski’s childhood was marked by tragedy when he was separated from his parents during the Holocaust. As a child, he escaped the Krakow ghetto after his mother was killed in an Auschwitz gas chamber. When the war ended, he was reunited with his father and returned home.
He turned to filmmaking as a student, making his directorial debut with the international hit “Knife in the Water” (1962), which earned an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. His followup, the psychological thriller “Repulsion” (1965), was an even bigger hit, and he was soon drafted by Hollywood to direct the occult horror film “Rosemary’s Baby” (1968), which earned him a Best Adapted Screenplay bid.
It was during this time that he married Sharon Tate,...

While a sequel to 2019’s “Joker” wasn’t a foregone conclusion until the film passed $1 billion at the box office, director Todd Phillips and star Joaquin Phoenix were making plans for a follow-up before they even wrapped production. “Joker: Folie à Deux” is set to premiere at Venice Film Festival and release this upcoming October. It features the return of Phillips and Phoenix, as well as the inclusion of Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, plus a new angle that expands Joker’s repertoire: It’s a musical. In a recent interview with Empire, Phillips and Phoenix explain why they chose to make such a distinct genre choice with this latest installment and other options that were also on the table.
“Joaquin and I talked about another one the whole time while we were making the first movie, just because we love the character,” Phillips said. “We were obsessed with Arthur.

A handful of new Joker: Folie À Deux stills from the latest Empire Magazine have found their way online and they show the Clown Prince of Crime (Arthur Fleck) and Harley Quinn (Lee) in what looks like a pivotal courtroom scene.
We'd imagine Arthur Fleck is answering for gunning down Murray Franklin and inciting the riots which resulted in the deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne.
There's also a shot of Arthur and Lee during what may be an attempted breakout from Arkham Asylum along with Joker dancing his way through the institution as Brendan Gleeson's unnamed guard watches on.
"Joaquin and I talked about another one the whole time while we were making the first movie, just because we love the character," director Todd Phillips recently said. "We were obsessed with Arthur. We would almost joke about it: 'Oh, we should take Arthur and we should do this.

There are a lot of Stephen King movies, and that's a trend that shows no sign of slowing down — a new adaptation of "Salem's Lot" is due out on Max sometime this year, while "Longlegs" director Osgood Perkins has a take on King's short story "The Monkey" hitting theaters next year. We all know about the quantity — but what about the quality? I'm a Stephen King nerd, and in all honesty, I enjoy the vast majority of his movies — but I'll also admit some of them are duds (I'm looking at you, "Cell"). Horror is a beloved genre by many, but for a long time, some movie critics felt it was a gutter; a seedy place where no light could break through. As a result, there are some King movies with, let's say, less-than-stellar reviews.

Plot: When Riley (Sarah Durn), a YouTube paranormal investigator, disappears, her older sister, Mia (Camille Sullivan), frantically searches for her.
Review: Of all the films premiering at this year’s edition of the Fantasia Film Festival, very few have piqued the interest of genre fans everywhere, like Shelby Oaks. The feature directorial debut of YouTube film critic Chris Stuckmann (who also wrote and co-produced the film), it was recently snapped up for theatrical release by Neon, who are riding high as a genre distributor following the success of Longlegs. Many of his fans are curious whether Stuckmann’s on-camera criticism translates into solid directorial chops.
So what’s the result? Sad to say, the hope that Shelby Oaks would be the next great horror debut was overblown. This is meant as no sleight against Stuckmann who, I must admit, I know next to nothing about. I’ve only seen a handful of his reviews,...

The feature film debut of writer/director Chris Stuckmann has a solid, albeit slightly familiar, premise. In 2008, four YouTubers known for a ghost hunting show called ‘Paranormal Paranoids’ go missing near the deserted town of Shelby Oaks, sparking conspiracy theories and suspicions it’s a hoax to increase the channel’s notoriety.
When the bodies of Laura (Caisey Cole), Peter (Anthony Baldasare), and David (Eric Francis Malaragni) are discovered, however, the focus shifts to the fourth member: host Riley (Sarah Durn), whose disappearance prompts nationwide speculation around the question: “Who took Riley Brennan?”
That’s the question that Riley’s older sister Mia (Camille Sullivan) can’t stop thinking about. Twelve long years after the disappearance of her supernaturally gifted sibling, Mia is being interviewed by a documentary team led by Janet (Emily Bennett). It’s something of a hail mary by Mia’s husband Robert (Brendan Sexton III), who...

Does anyone remember the Satanic panic? It was a bizarre mix of urban legend, conspiracy theory, media frenzy, and religious fanaticism that occurred primarily in the early 1980s. The phenomenon was marked by thousands of alleged incidents of ritualized abuse, often involving children, and desecrations reportedly perpetrated across the nation by scores of so-called Satanic cults in towns and cities everywhere. While many of the reports were later found to be baseless—and the initial investigative techniques used to supposedly substantiate them discredited—the aftermath of the panic remains with us today in the shape of things such as QAnon and PizzaGate.
The roots of the Satanic panic were found in the late 1960s and ‘70s, thanks to books like The Satan Seller, social changes like the rise of the counterculture in the national zeitgeist, infamous events like the Manson Family murders, the introduction of new religions into American society,...

Today, Paramount+ released first-look photos from the new psychological thriller Apartment 7A and announced the new original film will premiere on Friday, September 27, in the U.S., with additional international markets later this year.
Set in 1965 New York City, the film tells the story prior to the legendary horror classic Rosemary’s Baby, exploring what happened in the infamous Bramford building before Rosemary moved in.

Julia Garner might still be portraying the Material Girl Madonna in the future, but for now, she’s telling a different sort of origin story. In Natalie Erika James’ “Rosemary’s Baby” prequel, Garner leads a psychological thriller set in the haunted New York City apartment building that Roman Polanski made iconic in his 1968 horror classic.
Titled “Apartment 7A,” the Paramount+ feature takes place in 1965, prior to Polanski’s legendary horror classic “Rosemary’s Baby,” and explores what happened in the infamous Bramford Building before Rosemary moved in.
The official synopsis reads: “Ambitious young dancer Terry Gionoffrio (Garner) dreams of fame and fortune in New York City, but after suffering a devastating injury, an older, wealthy couple played by Dianne Wiest and Kevin McNally welcomes her into their home in the luxury apartment building the Bramford.

Julia Garner is still set to play the Queen of Pop, with Madonna herself directing the film of her life. More here.
It’s been a year and a half since we learned that Universal’s planned Madonna had been scrapped. The original plan saw Juno writer Diablo Cody pen a script that would be directed by Madonna herself. Although the music legend has directed in her time, this was still a pretty unconventional arrangement.
One aspect of the production that looked very promising was the appointment of Julia Garner in the lead role. Garner was chosen by Madonna herself, reportedly picked out of a song and dance bootcamp and anointed by the Queen of Pop.
Who’s That Girl was of course the title of the 1987 song (and accompanying film) that helped push Madonna’s fame levels into the stratosphere during that era. It looks like it might also be...

Guillermo del Toro is praising Osgood Perkins’ “Longlegs,” which scared up theaters over the weekend with a box office opening of over $22 million.
The horror film starring Maika Monroe as an FBI agent hunting Nicolas Cage — who plays a Satanic serial killer in prosthetics, white face powder, and lipstick — has become a viral hit. “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “Pinocchio” director Del Toro tweeted praise for the film on July 14.
“A great Oz Perkins film, 100 percent his vibe,” del Toro wrote. “It is comforting when a colleague fares well while staying faithful to the rhythms and motifs that have made his career. His metronome, his meticulous composition, and his uncanny sense of evil and impending doom.”
He continued, “It’s not horror as usual, or a thriller as usual. It bares the same preoccupations Oz has had from the start and his Cosmic dread. It is his vibe and signature and I...

Filmmaking duo Joe Williams and Charlie Edwards-Moss’ latest short film O, Glory! is a thrilling folk horror that pays homage to the iconic films of the 70s that founded the horror sub-genre whilst also ushering in the co-directors’ modern sensibility to the formula. The story follows a psychiatric doctor who visits an isolated house when he learns of a potential patient by the name of Deborah, whose brother believes she is beginning to lose her mind. What then unfolds is a story of hysteria, hallucinatory paranoia and twists that keep you on your toes through a palpably tense atmosphere and genuine moments of terror. Dn invited Williams and Edwards-Moss to join us for a chat about their filmmaking trajectory as creative partners, the era of filmmaking they drew influence from, and the artistic decision to capture everything on the scratchy, tactility of the 35mm film.
O, Glory! feels like a meeting of past and present,...

In an era where audiences are peddled an onslaught of remakes, sequels, and requels, few attempts at adapting existing works really manage to stand out. That one of these precious few was immediately trashed by critics who didn’t understand it and mismanaged by a company that was too scared to court controversy, is a shame. That show, though you may not expect it, was none other than Paramount’s own “Heathers”, which aired in 2018.
The series, created by Jason Micallef, had the same basics as Daniel Waters and Michael Lehmann’s film of the same name, fixating on a group of students at Westerberg High School in Sherwood, Ohio, and the deeply messy politics and behavior that comes with that. It retained the main crew of three “mean-girls” Heathers, along with the blasé “good person” Veronica and her faux-tortured murderer love interest Jd.

Horror movie history is littered with the corpses, not just of onscreen victims, but over-contrived would-be iconic monsters that just didn't catch on. For every Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees, there's the Trickster from "Brainscan," or Horace Pinker in "Shocker." Filmmakers can try to engineer a hit horror character, but they don't always catch on.
Art the Clown, from writer/director and makeup maestro Damien Leone's "Terrifier" films, is the latest one who has become popular with audiences, but he wasn't necessarily intended that way. Beginning as a mere supporting character in a short film that was meant to lead to an altogether different feature, he initially seized the spotlight as a supernatural being, rebooted as a more conventional slasher, then took a larger step into a much crazier and more epic universe. Along the way he somehow became a mass-marketed commodity as a result of being famous for nauseating people.

Two years have gone by since a psychological thriller called Apartment 7A – which Relic (watch it Here) director Natalie Erika James helmed for Paramount Players and A Quiet Place collaborators Platinum Dunes and John Krasinski – wrapped filming. Soon after filming came to an end, rumors began to circulate that Apartment 7A was secretly a prequel to the 1968 classic Rosemary’s Baby… and sure enough, that’s exactly what the movie is. It’s set to receive a Paramount+ release in the U.S. and in select international markets sometime at the start of the Halloween season, and while we wait to find out the exact release date and look forward to seeing the marketing, the Motion Picture Association ratings board has revealed that they have given the movie an R rating. The reason for this R: some violent content and drug use.
That’s similar to the rating M. Night Shyamalan...

When Paramount Pictures was finally absorbed by a conglomerate in 1966, it had been a long-running Hollywood powerhouse that was now contending with a new set of challenges.
Perfectly described by historian Robert Sklar as “the house Adolph Zukor built,” Paramount was one of the first major studios. As its leader, Zukor set in motion both industrial vertical integration along with a carefully constructed machinery for curating and maintaining celebrity image. Though Zukor was no longer chairman of the board by the time Gulf + Western swept in to take over Paramount, the founding mogul’s influence still permeated the studio gates.
At a time when Hollywood was searching for a new identity — founding moguls were gone or largely retired, shattered self-censorship practices were making way for a modern ratings system, studios were being gobbled up by companies outside of the entertainment realm — Paramount managed to prevail in glorious fashion. Within a couple years,...

The director of The Vourdalak, Adrien Beau recommends six horror favorites.
Family is the ultimate encapsulation of society. It offers us a taste of the whole world, but at a molecular level – and is very convenient if you want to destroy the world via your storytelling. The Greeks knew it with their tragedies, and we’re still using it to this day.
The tale of The Vourdalak is about how a monster can destroy their relatives from within, feeding one by one on those they love the most. In our case it’s a fatherly, patriarchal figure who has transformed into something inhuman… but the horrible threat can come from elsewhere in the family unit.
Here, I share my five favorite horror films about that very topic…
Horror Featuring… The Father And Mother
Stanley Kubrick‘s The Shining, of course, is my definitive pick when it comes to fear of one’s father.

Believe it or not, June is almost over. That can mean only one thing! Okay, it can actually mean lots of things, but for the purposes of this story, we're specifically talking about new titles coming to Netflix for July. Every month, the streaming giant says goodbye to a few movies and TV shows to make room for new stuff. These days, most of the new entries that hit Netflix are Netflix originals, but there are still a handful of library titles that arrive as well. And as June rolls into July, we're looking at one genre specifically: horror! Now, you might be one of those folks who only watches horror around Halloween season, but any month is a good month for a horror movie — even in the middle of summer.
And as the calendar flips over from June to July, you might be craving something scary. Thankfully, Netflix will...
