Good evening, House of Madness residents:
When it comes to horror, one entity just can't be 'worn out' as far as getting sick and tired of the same tripe over and over. After a while, ghosts can get a little dull, vampires can truly start to suck (THANKS TWILIGHT!), and zombies can become quite the bore. Obviously I'm speaking as if these were being churned out at a rapid pace, and we were being bombarded with an abundance of evils in a repetitive fashion almost like we were with the success of "The Walking Dead", where everyone and their greedy uncle wanted to cash in on a piece of the plagued pie. One minute I'm watching "Jaws", and the next there's an epidemic of stupid shark movies invading my movie hub, and I had to purchase a VPN just to escape those fake-finned fuckers. All that being said, for me there's only one evil that I can never tire of, simply because he comes in millions of forms, shapes, and sizes; all of which can be interpreted any way the creator of said story desires, as there really is no wrong way to describe Satan, as long as he's never nice.
In "Apartment 7A", we're not dealing with your run-of-the-mill devil, we're dealing with an adaptation of him that if you're a true horror lover, you've seen and experienced before. In 1968 (even before my time) the world was blessed with one of the true great slow-burn horror movies of our time, "Rosemary's Baby". Never before did I feel so duped as I did during the final climax of this film, but I mean that in the most complimentary way possible, as my appreciation and awe over the twist ending had me spinning with delight. "Apartment 7A" is a prequel to the aforementioned masterpiece in which a young dancer rents an apartment from an elderly couple, and there's something sinister brewing in the air. If this were to be a reboot or a sequel, I'd have certainly scoffed at such an idea, but for some reason a prequel feels just right, and I'm ready to see what director Natalie Erika James has in store for us; hopefully it's a devil of a time.
"Apartment 7A" is in post-production, which means there's still time before it's released to the masses, but it's every day one step closer to hitting the screen where our eyeballs can feast on its essence; hopefully sooner than later.
