The ending shoulda been sad and tragic but it was actually funny af. I nearly thought she was gonna charge towards the window and yeet clean through it like Superman 🤣
Good lord nick has so much knowledge on film and books made into film it's mind boggling 😮 I wish you would interview directors etc that would be so intriguing
I am a fan of you two. I love the moments where Joseph says "we just reviewed a movie where...pause". Nick has recently reviewed 60 in print, 16 on cam, his eyes go on fade waiting for more detail on how to follow this tangent. and then. You roll with that thread from "gossipy ass nuns" to "hail satan" to "but why". Thank you.
It was reminiscent of "Rosemary's Baby," but I enjoyed this film. Would love to see you two review new series grotesquerie. Also, I love your knowledge of film and honesty when reviewing. You are genuinely my favorite pair of critics.
I would have rather had a proper sequel to Rosemary's Baby. Show Rosemary raising him, struggling to adhere to societal expectations of motherhood while she increasingly realizes her child is evil and she wants out of the situation.
Great review! When I went to film school we would sometimes work with lavalier mics. Placement is very important when using them. When you position them on your neck where your voice box is, it can be problematic. It sometimes creates a echo or can catch your adams apple swallowing. They are excellent mics, but because they are very delicate, it can make your voices very loud. Suggestion: if you place them on your shirt slightly away from the very middle of the neckline, you may have better luck. (example- if Nick is on the left- place it left; Joseph is on the right- place it on the right. This way when you turn your neck towards each otber, there will be minimal interference.) Love you guys! Keep up the great work!
Yeah, thought that was scary at first. But if it was played out better in the film, that would be more of a warning to potential victims. If the protagonist is just dumb, that doesn't teach anyone anything.
7:01 that would be dope! Like a Halloween vignette based solely on Ben Traymor’s Halloween night. Or the trucker whose clothes Michael myers stole. Freddy’s nightmares is basically the idea but with more. That would be my new fav. Move over black mirror.
i will say i love the costumes in this movie, they're so retro but unique and colorful, at least the costume, hair, and makeup were having a ball in this movie!
Just watched this and was embarrassed for everyone involved. I had to see what you guys thought because I knew you’d clock the ridiculousness of this film 😂
"You're in Dubrovnik, I don't hear you." I wish they did a prequel to the woman who owned the apartment before Rosemary. We already know what happened to Terri. Or even the history of the Bramford going back as a series.
I was confused because in this movie we see Rosemary and Terry in the laundry before Ms Gardinia gets taken to the hospital... if rosemary is already living in the building- whose apartment is she in? she's suppose to be living in ms gardenias apartment...
They should have cast Edi Patterson with slight aging makeup as the elderly woman with the thick accent. She looks exactly like the original actress and is excellent at acting crazy.
Could they not even look at the original blueprints or at least the film “Romsemary’s Baby” to get an idea how to recreate the original hallways areas of the Bramford hotel? Why did it look totally different in “Apartment 7A”??
Hopefully someone who likes the books and has a flare for ominous but quirky horror adapts Son of Rosemary one day, I think this may suit Rob Zombie, his stuff can be bleak yet very cheesy. There was a very very boring tv series of Rosemary's baby about 10 years ago where they tried something different, I may watch this because that put the bar pretty low but I like the books.
I would like a batshit crazy adaptation of that book, minus the ending! But yes the miniseries was trash. Watch the 2017 anthology film 7A, the last segment is a stealth sequel to Rosemary's Baby and is pretty satisfying.
Personally I love the Rosemary's Baby remake with Zoe Saldana. I watched the trailers for 7A, those terrible fake "New Yawk" accents are seriously cringe, Ruth Gordon must have been writhing in her grave, and they really messed up the so-called period interiors of the Dakota Apartments. I love it, the "Adkins Theatre" (the Brooks Atkinson Theatre now known as the Lena Horne Theatre) Oh yeah, let's take some inspiration from "All About Eve" and the George Sanders character "Addison deWitt" who was modeled after the famous theatre critic Brooks Atkinson. You could go on and on just from watching the trailer, all you need is someone channeling Bette Davis quoting "it's going to be a bumpy ride"; I suspect this movie is going to be a very bumpy ride. That paper mâché devil costume looks comical, all that actor needs is a plastic pumpkin to go trick o treating.
I read Son of Rosemary in galleys, after having been a fan of all of Ira Levin's work, even the novel for Sliver and This Perfect Day, an adaptation of which would be timely today. Absolutely hated it. Felt Levin must have had some unending hatred for the reputation of Rosemary's Baby which he now seemed to want to destroy. For a while Mia Farrow was packaged with it, but fortunately it was never made.
There is always the need to go back to much better films. Rosemary’s Baby is a great film that told its story . There is no need for a prequel. There was a TV movie if I recall correctly from mid 70s called Whatever Happened To Rosemary’s Baby?
From a weak formula to 'match-making' for the 'ambitious victim' to eagle-eyed Nun...who's most probably seen *that book more than once😅* - thanks, your suggested story outlines made more sense😉😀
I was so optimistic about this movie, but it was a let down. It retread everything from the original film. We all knew how it would end, so the only way for this to be refreshing was for them to expand on the story and giving us some new elements to the story. We still had Roman and Minnie, we already know about his father, we all ready know about Dr. Saperstein, we all knew the “father” would be a complicit cult member….. nothing new was provided here
‘METROPOLIS: THE MUSICAL’ is a real thing! 😱 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Now I want to see it. Could be a Tyler Perry project so off-off-off Broadway it’s mounted in Corpus Christi, Texas. 🫣
A better prequel would have been about the Castevets. A movie about them being younger and how they came to being satanists.
Nahh.. should have been a rehabilitation of a smack head like she illuded to..
Satan screwing with the mics 😂
I thought it was just my speakers! 😅
This nun knows all the tea. LMAO! She sounds like my type of nun. LOL!
The ending shoulda been sad and tragic but it was actually funny af. I nearly thought she was gonna charge towards the window and yeet clean through it like Superman 🤣
Good lord nick has so much knowledge on film and books made into film it's mind boggling 😮 I wish you would interview directors etc that would be so intriguing
It was okay...the scary part for me was her dancin @ the end😂😂😂
9:20 “It was the stanky leg” LMAAOOOO 😂😂😂
Is that actually a thing? If not it's about to be.
When my now 23 year old daughter was a teenager, I was almost positive that I birthed the spawn of Satan! Lol
😱
😂

Not the stanky leg!!!
🤣🤣🤣
not “ the stanky leg” 🤣
You guys are funny and the reviews are on point 🎯
Nick is so funny….. his facial expressions are always a treat… 😂

Nice advice. 👍
“There is a way to trap people and this is not it” what do you mean by that? 🤨😂
Yeah, thought that was scary at first. But if it was played out better in the film, that would be more of a warning to potential victims. If the protagonist is just dumb, that doesn't teach anyone anything.
He's calling out the bad screenplay mechanisms. lol
@@robertr798 Correct!
“Red flag factory”!!! 😅
"Doubt, like meryl" is fish jelly's sentence of the year.

Great review guys. I saw it today and I gave it a 4/10 it just didn’t feel like a horror at all and also predictable.
Just watched this and was embarrassed for everyone involved. I had to see what you guys thought because I knew you’d clock the ridiculousness of this film 😂
I just finished the movie and to my dismay, there were no stanky legs to be found.😢 A stanky leg or two would've made it a bit more entertaining.
"You're in Dubrovnik, I don't hear you." I wish they did a prequel to the woman who owned the apartment before Rosemary. We already know what happened to Terri. Or even the history of the Bramford going back as a series.

"Lily Blossom Bloom" gave me whiplash. 😵
I’m so ready for this…….🙌🏼
I know this was likely in production around the same time, but im worried that everyone are learning the very wrong lessons from The First Omen.
Which is?
They should have cast Edi Patterson with slight aging makeup as the elderly woman with the thick accent. She looks exactly like the original actress and is excellent at acting crazy.
Don’t let anyone steal you anthology idea. ❤
Could they not even look at the original blueprints or at least the film “Romsemary’s Baby” to get an idea how to recreate the original hallways areas of the Bramford hotel? Why did it look totally different in “Apartment 7A”??
A film about the Castevet's would've been so much better. They could've created a new trilogy with a new Rosemary's Baby as the third film.
A prequel to Rosemary’s Baby…just what the world needed.
Nice cast, but good grief. What’s next, a prequel to Citizen Kane? 🙄
Hopefully someone who likes the books and has a flare for ominous but quirky horror adapts Son of Rosemary one day, I think this may suit Rob Zombie, his stuff can be bleak yet very cheesy.

@@CalebTizon agree, agree, agree and thank you for the recommendation 😊
Nick, that tee is awesome. Mind sharing where you got it?

Oooof, you did not have to show the screenshot of the broken ankle, guys! lol

Yes, absolutely horrible TV movie.even for the 1970s. Although Ruth Gordon puts in an appearance.

This movie/prequel wasn’t necessary. The original “Rosemary’s Baby” is sooo good it just needs to be left alone.
I was so optimistic about this movie, but it was a let down. It retread everything from the original film. We all knew how it would end, so the only way for this to be refreshing was for them to expand on the story and giving us some new elements to the story.

To be fair it has to be similar to the first movie in someways …this character is in the original movie
Usa has never done an original movie since the 80s
And they never will because they fire every director who has vision
I just finished the film... Wasn't that good at all. Yeah, just not feeling it. About to watch Speak No Evil now
Yasssss, I’m early ❤❤❤
this movie made no sense. why would rolling your ankle ruin your ability to dance? sorry i watched it
She broke her ankle
Didn’t have much interest. These prequels tend to not be good.
stanky leggg 😂
This movie SUCKED.
‘METROPOLIS: THE MUSICAL’ is a real thing! 😱
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now I want to see it. Could be a Tyler Perry project so off-off-off Broadway it’s mounted in Corpus Christi, Texas. 🫣
Saw it in London - twice! Back in late Eighties. Loved it. Campy goodness ❤
