Terry Staunton

Rosemary's Baby was one of the most controversial, talked-about mainstream films of the 1960s, and this prequel turns the clock back to immediately prior to the events of director Roman Polanski's influential horror. Julia Garner (TV's Ozark) stars as Terry, a young Broadway dancer sidelined by injury, who is taken under the wing of a kindly old couple (Dianne Wiest and Kevin McNally) who move her into their spacious apartment block. Terry's professional fortunes take an upturn as her benefactors become increasingly involved in her life, but sinister goings-on suggest all is not what it should be in her idyllic new home. Much of this film's narrative will be familiar to any viewers who've seen the movie that spawned it, although director and co-writer Natalie Erika James (Relic) also leans into the melodrama of Terry's Broadway experiences with a nod to 1950 classic All about Eve. What the story lacks in surprises (until the last few minutes) is counterbalanced by Garner's captivating performance: by turns vulnerable, terrified and gritty.
