Bed Demon (2016)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
A woman (Erin B. Ryan) is in bed when a red light goes off under a bed and a demon begins to speak to her. The demon tries to get the woman to look under the bed at him but she refuses and soon a comic back-and-forth chat begins.
Henrique Couto wrote, directed and plays the voice of the demon in this six-minute short, which has a couple nice laughs and it can at least say it's different than what you'd expect it to be. The real highlight here was the performance by Ryan who shows a great comic timing and I thought she brought a rather funny attitude and she refuses to do what she's told. The set-up is quite simple but it's an entertaining short that horror fans should enjoy.
