Bed of the Dead

With a title like "Bed of the Dead" I wrongly assumed that this was going to be some kind of silly horror comedy. It is not. The film opens with a pretty gruesome scene involving an execution on a tree, obviously set in the past. Then the tree later gets turned into a large bed. Fast forward to the present day and two couples rent an expensive room at a sex club, which contains said bed. Hallucinations and death replace the fun and sex that they were seeking... Like I said this is not a comedy but played perfectly straight. It's not a bad film, there are some neat visuals and it is pretty gory. In addition to the two couples the story is also as much about the troubled policeman investigating the case. I like the way that the film intertwines the relationship between him and the female victims, for example they are speaking together by 'phone yet at different hours respectively. However the film has some weaknesses, including the characters/actors. It's pretty average, though it's the best bed horror movie that I can recall seeing. But as "DeathBed" is the only other one that does not say much!

Four young people get a room in an underground sex club for a shared tryst. The room they obtain has a huge bed. However, this bed is not an ordinary bed. Getting out of this bed is bad for your health.

This is the first horror movie about a bed that I have seen. Looking through some of the reviews I get the impression that there are more out there. Like I said though, this is a first for me.

This is a lower budgeted film but I thought it was filmed well. The acting and effects are just so-so. I thought it was put together well. I think it falls short due to the lack of explanation regarding the powers of the bed. We get an extremely vague look into the creation of the symbol when the film started but that was about it. I think, although I could be wrong, that the symbol was a tree of life symbol and maybe it was thought that the symbol offered enough of an explanation about what was going on. The significance should have been explained better.

It isn't top notch but for me, the film was interesting. I'll probably never watch it again but it was okay.

Bed of the Dead: Horror film involving time discontinuity and a carnivorous possessed bed in a Sex Club. Four people trapped on a bed, they get killed one by one by a dark spirit as they try to get off (off the bed that is though they had planned a foursome). The bed was made from the wood of a cursed tree, a sinning monk was hung from it and stabbed to death by his Brethren.

A cop gets in contact via mobile phone with one of those on the bed, but realises that he is several hours in her future. He then becomes entangled in the time loop. Bed disembowels, eats, chops up and makes people see visions. Each of them has a reason to feel guilt, the bed uses this against them. Not bad. 6/10. On The Horror Channel.

I have had this movie in my collection for sometime now, but have only just got round to watching it. I was mainly put off by the title, which makes it sound like some glib horror comedy from the '70's. However it is far from it, with an interesting story line, and good old fashioned gore. It does lose its way a little in the last 3rd, involving a time loop with a mobile and a detective which is never really explained and a little confusing, but just about manages to carry it through.

The basic premise of the movie is that a tree is used as a place of sacrifice and hanging, and is then cut down by a woodsman and made into a bed. As this back story takes place in the background of the opening credits, I don't think it can be considered a spoiler! The bed ends up in a sex club, where a guy and his best mate take their girlfriends on a birthday treat for a foursome. Needless to say things go very wrong as the bed unleashes its evil spirit.

This movie could have been a laughable disaster, but for me was a thoroughly enjoyable horror flick that was just that little bit different.

This movie story felt a bit original and it was entertaining. The actors were pretty decent but not 100% convincing. Do like the time line thing they had going on. Do to this the ending was predictable though.
