Bed Rest

I will be honest, this movie looked mediocre to me and my thoughts were confirmed after watching the first few minutes. It looked to be an average haunted house movie where a happy family is torn down towards the end. The only thing slightly different was that the wife is pregnant. I stuck with it to see if there was any uniqueness due to that and I'm actually glad I did. Despite the run of the mill introduction, there was actually some intelligence here and there was a lot of substance towards the end. The main actress was very good and she sort of carried this movie on her back. If this movie had the pacing it did towards the last half hour, a lot of people would stick around and enjoy it. The scare factor could have been upped for sure and should have been executed better to be really effective but overall, I would recommend it for a simple horror movie night.

Started watching this movie with lot of expectations - Good horror, and captivating storyline.

On the contrary, no major chills, a plain horror movie that picks up only in climax. But the ending is super simple. Melissa looks terrific though and if u r fan of hers, then u won't be disappointed.

Screenplay was tad too straight, no major horror elements at the start till mid, i thought it should be a great build up for the climax but the story never picks up. Some thrill in the mids, but that too was too short. However, it's not a bad movie, direction and production value was good and could be in your list if there is nothing to watch.

Bed Rest" is a horror movie that had its moments of suspense and thrills, but it also had its fair share of slow and uneventful parts. The acting of Melissa Barrera was a standout for me, and her performance helped to keep me engaged in the story. The themes explored in the movie, such as pregnancy, lost pregnancy and lost children trauma, trust issues and mental health issues, made it more adult oriented and added depth to the story. However, the movie's reliance on cheap jump scares and strange whispering voices and sounds felt overused and detracted from the overall experience. The ending was not as satisfying as I hoped it would be, leaving me feeling a bit underwhelmed. Overall, while "Bed Rest" has its merits, it is not a movie that I would highly recommend.

The actress was horrible! Character decision was ugh, stubborn unreasonable teenager way of thinking , her reactions to multiple incidents and scenes were so off, her priorities doesn't make any sense (well that's on the director, not her, still bad execution ).

Dialogues are just forgettable. Just like some characters that the director has forgotten at the end lol Then the last act and other character's reactions? Was plain, numb and senseless .. The funny part is, the ending doesn't make sense either, you will think : "what was all this about then? What in heavens has happened?" But, is it watchable in bed while trying to sleep ? I guess yeah.

Trailer looked alright and I liked the premise. I saw reviews before watching and they were mainly negative and the ones that were positive said to wait till the end - which made me hopeful that this incredibly generic, made for tv movie would have a pay off and unfortunately it absolutely didn't.

It had all the beats and tropes of a generic horror movie you could find anywhere. There is nothing nuanced about any part of it: the script, direction, acting, story, is it in the protagonists head or real - it's all just very basic.

If you're not a fan of horror and you might enjoy this but anyone who's seen more then 10 horror films will roll there eyes at this. And anyones who loves horror or is a huge horror buff or cinefile and expects something extra will find this an utter waste of time like I did.
