Now, I hadn't actually ever heard about this 2022 horror movie titled "Bed Rest" from writer and director
Lori Evans Taylor prior to stumbling upon it here in 2023. And with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I wanted to see if it was a good horror movie.
It wasn't. Well, I am maybe a bit jumpy on the trigger here, but I found "Bed Rest" to be a rather mundane, monotonous and generic horror movie about a couple being haunted. Yeah, "Bed Rest" didn't bring anything new to the genre, and what transpired on the screen had already been done numerous times in other similar horror movies. So you're not in for a grand horror experience, should you opt to sit down and watch "Bed Rest".
I will say that the acting performances in the movie were good. It was a very small cast ensemble, but luckily they were talented and were able to carry the movie, despite of having a bland script to work with.
Visually then "Bed Rest" was not innovative. It makes use of a couple of jump scares, but that is it. It wasn't making use of a bunch of special effects.
Sure, "Bed Rest" was watchable, but it was a generic attempt at a movie about a haunting.
My rating of "Bed Rest" lands on a four out of ten stars.
