Diagonaldi Very well executed
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Leofwine_draca I caught this one on Amazon Prime under the title EVIL NEVER SLEEPS rather than DEATHBED. It's a straight to video Z-grade B-movie shot by the lamentable Danny Draven, with Stuart Gordon and Charles band producing for Full Moon Pictures. The whole thing has an amateurish look which means that it's impossible to take it seriously. A couple come into possession of a cursed bed which begins to make them act in bizarre ways, with an emphasis on kinky sex which comes across as quite laughable. The whole thing is very tame and cheesy despite the promise of the title and genre. Poor old Joe Estevez has the decency to look embarrassed by appearing. There are also a couple of low rent ghost and monster scenes, but overall this is quite pitiful.
TonyDood I mistakenly thought this was the 70's art film about the bed that eats people, which sounded interesting. It isn't. Interesting, I mean, let alone about a man-eating bed.I assume Stuart Gordon put his name on this in the same spirit that Lloyd Kaufman puts "Troma" on just about anything that's been shot with a video camera, in the interest of building up a franchise library. Little more can be said about this opus other than the running time is less than 90 minutes. It is, of course, about a bed that is haunted by the spirit of a man, or something, that once killed a woman with a wig and long false eyelashes. Along the way we get **a five minute opening credit sequence (is the one for "Lawrence Of Arabia" even as long?) **a murderer with Marylin Manson contacts who kills using the same technique as the troll in "Cat's Eye" **demonstrations of a sexual practice Michael Hutchence may have employed **a preview of what Emilio Estevez will soon look and act like **soft core porn even Cinemax would pass on **manbutt and one topless scene **a wacky (or is it "whack"-ee?) ending involving unintentionally hilarious hammer hits and leftover strawberry pie (well, it looked that way to me) **and a rudimentary surprise ending apros pos of nothing much. It's like the screenwriter even fell asleep on the "Deathbed" before finishing the last draft.It's not scary, it's not sexy, it's shot on hi-def video and doesn't look bad but doesn't look good either, the acting is just good enough to not be bad enough to be fun and so is everything else. No one would probably have even seen or heard of it unless it was on a disc with another movie, the modern day "double feature." I wasn't paying attention for parts of it so I may have missed something. But for some reason I doubt it. Rating: PASS
oshilling Made it through the first half an hour and deserved a medal for getting that far. Lots of excuses for scantily clad women but no real plot to speak of emerged in that time. What sounded like a good idea for a movie was badly executed.
pig_71 I usually go into the video stores and can pick up a crap horror movie easily. I picked up Death Bed because of Stuart Gordon and Danny Draven. Let me tell you, this is a fine horror film, shot on quality video, it is classic in my book. Draven really sets up some tension and mood. Check it out! **** out of *****
