Bed Rest


 This is a 2022 horror film made for TV. It was directed and written by Lori Evans Taylor. The cast includes Melissa Barrera, Guy Burnet and Edie Inksetter. 

"Fear never rests" is the quote from this film. A couple move into a house while its being renovated, and among the dirt is discovered a bracelet, which has interesting initials. Julie is pregnant and both she and her husband are still grieving the loss of their first child who was stillborn. Certain strange things go on in the new house, including whispering voices and footsteps. They set up a baby monitor in the nursery and their pet cat is hissing at things which are not there, while the mystery of the place deepens.

This appears like a ghost story with some scares and very gothic atmosphere, including the thunderstorm. The house that they move into looks the part with a scary theme to it. It covers mental illness such as post natal psychosis. As this is made for television, it's going to be quite tame and also nice. This wasn't a bad film, in fact it was very entertaining and almost like a dark fairy tale. 

I rate this a 7/10.
