Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Michael_Elliott Death Bed: The Bed That Eats (1977)** (out of 4) Hear me out. A bed that is possessed by a demon eats anyone who gets on it.Yes, that's pretty much the story of this film, which was written and directed by George Barry. This one filmed turned out to be the only film Barry ever did and it's certainly unlike anything else out there. I've read several reviews about this film including a few in books that discussed the worst movies ever made. I also read about it in Stephen Thrower's Nightmare USA where it was given a different point of view. Personally speaking, I can see why some would call it one of the worst movies ever made but at the same time you have to admit that the film is original and it does contain some fresh ideas.DEATH BED: THE BED THAT EATS is a very strange and surreal movie. There's a certain European feel that hangs over it and there's no question that it has a certain atmosphere that is hard to explain. The entire idea of a movie about a bed that eats people is ridiculous but at the same time how many times do you watch a horror movie and then bash it for being the same old thing that we've seen countless times? You really can't say that about this movie because it is original and there's nothing else like it.Obviously when you're dealing with a movie about an eating bed, there's not too much that can be done in regards to a story. There's very little plot here and the majority of the running time are just short vignettes that have a variety of people show up at this castle, sit on the bed and get pulled in. The special effects certainly aren't anything great with the "bubbles" coming up and then we get a cut-away of the people inside the bed. The visual images of "inside the bed" are decent for what they are.The performances are pretty much what you'd expect out of a low-budget exploitation movie. There's some decent blood throughout as well as some nudity so the director at least knew how to build up the movie. I'm not sure if it was accidental or not but I did find stuff here to enjoy. It's certainly a very weird movie but I thought it was at least mildly entertaining.

Woodyanders A bed that's possessed by a lethal demonic spirit eats anyone who either sits or lies down on it. Yep, that's about it for the plot, but man does this flick register highly on the you have to see it to believe kookiness scale. Writer/director George Barry relates the offbeat story at a deliberate pace, does a sound job of crafting an odd dreamlike atmosphere, makes nice use of the gloomy isolated mansion location, and even sprinkles in a satisfying smattering of gratuitous female nudity for good measure. Fortunately, Barry doesn't take the gloriously ludicrous premise too seriously (the bed ingests a bottle of Pepto-Bismol at one point!). The rough cinematography, wonky synthesizer score, crude gore f/x, and ragged acting by a game no-name cast all further enhance the overall jaw-dropping weirdness. That's noted rock critic and official Bruce Springsteen biographer Dave Marsh as the sickly tortured artist imprisoned in a painting by the bed; Patrick Spence-Thomas provides the voice of the artist and serves as the picture's narrator. A truly singular doozy.

christopher-underwood This film is a sublime gem. How many times do we pick up a much lauded, so called, 'cult classic' and find that apart from an interesting opening and a decent climax, there is just too much chasing about in the woods? Well, every now and again a film pops out its box and leaps all over you, like this one. OK, you might imagine from the title that there should be at least one scene that at least alludes to the bed that eats. Believe me there is little else here. From beginning to end this is imaginative, surreal, horrific and startling mayhem. Sometimes beautiful, occasionally amusing but always captivating, this truly is a one off that will stun you with its audacity and leave you open mouthed. I even applauded sat upon my settee a couple of times. It is a tragedy this is so underrated but never mind all that just treat yourself to this amazing and only outing from director George Barry.

hungerartist I do love B- horror films. I however, am generally not a huge fan of "so stupid it's funny" films. I HAD to rate this so highly simply because Death Bed: the bed that eats, is so one of a kind, and so original. there are plenty of question marks, plenty of plot holes, and the WTF factor is cranked up to 11, but i was really not bored for a second. I really couldn't call it creepy at any point, Every minute i was saying to myself "what the hell is this bed/film going to do next!" I watched this with a friend that is in no way a fan of horror or B- movies, and even she was pretty into it. the effects were actually very inventive and the colors, and atmosphere were quite good. it keeps a very consistent and even tone throughout most of the film, (albeit an incredibly ludicrous consistency) and the acting wasn't TERRIBLE. I can see from the point that there are certain inconsistencies in the actions of the bed that make the suspension of belief damn near impossible, but the film itself was such a unique and bizarre concept, that that fact didn't really bother me. seriously, for me, this film hit that realm of one i will not only never forget, but i guarantee i will find myself thinking back on certain scenes in the future. does anyone else know of any other films in the inanimate objects that eat people genre? totally fantastic.
