Pretty Good

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Under the Bed is a movie starring Jonny Weston, Gattlin Griffith, and Peter Holden. Two brothers team up to battle a creature under the bed, in what is being described as a "suburban nightmare" tale. Under the Bed is one of those films that were probably released straight to dvd and it makes sense of course or either played in select cinemas back in 2012, the movie is directed by Steven C. Miller one of the worst directors of our time that still struggles on making a good movie. The acting was pretty low average, the script and plot were ridiculous and the monster that does show up in the end of the film and the older brother goes up against looks terrible. Overall just a stupid horror movie.

I so badly wanted to like this film, as I thought it would finally convince children there could indeed be a monster under the bed! Unfortunately it was not the case. At first, the film only gives us bits and pieces to chew on, keeping you guessing. Then, all of a sudden, everything happens at once during the film's final moments. The film was not scary at all, and suffers from a lot of plot flaws. Where did the demon come from and why is it haunting the brothers? Why would they still sleep on the bed if the know the monster is indeed under the bed? Why is the demon so utterly passive for the first three quarters of the film? The demon haunted them years ago, as well, and their mother died attempting to save them? What happened to the demon thereafter and why is it back now? How can the father still not believe them? The father is also the most annoying character with the most deja vu attitude and dialogue I've seen. Nope, there are better films out there.

While people are VERY and i mean VERY picky on horror. Just like the movie hole which i saw it for 20 mins and i went and bought it at walmart! This i want too, for most movies i am a little picky in sense of types of horror i like, many i not into like serial killers, just like some nutjob goes out and kills people, they may live at end creating a sequel its like yeah yeah.... Boring . Take this movie, got a kid that to me anyway looks like a 19 year old version of Ponyboy from The Outsiders if look in the face and Ponyboys face when blonde hair and talking about nothing stays gold. Really looks very simular, through not him at all. Two brothers tormented by a creature under the bed, the fog, the creepy arms grabbing him at times, their in their face when trying to sleep. Afraid it will get them. The killing scenes are so awesome the head breaking of the one kid through not sure if the rest died, i think the girl said they did. The angry, bitter, but still love him dad burning like in acid, and the way the head was ripping out. They know if they told them or so the parents or people wouldn't believe them. Add that and the grabbing the slow but steady of them trying to kill the thing, figure out what it is, or any signs of stopping it. While doing best to endure the mindset that their dad and their step mom thinks their nuts. The laundry room scene was cool the way it shows up in the dark. TO me thats cool and the Hole was fun, great cast funny, clever so its like it but to a different direction. I don't know about you but i like movies a little unique and slows it down but also same time, keeps it steady with it. I understood it all, just somethings like how does it get out of the bed if it never had before. That and why is it only picking on the two boys, and never went after them before, but i just say oh well a few questions but still a great movie, and i will buy it and i only like to buy movies i like. I saw 20 mins of hole i loved it i bought it took a risk on the ending. I like this soon id get it. 8/10

Not much to say here, this is a teen horror movie aimed at tweens. The central actors were all earnest in their roles gotta give them that. Reminds me of movies in the eighties I would have watched so if you're about 13 you may enjoy this. Otherwise this is cliché driven, competently filmed but lacking in verve of any type in the script the only thing more ridiculous than the titular horror was the Dad who despite recent deaths due to a domestic fire insists locking people in bedrooms is a good idea never mind health and safety precaution. Fortunately for this film night terrors exist but Child Services don't. Nonetheless some tweens may enjoy.
