If you are a horror fan, you know that it’s perfectly possible to keep the holiday spirit going and be excited about chilling movies at the same time while getting through December. You’ll be especially happy to know that Tubi is ready to send 2022 off with a scream. The streaming platform shared exclusively with Collider today a trailer forBed Rest, a horror movie starringMelissa Barrera(Scream 6). The story centers around a soon-to-be mother who’s having a risky pregnancy. After the doctor orders her to stay in bed until she gives birth, Julie (Barrera) stays home and starts to witness some weird events inside her house. We can also reveal that you will be able to streamBed Restas early as next week.
The trailer forBed Restis as disturbing as you’d expect it to be. You can immediately relate to Julie’s situation: She’s not only confined to her own bed, but also bored as hell. In this situation, you’d think that any event that changed the long hours of nothing would be welcome – but certainly not this one. The worst part is, we obviously don’t know what’s going on inside the house, and the movie will keep us guessing until the very end.
The trailer is also annoying in the best way possible: As it carefully constructs a scenario of increasing despair for its protagonist, it features a calm voice-over narration of a man who suggests you shouldn’t make a fuss out of anything that happens during the time you are on bed rest. And all of that while we start wondering what kind of horror story this is. We’ll have to watch it to find out, but that cat looks suspicious…
