If you watch "Death Bed: The Bed That Eats", you certainly are not expecting Shakespeare nor a film that will be featured on the Criterion Channel! No, you would only expect schlock....and schlocky it certainly is! And, because of that, I judge this one much differently than a film that tries to be good. The maker of this one, George Barry, obviously wasn't intending on anything other than a silly mess of a film...and he really succeeds in this sense.
The film is about an evil bed that somehow manages to keep eating people. now you'd THINK they'd notice folks were disappearing...but no! So, again and again, folks keep sleeping in the bed and are eaten by a weird yellow foam...accompanied with ridiculous chomping sounds! The 'victims' also look as if they are swimming in tinted ginger ale as they are being eaten!! I could say more about the plot...but why bother?!
The bottom line is that lots of amateurs seemed to have fun making this grade-z film...and on this level, it's good for a few laughs. I give it a 3 because a few bits are funny (the Pepto Bismol bit was cute) and the film did, oddly make me smile a few times. Also, be forewarned...there is some nudity in this one, so you might not wanna watch it with the kids, your mother or Father O'Reilly!
