Under the Bed (2012)

People are voting emotionally.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

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.

Well what can I say? This was one of those movies that left me questioning the universe as to what the hell just happened in the last hour and a half of my life.I'm going to come out and say it - this is a bad movie. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't watch it. It left me feeling confused because for a great deal there's some interesting character development and a story that I really wanted to see come into its own. I found myself questioning many aspects of the unfolding storyline, hoping that they would soon be answered. Alas this was not the case and my questions merely exposed some serious plot holes that are skimmed over by taking us straight into the action.The next confusing thing about this movie is that while the plot drew me in then let me down, the monster in this movie is actually really cool. It genuinely looks fantastic when it comes out to play, albeit its motives and methods are somewhat lacking in any coherent explanation.All in all this movie starts off feeling like it has some solid emotional substance but ends up throwing it away in favor of becoming a monster flick. The acting is a little rigid and be prepared in the last 20 minutes or so to say goodbye to anything you got out of the bulk of the movie.This earns a WTF? from me and while the plot is disjointed and unsatisfying it's worth watching just for the sweet monster. 3/10

Two brothers, the older of which has returned home after setting his house on fire and inadvertently killing his mother, must do battle against a man in a rubber suit who lives under their bed. Okay, so it's actually a monster, but, when you see it, you'll probably think, 'Oh, there's a man in a rubber monster suit.' Yes, that's the tone of the film.Naturally, the boys' parents think they're crazy and their dad is a complete idiot at all times (whether they're talking about monsters or asking for a drink of milk, he seems to find it in himself to start shouting and threatening to lock everyone in their rooms forever... or something like that – in short, he's a douche). Then you have your clichéd bullies who think he's crazy and they live next door (do you get the impression this film is lining up plenty of characters who are going to fall foul from the thing under the bed?). But it's not all bad news for the older brother... no sooner has he returned to his home town then he's met the one hot girl who finds surly, reclusive arsonists who ride BMXs really attractive. So there you have your 'love interest.' Yawn.The film starts off slow. I'm guessing this is to 'build tension.' But it just involves things moving in the house. Personally, I've never found a washing machine's door shutting by itself that horrific.Yeah, there's a climax and some funky coloured lights here and there. They even throw in a chainsaw by this time to try and spice things up, but, by now, do you care? I didn't. It's not terrible, just nothing remotely new enough to warrant me paying it any real attention.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

This movie smells a lot like "Phatasm". Instead of the tall man and the flying spheres you get a smoke machine and a hunchback in a foam-covered wetsuit. There's also an evil dimension with a lot of coloured lamps and sheets. The biggest win however is the angry dad character, whose crowning achievement is the "grow the f.#k up" speech towards the middle of the film. It's hilarious to see him respond to his children in the way that he does. Basically it goes something like this: child: "A demon ate our mommy." Dad: "Get a job." I can't believe the actors went along with dialogue this bad without protesting or at least laughing.The script could have been written by a pre-school student. Ooh there's like a monster under the bed and you have to sleep on cupboards. You can't touch the floor. And sometimes like the washing machines kind of wobble when it's mad. If you could judge this movie by normal standards I would say one out of ten, but how can you apply a normal scaling when a movie has become so bad it's good? Also to be fair the crew did a good job with the low budget they had for the monster scenes. Especially the heads getting ripped off.
