In Movieland, some people are just born for certain parts. This was a Jeffrey Combs/Barbara Crampton movie if there ever was one. All it lacked was Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton. This was not a good movie by any stretch of the imagination unless you are satisfied with the sexy blonde in the black underwear on the bed for a photo session. She was sexy but not sympathetic. The ending was ...well, what were they doing? The heroine was bashing in the skull of a person who obviously was no where near her from the angle of the camera shot and where she was swinging. Anyway, the movie was pretty bad. So bad in fact, I immediately again watched Reanimator and From Beyond, both with Jeffrey and Barbara, then I watched Death Bed again...I hate to admit it...I might watch it a third time. Oh, and Joe Estavez...Talk about unintentionally hilarious!!!.

If you like cheese and crap all rolled together, you just might enjoy this one. The lead actress looks like a poor man's Jennifer Aniston. She is involved in a few "sex scenes" and one shower scene and somehow manages to reveal zero in the way of nudity. The actor who plays the murderer is listed in the credits as Dukey Flyswatter (I'm guessing he didn't want his real name associated with this film). The male lead is always either getting something to drink, or recommending that his wife drink something (specifically, hot chocolate) to make her feel better. You'd think that a girl who is forever drinking hot chocolate would taste the difference on the occasion when 20 valiums are crushed up in her mug (but then again, I've never tasted a valium so I guess it's possible that they are sweet like candy). I did laugh out loud a few times during this movie, though. Pay special attention to how the husband "soothes" his wife in the scene after she tearfully reveals the painful story of how her uncle used to handcuff her to her bed and molest her as a child... priceless stuff. There is also a laugh-out-loud kill sequence where our heroine appears to be swinging her hammer in every direction other than where her bloody target is lying. But the most hilarious moment of all is featured in the "making of" segment. The actress who plays the ghost girl recounts how excited she was to get a shot at staring in Death Bed after reading and being "won over" by the amazing script! Ahhhhh ha ha ha ha!!
