Under the Bed

About This Movie

So, 'Under the Bed' is an interesting little horror flick from 2023. The director is still under wraps, but the film really nails that creeping dread. You’ve got Mary, a young adult who’s just trying to get through a night alone in her room, and then things get weird. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially as the clock strikes midnight – always a classic horror trope, right? The pacing is deliberate, letting you stew in the anxiety before the scares land. I appreciated the practical effects; they’re pretty gnarly and have a tangible feel that digital effects sometimes lack. Performances are solid, with Mary really drawing you into her plight. You might find it distinct for its focus on the psychological over the overtly supernatural.
