Horror and pregnancy are frenemies. From Rosemary’s Baby to The Brood to Inside, genre filmmakers have taken the horrific reality and all-out body horror of actual pregnancy and committed them to celluloid. Now, in her feature film debut, writer/director Lori Evans Taylor is tackling another side of pregnancy. Her film Bed Rest looks at pregnancy loss and post-partum depression from the perspective of a woman essentially trapped in her bedroom due to issues within her own body.
Read the full synopsis below:
After years of struggling to start a family, Julie Rivers (Barrera) is pregnant again and moving into a new home with her husband as they embrace a fresh start. Upon being ordered to mandatory bed rest, Julie begins to slowly unravel as she suffers through the monotony and anxiety of her new constraints. Soon, terrifying ghostly experiences in the home begin to close in on Julie, stirring up her past demons and causing others to question her mental stability. Trapped and forced to face her past, and the supernatural, Julie fights to protect herself and her unborn baby.
Melissa Barrera stars in the film as Julie. Bed Rest also marks Barrera’s first outing as a producer. You’ve previously seen Barrera in Scream (2022), In The Heights, and Vida.
