Death Bed: The Bed That Eats
Could a movie about a bed that eats people be artsy enough for The Cinema Snob? Or will it just give him food poisoning.

good review

So it goes from being an exploitation art film to being a horror film so it can explain its plot?

No, the MEN BEHIND THE SUN joke was genius.

Yes that's exactly what I thought while the Snob was reviewing the movie. It looks like they try to make a symbol out of every scene and present the bed as a metaphor of human degradation but the movie looks pretty good in an artsy and pretentious kind of way. Finally The Snob has found a movie for his tastes after searching through the heap of trash cinema. Marvelous

(shudders) I hated Men Behind the Sun...

The Writer/Director lives across the street from me. No joke.

You have to ask him what he was on when he made 'Death Bed.' I'm guessing shrooms and speed.

Artsy and pretentious this film may be but I cant forgive it for some of the worst acting I've ever experienced, when the cigar-smoking bandit was getting eaten I just about died laughing BEFORE the cigar was sticking straight out of the bed. I've been eager to see this movie get what it deserves since Patton Oswald made it famous in his stand up routine, thank you for sitting through it for us.
Reply to this
All I can hope is that Patton Oswalt carries through with his threat and gives the world RAPE STOVE: THE STOVE THAT RAPES PEOPLE.
Brad, it's my understanding that George Barry forgot that he even made "Death Bed" until somebody found an answer print and thought "Hey, this would look good on DVD." Though it's rare there have been movies that sat on the shelf for years: the crud occult-mystery "The Dead Talk Back" was never released after the film was made in 1957, then it was lost and not discovered until 1993; the "mad monk" Rasputin film "Agony" was shot in 1979 but not released until 1985 by the Soviet government; finally, Ed Wood's "Night of the Ghouls" was shot in 1959 but not released until 1981 because Wood could not pay the film lab fees!

mother fucker man, i'm expecting you to pull Mangler out next though that ones a little mainstream but still.....it would be fun to watch the snob review it
Good Work on this one....I can't believe that this could be made as an artsy film but then again what you've described about the film with a guy drinking water was made by student so this had to be made i guess

lol when you are touching your T.V. at the end of the review you almost looked like Johnny Depp.

okay... That movie looks weird... I'm debating if it's the good kind of weird though.
Awesome review though. Especially loved the ending with the big TV lol
Reply to this
It's not the good kind of weird.

I do love arthouse and insane z-movies like Oversexed Rugsuckers From Mars though.
So I still don't really know
Reply to this
As I always said your the best reviewer on the net, but your sidebar and endings lately have eclipsed even that. Excellent work.
Reply to this
I'm still just trying to imagine the moment when the filmmakers sat down and thought this film up.
Reply to this
Hilarious episode. Loved the internal monologue at the end.
*Dr. Evil Voice* "...Hot Pocket."
Reply to this
Shouldn't the line about food poisoning end with a question mark?
Reply to this
I noticed the newspaper that was printing the stories of the bed killing people was the Daily Bugle. I' am surprised I didn't see this headline
"SPIDER-MAN AND DEATH BED TEAM UP AND GO ON CRIME SPREE!!"
Reply to this
I caught the Daily Bugle bit, too. It's also probably one of the funnier parts of the movie too, which is weird since it probably wasn't even an intentional joke.
Reply to this
Wow, Brad.
That was amazing.
Thanks for the great review.
Reply to this
Ugh, not only did you have to remind me of Men Behind the Sun, you just HAD to show THAT scene.
I love that your internal monologue sounds like Ace Rimmer.
Reply to this
Wow, you're becoming really good at this.
Reply to this
Weird... I was just listening to one of Patton Oswald's CDs where he does his Death Bed bit thinking, "I wonder if Brad will ever get to this one?"
Reply to this
Personally, I prefer "The Sinful Bed".
But, still funny stuff
P.S. How did you miss "The Mangler" in your rant?
Reply to this
Great stuff as always man.
Got to ask, is this a re-release of an earlier snob video?
Either that or i've been watching a lot more shitty movies than i realized.
Either way, keep up the good work.
Reply to this
This movie was only 70 minutes?! It seemed much longer when we watched it. I guess Death Bed is also able to dick-ishly control time. Watching this made The Stand feel short by comparison.
Reply to this
Great I was hoping you'd get to this movie. Good job A+
Reply to this
Was that stomach acid or beer? I could have sworn that was Budweiser, which does have a similar effect on human flesh. Awesome review as always Brad!
Reply to this
lol, another great review. I actually kind of want to see "Death Bed" now.....
Reply to this
great review u should totaly review men behind the sun next not the original but the second on by godfrey ho
Reply to this
Oof!! That movie was garbage.
But the original MEN BEHIND THE SUN director, T.F. Mou, also made another excellent movie called LOST SOULS.
That's one I suggest any lover of QUALITY cult cinema track down.

Would love to see this on some serious 'shrooms!

wow, impecable timing. i've had this film on my brain for the last week, and as if by magic, the snob appears!
now i've seen this much i'm going to have to look at the whole thing though, i'm a bit of a nerd for the artist "the artist" is based on, and i'm pretty sure this is technically the only film that "about" him.
which is a mix of both slightly depressing, and immesely, immesely weird.

Reply to this
Before I even watched the review I knew this was going to be something special. I had heard of this movie before and had always hoped you would do a Snob video about it. Imagine my joy when I read the title!
Reply to this
Surprised you didn't say DEATHBED DEATHBED DEATHBED
Reply to this
"You show me images of nudist zombies, Turkish space warriors, and pornography of the nazi ilk"
-HaHaHaHa. One of the best reviews!
Reply to this
I wondered if the Snob would ever get around to Death Bed: The Bed That Eats People (sorry, I prefer the Patton Oswalt title). I was a little anxious about seeing it receive your trademark review-stick-beating, because I actually really like this movie (warts and all, so to speak), I even think the backstory and resolution are rather original. It also introduced me to Aubrey Beardsley (supposedly the artist in the wall), whose work I've grown to admire. However, you were actually very fair to it (it had echoes of your Italian Stallion review) which I don't really know if I find disappointing or satisfying. Either way, great work as always.
Side-note: your camera seemed to be having a little trouble with the focus. Also, just a thought: between your banner ads and the amount of space in the frame above your head, maybe you should think about aiming the camera down slightly, so your head will be centered in the frame despite the banners. Anyway, just a thought.

DEATH BED!!! Yesss!!! One of the worst trash of all!!!
Reply to this
This movie looks very interesting despite its flaws. I actually like the back story of the demon that was a tree then became a breeze, its like something from Gothic Faery Tale. Also love the Idea of the artist ghost trapped within his own painting. The whole thing looks to have a dream like quality. Your review settles it I am going to buy this one.
Reply to this
Jesus titty fucking Christ, that is the most pretentious, nonsensical piece of shit I've seen since We Are the Strange. I hate, hate, hate, HATE movies that try so hard to be weird and "surreal" for the sake of being weird and "surreal" and actually get popular with the the "I'm so different and unique that I simply can't enjoy a movie with a budget over a five dollars and a KFC family bucket."
...
...
And I also love the fact that the dude's hands are apparently held together with wire. You can see the little drill holes on his fingers. They could've at least TRIED to make it look like they didn't just yoink the bones from a high school biology class.
Reply to this
the end was simply genius. watched three times and it still cracks me up
Reply to this
OH YES!!!!! The review I've been waiting for! What's interesting is that I received my copy of this movie (which I ordered from eBay) on the day that the Patton Oswalt film BIG FAN was released on DVD. Without a doubt the best review from the Snob EVER!
Reply to this
Love your voiceover at the end. LOL!
Reply to this
Arty Garbage at its finest- from its execution to its characters, to its story handling. ALL SHIT.
I have nothing but hatred for anyone who acts all high and mighty like this IRL, seriously- there's no point, ESPECIALLY IF IT SOUNDS FAKER THAN A CARTOON...
I'm surprised Cinema Snob likes this shit. Well, it's his opinion.
Like I said, if anyone approached me and talked all arty to me, I'd tell them to seriously fuck off- I'm disturbed enough as it is knowing movies, for example, like this, EXIST.

Would love to watch this on some serious 'shrooms!

Great Review Brad..i am rapidly becoming a fan!
Yes,i have seen a few of these arty farty type of films...they exist merely for us to mock them and take the piss of of them

This review was...? So this is what taking drugs feels like.
Thanks Mr.Cinema Snob. Truly you stir up earthquaking laughter
Nice coming out of the closet with television fetish at the end. Am a bit into the Neon ligthing on store windows myself.
Reply to this
Oh wow.. the "Men Behind The Sun" joke was so wrong... but so yet very, very funny! Your videos are just getting better and better; and that not saying a little.. you where kicking ass from the very start of this show!
Man, going into this film I had pretty much the same expectation like anyone else... and then slowly realizing this that this has to be one of the most misplaced movie titles, and setups for an art house films... One minute, it screams cheap exloitation and cheese.. and the next minute you have some really poetic moments. This is one of the films that really makes me feel dirty, since it becomes so obvious for myself that people can sell me any kind of films if they just throw in some surreal and pretentious imagery!
Reply to this
Nah this was about the same as any other student "film" they shoot in Art or Media classes.
I should know I suffered to pretentiousness of having my name featured in the credits.
I even asked the tutor to destroy the tapes.
Was in hysterics at the "Orgy Bed" scene how could Brad not feature that in his review.
Reply to this
Finally got my copy of this...I love this movie! It's so all over the place! Even though it gets very surreal and artsy it never felt pretentious, because the next scene would be so silly and seemed purposefully so. I love how the snob found his happiness at last.
Reply to this
Very funny review, but which movie is this, where the bed is eating the kid and then thousands liters of blood coming out of it? it was shown at the beginning
Reply to this
Dude, that's the original NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET.
And the unfortunate victim in question is a very young Johnny Depp.
Reply to this
I was actually planning to buy this film, because I like a lot of stuff that "Cult Epics" release.
But after seeing this.. I don't know anymore. I do enjoy artfilms and actually buy them often, but I don't know... Well, maybe I buy it if I find it cheap.

"Oh I'm sorry. This is just the SOUND of Jean Shallot WATCHING the movie." XD lol.
I'm curious. Do they actua;;y eat fried chicken & plums while they make out?

This was certainly a strange and silly movie. I still like the originality behind the bed, but for a movie as strange as this, the DVD extras and commentaries felt underwhelming.

You are such a pleasure to watch, and this review made me laugh so hard. I want to see this movie now with my own cinema snobbish friend.
Reply to this
I have to say the concept is so good and the budget low that I could see this possibly warranting a remake although this original is bordering on bizarre horror masterpiece in It's own right. This is a must add to your horror dvd collection to give it some diversity and even if you don't like the movie look at it this way: You have a movie called Death Bed The Bed That Eats, that's worth it alone.

A logo that is too intricate hinders rapid visual identification. The viewer is required to "study" the image in order to mentally process the image and relate its identification to a given company. Note the simplicity and high visual impact of the Nike "Swish", an excellent image. Another reason to avoid complicated designs is that they do not reduce well. A busy, intricate logo on the side of a company truck may look wonderful but when the same logo is reduced in size for use on a business card it may become a meaningless blob of ink. Keep it simple and clean.

I’ve never been able to form a trusting relationship with my bed for fear that it will suddenly try to eat me. And now I know it’s true! Beds do eat people! And I bet that the dryer myth is true too! Dryers do eat socks and I bet they have eaten a few people in their day too.

The work at home entrepreneur has many obstacles to face. Typically the notion begins as we are heading off to a disgruntled job, leaving our kids behind to face a day that we are simply fed up with. It strikes us how wonderful it would be to leave behind the work a day world and provide for our families at home. Once the notion strikes, and it tends to strike hard, we begin the exhaustive search for the perfect work at home business.

There is a lot of confusion about business letters and many people are not sure exactly what a "business letter" really is. In fact, the term "business letter" is a very general one that can mean many different specific letter types. This article clears up the confusion.

This is probably one of the worst horror movies that I've ever seen. I can't realize how they've managed to come up with such a poor idea for a movie and even more, they found someone to back it up financially.

Actually, I'd like to see you stumble upon exploitation movies you like more often. You see all these obscure movies for a reason. There must be some attraction besides the opportunity to tear bad films apart. You must have found a few gold mines that keep you wanting more. Surely there are any number of good ones you've seen but just aren't telling us about. And there must be some gems that only you and a select few people could bring to a wider audience.

Interesting osbservations. The harsh language and use of the Lord's name in vain made it nearly as irritating as the movie itself. I did not finish watching the movie, nor did I make it through this acerbic review thereof.

The "lunch" scene is different from the one I saw some 25 years ago. Then, "the bed" took it's time to remove the girl's clothes, from the blanket, the pajama shirt, the trouser, and finally her panties. But the one I just saw, it only showed the blanket and pajama, and then .. she's already naked. What a bummer. The old one was much intense.

Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health or physical fitness, is a reduction of the total body mass, due to a mean loss of fluid, body fat or adipose tissue and/or lean mass, namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon and other connective tissue. It can occur unintentionally due to an underlying disease or can arise from a conscious effort to improve an actual or perceived overweight or obese state.

I cracked up at a couple of scenes. One where the bed killed a couple of people with a pretty impressive card trick, and another where the guy got his hands dissolved to the bone, and just had a look on his face that said, "Aw, man. That Burger King didn't hold the onions like I asked them to."
