Plot:
On the evening of their anniversary, Ray is attacked and murdered by a masked assailant in a desolate motel room while his wife, Teri, is forced to watch. Teri now faces the reality of rebuilding her life as a single mom without her beloved husband.
Desperate to communicate one last time with Ray, she uses a mysterious Ouija board to try to reach out to the other side. Doing so opens up a portal that puts her and her daughter’s lives in danger. When her worst fears seemingly come true, Teri finds herself bedridden and trapped in a cat-and-mouse game of life and death…
Reviews:
“Ramirez and Tinajero pull off a tricky combo of combining the visual styles of 70s horror with modern-day cinematography with considerable flair and skill- it’s just a shame it was for Bedridden. To conclude, Bedridden is a forgettable, derivative, and frustrating tyre fire with a clumsily executed story that doesn’t go anywhere.” Bloody Flicks
Release:
In the US, Bedridden was released on DVD by SRS Cinema on June 13, 2023. Bonus features include a behind-the-scenes feature, audio commentary and trailers.
