A young couple go to an abandoned & remote house to make love on
a bed that is conveniently placed there ... but they instead get eaten
by said bed. As the painting (voice: Patrick Spence-Thomas) facing the
bed tells us, the bed does have a long history of eating people, a
history that has made people avoiding it though, so it is only fed on
rare occasions nowadays. Soon after though, 3 female teenage runaways
decide to stay at the house, too. The first of the girls, Suzan (Julie
Ritter) is an easy victim as she soon splits away from the others to
take a nap in the bed, Diane (Demene Hall) seems much tougher, as she
puts up a fight, & is even helped by Sharon (Rosa Luxemburg) but all
to no avail, as she too is eaten. The tough nut of the trio is Sharon,
though, as the bed fears her since she resembles the woman (Linda Bond)
whose blood made it come to life in the first place (it does make sense
in the movie) & thus the bed regards her as its mother. Also,
Sharon's brother (William Russ), who originally came looking for her to get her back
home, agreed in helping her, but only gets the flesh of his hands chewed
from the bones for his efforts. But then the bed sleeps, & the
painting can finally tell Sharon how to exorcise the bed - if just to
free the spirit inside the painting from its prison. However, what the
painting neglected to tell her was that she has to die, too, for the
bed's mother to be reborn. What might at first glance sound
like another of those "everything might be obsessed by a demon
& tonight it's ... a bed"-Stephen King-stories is actually a
delightfully grotesque & macabre blend of art movie, trash horror,
fairy tale & self parody, like something you've never seen before.
Great far-out fun !
