THE FILMS

IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE, DON’T GO NEAR THE BED.

At the edge of a grand estate, near a crumbling old mansion lies a strange stone building with just a single room. In the room there lies a bed. Born of demonic power, the bed seeks the flesh, blood and life essence of unwary travelers… Three pretty girls arrive on vacation, searching for a place to spend the night. Instead, they tumble into nightmares – and the cruel, insatiable hunger of the Bed!

Strange killings occur at Ruby’s drive-in theatre, sixteen years after the murder of her gangster boyfriend.
