Nick Schager Village Voice Jul 16, 2013
Matches narrative incoherence with one of the most over-the-top portentous scores in horror-cinema history. Go to Full Review
Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine Jul 13, 2013
1.5/4
The film's sense of conviction and psychological nuance never rises above that of the "I Learned It from Watching You" anti-drug PSA. Go to Full Review

6/10
Under the Bed captured my attention, I watched it right the way through, and I enjoyed watching it. At the end of the day that’s always going to be a film’s bottom line. Go to Full Review

A standard-issue creepshow, undermined by script holes and a meager budget that brings distinctly subpar effects. Go to Full Review

Draco S Jan 11, 2019 Just awful, poor acting.
Hermione L Jul 29, 2018 I watch mostly independent horror films, because when it comes to this genre, Hollywood is just too afraid to try anything different. When you see a horror film in theaters, it seems like all you get is either a slasher film with a ton of blood, a serial killer movie with lots of gore, or a supernatural thriller with nothing but jump scares. Real horror is supposed to be scary and is supposed to be something that sticks with you, but it's rare that a film can do that anymore, and Under The Bed is no exception. I can sum up this film by simply saying it's an hour of goosebumps, ten minutes of ridiculously over the top gore, and a whole five minutes of stranger things, thrown in at the end, for an attempt at originality. Not only was this a horror movie that I would call boring, but the cast was just plain annoying and written to be beyond stupid. If not for the writers love of the F word, combined with the last fifteen minutes of the film, Under The Bed could literally have been a Goosebump. Jonny Weston stars, and the future Project Almanac star, really was the only bright spot. This was one of his first films, but he at least has a clue as to how to live in the moment and build up the intensity. Weston's character had an interesting background and even a couple of funny one-liners, aside from that, this film has absolutely nothing. For those of us who love independent films, we are always taking a risk, knowing that a lot of times we're seeing newcomers. A lot of these films are something different, new, and refreshing, but other times they reek of inexperience and are completely lacking in originality. Under The Bed is yet another example of the latter. See more
Harry W Sep 4, 2017 Nothing much happens during the first 45 minutes of this movie, just a bunch of lame dialogue and a glimpse of the creature. Then, all hell breaks loose during the last 25 minutes or so. Lots of shots of the creature and plenty of blood and gore. However is only one note and adequate, the direction is all over the place and the story is derivative and confusing. Not the best. See more
