Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a horror film: "Bed of the Dead"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins with four hooded men dragging a criminal to a tree,
which acts as a hanging post for convicts and crooks
The hooded men replace the hung rotten corpse with the terrified criminal, and stab him to death
Days later, a carpenter chops down the same tree, carves it into a "tree emblem,"
then decorates it as a center piece of a king-size bed frame
In current times, the bed is named "19 10 Van Meager"
On the other side, firefighters, the police,
and the medical team surround an exotic club, after a fire broke out in Room 18
A detective of the investigation team arrives tipsy at the club
Despite being intoxicated and coughing, he fights it with medicine
He intakes his medicine in his car, checks his appearance on the car's sun visor,
then stares at his daughter's photograph
On his way to the club, the medic tells him that they discover five bodies
Inside the club, he sees his partner talking with the receptionist of the club
The partner updates Detective on his findings,
showing the surveillance footage containing the last time the victims in Room 18 are seen
The partner proceeds to read the record book,
tracking the list of customers checking into the club;
but Detective suddenly grabs it from him
Detective then reads a name, Doug, the person who last booked Room 18 three months ago
The partner shares that Doug's wife is in prison for gouging out Doug's eyeballs
he adds someone committed suicide in the same room last year
The main problem is they're unsure
why the four victims never signed their names in the record book for Room 18
So, to unravel the crippling mystery,
Detective orders his partner to background check all the victims of Room 18
From the surveillance footage recorded two hours ago,
everything transcends to the time when the four friends were still alive
It was late at night, and the four friends were waiting to get their room;
when suddenly, the receptionist in the registration said there were no rooms available
Fred, who was talking with the receptionist, asked Ren to do the talking
Ren reminded the receptionist that there was a room with a king-size bed;
but she said it was not available
Desperate to keep the show going for his birthday,
Ren bribed the receptionist with more money to acquire the room
After Ren's successful transaction,
the four friends walked to their room and entered the filthy and stale Room 18,
where each furniture was covered with blankets
Ren found a dusty piano, and an explicit video for viewing option on the television;
while Fred unveiled the Van Meager bed in the room
After Nancy changed into an outfit in the bathroom,
everyone gathered on the bed with liquors on hand
Nancy and Sandy were about to kiss as requested by Ren,
when suddenly Nancy saw a creepy old woman replace Sandy's face
Nancy staggered backward, shocking everyone with the turn of events
Things became grim, and the two women lost interest in playing the game;
so they decided to sleep, leaving Fred and Red disappointed
Back in the present, Detective investigates the crime scene in Room 18
The captain humorously welcomes Detective back from hiatus
According to the captain, a gas leak triggered by a lit cigarette, caused the fire
Detective then approaches Nancy's body on the floor,
and the captain relays to him that she had shattered bones,
but with no evidence of bruises on the body
Scattered on the floor are the room key and charred Van Meager bed
The captain says they discovered two more bodies under the bed,
and one of the burned skeletons has a ring on its finger
Things transcend to the past, when the four friends were still alive
Fred woke up to the sight of his dead dog entering the room
He left the bed and approached the dog with pleasing eyes
However, Nancy woke up and saw nothing in front of Fred
Fred glanced at Nancy with a happy smile
However, when he turned to his dog, it was gone
A grumbling noise emerged under the bed, and suddenly bloody slashes appeared on Fred's legs
Unexpectedly, a strong force under the bed withdrew Fred,
and Ren grabbed him, hoping to save his best friend
But blood splurged from Fred, allowing the darkness to swallow him completely
seconds later, Fred's blood spilled onto the carpet
Ren checked and called Fred under the bed; but there was only a child's voice echoing Fred's name
Ren stopped everyone from leaving the bed, for something ominous was lurking
They couldn't reach their charging phone across the room;
so Ren and Nancy shouted for help, but no one could hear them
Sandy threw the alcohol bottle at the window;
but everyone was shocked to see the bottle rewound and returned into place,
as if nothing had happened
Back in the present,
Detective and his partner watch the forensic team remove Ren's charred skeleton from the ceiling
They learn that Ren was 25, and charged with DUI a couple of times during his teenage years,
to the point that he lost his driver's license at 18
After a year of losing his driver's license,
Ren drove and accidentally hit a five-year-old child while drunk
Unfortunately, Ren died not from the fire, but from disembowelment, whose cause is still unknown
Meanwhile, the receptionist's boyfriend, the real club owner,
barges into the crime scene, demanding her to let someone book Room 18
Police officers surround the club owner, and cuff him for trespassing the police activity
After the commotion, Detective returns to Room 18,
and covers Ren's fingerprint on the ceiling pipes with powder
He ponders that if Ren was not running away from fire, then what?
Things switch back to the past, when the only ones left were Sandy, Nancy, and Ren
Out of ideas, Sandy threw the key on the floor to let it slide through the door gap,
hoping and waiting for someone from outside to open the door for them
Minutes passed; Ren shared that Fred's like a brother to him,
when Nancy suddenly freaked out because they didn't know what to do
so Ren sarcastically suggested pretending to care about Fred's death
Unexpectedly, Ren froze as a bloody monster erected from the bed,
and panicked about everyone's disappearance
He could only see the monster alone;
so he escaped from it by dangling onto the ceiling pipes, and swinging away from the bed
However, the bloody monster hung upside-down in the ceiling, and cornered him
Ren finally saw and heard the two girls, telling him to return to bed
However, it's too late, for the monster already entered his body,
and made his stomach burst, causing a bloody rain to pour onto the two girls
Back in the present, Detective interrogates the cuffed owner about the identity of the victims,
but the owner himself doesn't know them
Detective then sees the actual photo of the bed, looking gigantic
Afterward, he receives a phone call from his partner,
saying they identified the fifth victim in the hallway
The fifth victim was Allan, with sexual assault charges from a young woman
However, after learning the court appealed not guilty to Allan, the desperate woman hung herself
Things flashback to the past, when the only ones left were Sandy and Nancy
Sandy stopped Nancy from staring at Ren's corpse in the ceiling pipes,
and recommended she be apathetic in their situation
They washed their faces with liquor, and drank it afterward
Outside, Allan from earlier, opened the door
Nancy and Sandy asked him to call the police,
but Allan touched the bed, causing him to hallucinate the two women luring and enticing him sexily,
when they were only staring at him
He was about to join them on the bed; but he felt Fred's gooey blood on the carpet
Suddenly, everyone disappeared from his eyes, and he felt a force strangling him
He ran outside the room and fell on the floor
A hideous female monster crawled towards him, and broke his chick neck completely
Sandy and Nancy witnessed Allan's gruesome death
The door closed by itself, and the two questioned the unexplainable events in Room 18
Nancy then remembered and shared a story about a man who never wanted to leave his house,
because he feared the devil ought to kill him
Everyone tried to convince him that he was fine; but he didn't believe them
So the man's wife drugged him to sleep,
and brought him to a psychiatric institution to convince him that he was okay
However, when the man in the ambulance arrived outside,
and the paramedics opened the door,
an unexpected drunk driver collided with the ambulance, killing the man in an instant
Amidst their chat, Fred's phone on the floor chimed a notification
So Sandy used a blanket and a pillow to pull the phone towards them
After a couple of attempts, Nancy helped her balance on edge to pick up the phone
Sandy grabbed the phone and texted a message for help
The message was sent around 3:45 AM,
and the other phones in the room received the same text,
including Detective's phone at the present time, which is around 5:43 AM
The text message between Detective and Sandy simultaneously occurs despite being in a different time
Apparently, the past and the present meet because of the bed in Room 18
Detective replies who's the texter, and Sandy reveals her identity and current location
Detective's skeptical because he's in Room 18 now, but he can't see Sandy
He then asks for proof, and Sandy from the past,
carved her name on the bedpost,
and Detective in the present, watches Sandy's name slowly appear on a wooden chunk
Detective covers the wooden chunk with powder, and sticks a tape to copy the engraved name
He then hides the wood in a zip-lock bag,
and gives the tape with Sandy's name to his partner, who's eating in the hallway
Once alone, Detective listens from a music box in the hallway,
and imagines himself in an open field, watching his daughter approach him with a smile
However, the beautiful dream ends abruptly with the noise of a speeding car
Detective wakes up in the control room, crying and wanting to kill himself,
but he calms himself by inhaling coke
Things flashback to the past, when Sandy and Nancy lay on the bed
Nancy, weakened by their situation, asked the purpose of their suffering in the room
She blinked for a moment, and reencountered the old woman, but in a hospital bed this time
Nancy bolted upright and admitted her crippling fear
Sandy embraced and comforted her that they would survive the place,
despite the backlogging confusion on their minds
Later, Sandy from the past calls Detective, who's in the present
They talk with each other clearly, and Detective asks if Sandy can leave the room
Sandy explains to him that she's sane, and if they leave the haunted bed, they're going to die
while staring at the ring on a scarred skeleton,
Detective asks if either of the two women owns a heart with a crown ring,
and Sandy answers it's hers
Detective then relays to her that a fire's about to break out around 5 AM,
and they need to leave the bed
Sandy tries to ask if they're going to survive, but the call ends abruptly
After the call, Detective set a 50-minute timer on his phone to track the time of the fire
In the past, Sandy revealed she was included in the shoot-out in a university
Her fiancé took the bullet that was initially aimed at her
She persistently blamed herself, believing it was her fault
Afterward, Sandy expected that Nancy would admit a mistake from the past,
which could be a reason she was locked inside the room,
and if everyone with a sin leaves the haunted bed, he'll die
However, Nancy claimed she is innocent
Suddenly, Nancy saw Sandy hooking up with Fred and Red on the television screen
Sandy convinced her it wasn't real, but Nancy didn't believe her, and wanted to leave the bed
Sandy tried to grab her, but Nancy hit her in the face instead
Nancy apologized and still chose to leave,
which left Sandy no choice but to strike Nancy on the head
Back in the present, Detective guards the club owner detained in the police car
The owner remembers from the article he read, that Detective killed an innocent black man,
and accused him of being the gang member responsible for his daughter's death
Detective only listens when his partner approaches him,
to relay Sandy and Doug's information background
Sandy's fiancé died protecting her from a shoot-out
Meanwhile, Doug was a registered pedophile and charged with sexual assault,
and when Doug's wife found out his sins, she killed him
The partner leaves Detective alone, and the club owner comments that the partner hates Detective
The club owner then asks if Detective was drunk when he shot the black man,
which triggers Detective to punch him on the nose
Luckily, the captain stops Detective, and orders him to go home
Before Detective enters his car, he tells his partner to save Sandy
In the past, Sandy held her engagement ring and was about to leave the bed,
when Nancy suddenly woke up from unconsciousness, and realized why she must be in Room 18
She remembered when her mother with cancer was comatose for a long time,
to the point her family decided to pull the plug
However, her mother woke up one day, feeling nothing but fine
Nancy was about to tell the doctor not to pull the plug,
but she changed her mind midway,
because she remembered how she hated her mother for insulting her for being pregnant at 16
Across the room, Nancy saw her mother
Tears welled in her eyes, and despite Sandy's word not to go,
Nancy approached her mother, but the moment she left the haunted bed and stepped on the floor,
her bones became brittle, leading her to death
Back in the present, Detective visits Doug's wife in prison,
and interviews her about her experience in Room 18
she explains she never killed her husband Doug,
but only found him gouging his own eyes after taking a bathroom break
After everything Detective went through earlier, he believes her every word
From his phone, 40 minutes had passed from his timer,
and Doug's wife comments that her husband was punished for the horrible crimes he did to a child
From the past, Sandy weakly wore her engagement ring
Across the room, she saw her fiance, telling her to stay in bed and join him in the beyond
Sandy agreed and the ceiling pipes broke, releasing gas in the air
Ren's cigarette falls off his pocket,
and a single light would cause the whole place to burst into flames
Detective in the present arrives on time at Room 18, and immediately calls Sandy
He explains to her that she's innocent, and nothing will happen to her if she leaves the bed
Sandy protests that she killed her fiancé;
but Detective expounds that her fiance died protecting her,
and killing herself will hurt her loved ones, who want her to live fully
Sandy believes him and ends the call
She leaves the bed and exits the club at ease
The movie ends with the Van Meager bed still intact in Room 18
Detective believes he has solved the case, so he calls his partner
However, the partner is shocked to hear Detective's voice, and initially thinks it's a prank
Detective says he's in Room 18;
but when the partner says he's in the same room, realization strikes Detective,
and he checks the wooden chunk in his jacket, only to find it gone
He turns his back and sees the black man he killed
So Detective sits on the bed, imagines his daughter,
and shoots himself in the head, knowing he needs to pay for his sin
Detective lies dead, just like what his partner sees in his time
Days later, the 19 10 Van Meager bed is on sale in an auction,
and an elderly woman buys it for 14,000 dollars, despite its grimy past
