Between working on this year’s Scream (watch it HERE) and next year’s Scream 6, Melissa Barrera also collaborated with the Scream producers at Project X for the supernatural thriller Bed Rest, which is set to be released through the Tubi streaming service on December 7th. One week out from that date, a trailer for the film has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.
The feature directorial debut of screenwriter Lori Evans Taylor, the film has the following synopsis: After years of struggling to start a family, Julie Rivers (Barrera) is pregnant again and moving into a new home with her husband as they embrace a fresh start. Upon being ordered to mandatory bed rest, Julie begins to slowly unravel as she suffers through the monotony and anxiety of her new constraints. Soon, terrifying ghostly experiences in the home begin to close in on Julie, stirring up her past demons and causing others to question her mental stability. Trapped and forced to face her past and the supernatural, Julie fights to protect herself and her unborn baby.
Taylor and Barrera produced Bed Rest alongside Project X’s William Sherak, James Vanderbilt, and Paul Neinstein. BondIt Media Finance provided the funding. Sam Brown, Marisa Moreno, and Alexandria Martin oversaw the project for STXfilms.
Barrera had this to say about the Tubi distribution deal: “As a first-time producer, it is my profound pleasure to be partnering with Tubi to bring Bed Rest to a savvy and engaged audience. While on the surface Bed Rest is a horror film, it is a story that will resonate deeply with anyone who’s experienced grief and been haunted by loss. Lori Evans Taylor has created a deeply emotional journey for audiences, and I’m grateful to my partners at Project X and STX for bringing us together to share this story with the world.“
