Bed Rest is a 2022 American supernatural horror film written and directed by Lori Evans Taylor.

A university professor, Daniel Rivers, and his wife Julie are an expectant couple who are moving into an old but fancy lakeside house in upstate New York.

One of the workers the Rivers hired to remodel the house hands Julie an old bracelet he found while doing maintenance work.

When she goes to investigate, she's startled by Daniel, who brings her into the nursery and excitedly shows her the crib and baby monitor in the corner, which can record video, and is connected to a microphone.

Julie is upset with Daniel for not being honest about the loss of their son, and while heading upstairs, she is startled at the sight of a little boy, resulting in a nasty fall.

As a precautionary measure, Dr. Meadows places Julie on mandatory bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy.

Daniel returns home and scolds Julie for being out of bed for too long upon seeing a UPS box in the bedroom, deducing that she must have gone downstairs to retrieve it.

The couple had been on their way to the hospital to have their fourth child when their car skidded on some ice and crashed, taking their unborn daughter’s life.

On the last day of her bed rest, Julie sees Andrew once again using the nursery camera, and asks him if Melandra Kinsey is the person who wants her baby.

Julie is horrified when she learns from the archive's response that Melandra drowned her three sons in the bathtub before taking her own life.

When Delmy re-enters the room with Daniel, Julie begs to be taken to the hospital because she believes Melandra's spirit is in the house and wants their baby.

Julie gives birth to her daughter in the tub, and Melandra appears in the bathroom, attempting to suck the life out of the baby.

While attempting to fight back, Julie realizes that the floor underneath the tub is made of rotten wood.

Julie then sees her own corpse amongst the wreckage of the bathtub before a little boy’s ghost appears and guides her to a room where Andrew is waiting for her in a crib.

The movie ends a year later, with Daniel playing with his now one-year-old daughter and Lou the cat, before Julie enters and joins in on the fun.
