Melissa Barrera (Scream) star and producer of Bed Rest joins us to chat about taking on the role of producer for the first time, spending most of the shoot in bed, the hysterical female trope, and more.

Bed Rest follows pregnant Julie Rivers (Barrera), as she and her husband move into a new home to embrace a fresh start. After being ordered to mandatory bed rest, Julie begins to slowly unravel as she suffers through the monotony and anxiety of her new constraints. As if that weren't enough, terrifying ghostly experiences in the home are added to the mix, as they begin to close in on Julie, past demons are stirred up, and others question her mental stability. Trapped and forced to face her past, and the supernatural, Julie fights to protect herself and her unborn baby.

The feature not only marks Barrera's first time producing but also Final Destination 6 writer Lori Evans Taylor's feature directorial debut. Take a look at our full interview below.


Bed Rest is now streaming exclusively on Tubi.
