Bind, Bed, Bury

Warning: Spoilers
The film opens with Beth (Devin Cecchetto) performing a dark occult ritual which ends in her suicide. Her five somewhat estranged college friends come to her small town of Cedar Grove for her funeral. They stay at her place known as The Gref House which looks like "GRIEF" with the gate closed. They are hosted by Beth's Aunt Stephanie (Tanya Clarke) who gets them buzzed. They stay for the reading of the will and discovered they all inherited her house. Stephanie is empathic and tells Grant (Jedidiah Goodacre) he has the gift also and was Beth's love. Beth left this group in college when she walked in on four of them, including Grant having an orgy. Paige (Maxine Denis) was the only one in this group of Five that didn't participate.

The film was decent. I didn't connect with the actors who lacked fire and emotion. There are flashbacks to explain the twists which were pretty decent. The film shows blood splatter, but not a graphic kill. Women make love with their undergarments on.

Guide: F-word. Sex. No nudity.

Blame It On The Weed, Bruh.
meddlecore19 May 2023
When a film is described as a TubiTV original...you know it's probably going to be bad.

So I fully expected this was going to be much worse than it actually was.

Especially considering the title, and introduction of the film.

Plotwise, we have a group of friends returning to a house, where their friend killed herself in a demonic ritual, after having a mental breakdown, when her boyfriend convinces her to participate in an orgy (when she wanted to wait to have sex when they were married).

With, whatever dark force she unleashed, on the prowl, to reap vengeance, in her name.

This demon proceeds to possess his female friends, bang him, and then kill them...as sacrifices meant to bring back his once beloved deceased lover.

It turns out, both individuals came from a family of witches...whom shared a connection as partners in a past life.

Whose union has been foretold to bring forth the antichrist.

The whole thing is rather simply shot.

Which, for a TubiTV original, works in it's favour, as opposed to detriment.

No doubt, it's still a pretty lame film.

But I, personally, expected it to be way worse.

So colour me pleasantly surprised.

Because, while the acting is rather mediocre.

The storyline is actually not too bad.

With a couple twists that actually work in the end.

Thus, as far as films that end up going straight to TubiTV...this is among one of the better films of the class.

3.5 out of 10.

Watchable...
paul_haakonsen13 June 2023
As I stumbled upon the 2023 TV horror movie, of course I opted to sit down and watch it. I do enjoy horror movies and have so for nearly 40 years. Sure, I had never heard about this TV movie from Tubi, nor do I necessarily think that what airs on Tubi is subpar contents.

Writers Ian Carpenter and Aaron Martin put together a fair enough script and storyline for the movie. It wasn't the most scary of stories, but it definitely was watchable for what it turned out to be.

The acting performances in the movie were adequate. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble, but the actors and actresses carried the movie well enough with their performances.

Visually then this movie was actually adequate enough. It wasn't a movie that made a whole lot use of special effects, but whatever effects where present certainly were fair enough. So the movie is more of a narrative-driven horror movie than a jump scare driven one.

However, I have to say that for a long-time horror fan such as myself, then this 2023 TV movie was like a stroll in the park. The movie didn't come off as being overly scary, but it had the atmosphere working to its advantage.

Director Caroline Labrèche delivered a horror movie that proved to be adequate for a single viewing. There wasn't enough contents to the storyline or script to support multiple viewing though.

My rating of this 2023 TV movie lands on a five out of ten stars.

Just stop
haskel-7295113 April 2023
Seriously. Tubi, we need to talk. You need to stop with the whole "Tubi originals" thing. They're bad. Really bad. Laughably bad. Terror Train was an insult to the original, but it was better than this. This is what happens when a cheap as it gets production company makes a movie so bad Lifetime Movie Network doesn't want it. Noy one thing about this is adequate: the script is eyeroll inducingly poor, the acting is as wooden as the lumber section at Lowe's, and the director mails it in. Who could blame her, really? The first two acts are quite poor but the real craptactular is saved for act three, which features some of the mist hilariously inept makeup effects of all time. Avoid.

As bad as The Room but not funny
mikebee-1289314 April 2023
The writers of this movie should not be allowed to ride a movie ever ever again. This movie is just as bad as the room, but it is completely unentertaining. I would only recommend this movie to my greatest enemy so that they can suffer as I have suffered. I'm gonna be this bad comes but once in a lifetime and I'm sure the people involved are going to be the ones trying to up the score on this. This is Batman V superman bad I don't think the screen writers have ever left their parents basement. People did not talk like this. All the characters are so annoying and you just want them all to die. This movie is an abomination of Cinema.

The plot makes no sense
echaczyk19 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The girl commits suicide only to be reincarnated at the end? Suicide, as an act of revenge, just because her friends and her boyfriend have an orgy caused by a demon she summoned up? All the people arrive by bus even though one of the characters is rich and could probably afford a car. And the reason they can't leave the town is because they keep missing the bus. When the characters find human and animal bones in the attic, they talk themselves out of telling the police. And in the next scene when they search for a bus, to leave town, and see a police officer, they still don't say anything. A questionable woman, who they have never met, offers them some marijuana joints and tells them that there is something special about them, the characters still smoke them even though some of them have been seeing apparitions of the dead girl.

I wanted to throw a rubber brick at my television every time the characters did some IDIOTIC, illogical thing. I blame the juvenile writing for this awful movie. The direction is good considering the bad script. The acting is okay. But this movie just doesn't make much sense.

MFK
kosmasp25 April 2023
Funny - my name is Kosmas and I did a short movie called MFK - the K standing for my name, the other two letters ... well you can figure that out yourself I assume! That said, no pun intended. Also I'd like to believe that while the cinematography is way better here, I did an overall better job, when it comes to suspense and story and characters.

But let's leave that aside, if you like horror movies, low budget ones at that, you may find quite a few things you will like here. Acting is ok or decent, the story easy to follow. The twists interesting but predictable - especially towards the end. Will it be enough for you? That's up to you to decide ...

Dump ...C***...Movie
thespartanwrestler21 May 2023
That's 1 hour and 30 minutes I'll never get back.

I can only pity the director, who did her best with what she had to build on - that being a poorly written (and unfinished) synopsis. However, we've seen this genre of camp 'horror' SO many times that the ending could be turned into a game in itself: 'Which of 100 monkeys on typewriters can come up with ANYTHING to add an actual conclusion to this dire excuse for a movie?' Sorry, but no self-respecting B-movie fan would get a kick out of this. It's not even worth a spoiler ... They haven't put anything IN this to spoil.

Acting ... Great (except the stereotype-aunt).

Directing ... She did her best with what she had.

Effects ... (available from any joke shop).

To paraphrase the title ... ' Avoid, avoid, AVOID!

It like they pulled tropes out of a hat
oxylepy2 November 2023
The lighting isn't bad, which is normally why I give such low ratings. In this case it's more like they had a bucket filled with penny actors that they grabbed a few out of, a hat full of tropes that they grabbed out a handfull from, a direct out of college director, and a dash of taking themselves too seriously. It's quality is on par with the fifth 'direct to VHS' in a franchise.

But, at the end of the day I wanted to watch a horror movie named * Marry Kill, and this was pretty close. Plus it got my wife to keep saying a name from Supernatural in a southern accent, so that was entertaining.

Not That Bad
ladymidath24 June 2023
It is a Tubi original so it's going to be along the lines of a Lifetime movie, scary but not gory, a hint of sex but not soft core porn. The acting is okay, nothing really bad but nothing really outstanding either. It is a solid little horror movie that delivers what it promises. The story is q pretty interesting one with a bit of a twist at the end, The one thing about Tubi originals is that the production values are good, they have a budget but they are middle of the road movies, just there to give some light entertainment, nothing off-putting or controversial. The cast did their job and there were a few genuinely creepy moments which was nice. It's an okay movie, not much violence and the blood is kept to a minimum and if that is what you like you might enjoy this one.

Not great, but not as bad as some reviews suggest.
buckybowen040968-112 June 2023
Let us start with the bad and then move on to the good! This offering brings the usual need for suspension of disbelief; due more to stupid decisions being made by the characters rather than anything having to do with the subject matter.

Did it bring anything new to the screen? NO. Was the storyline anything amazing or even interesting? NO. It was definitely a small screen offering; lower budget, lower expectations. Absolutely nothing that would be greenlit for an actual theatrical run.

There really was no cool backstory to lead us into what was going on. It unfolds in a fairly chronological order, letting us in on what exactly is going on by the end.

Now for the good! After all that was stated above, I have to say, it was surprising well acted! Some were better than others, but all did a solid job with the material thay were given. Make of that what you will. Also, I found the directing, editing (for the most part), cinematography, and pace, to be fairly well done.

In short, it was a solid effort even if nothing new or noteworthy came out. I really expected to give up or start hitting fast forward within the first twenty minutes. I was surprised that It kept me interested enough to watch from start to finish.
