Review of Under the Bed

I so badly wanted to like this film, as I thought it would finally convince children there could indeed be a monster under the bed! Unfortunately it was not the case. At first, the film only gives us bits and pieces to chew on, keeping you guessing. Then, all of a sudden, everything happens at once during the film's final moments. The film was not scary at all, and suffers from a lot of plot flaws. Where did the demon come from and why is it haunting the brothers? Why would they still sleep on the bed if the know the monster is indeed under the bed? Why is the demon so utterly passive for the first three quarters of the film? The demon haunted them years ago, as well, and their mother died attempting to save them? What happened to the demon thereafter and why is it back now? How can the father still not believe them? The father is also the most annoying character with the most deja vu attitude and dialogue I've seen. Nope, there are better films out there.
