Bed Rest

Daniel and Julie Rivers begin their journey as new parents by moving into a lakeside house in upstate New York. The couple is excited about the renovations and the prospect of welcoming their first child, providing a sense of hope and renewal.

During renovations, a construction worker finds an old bracelet in the house and mistakenly gives it to Julie. Intrigued by the vintage piece, Julie decides to keep the bracelet, igniting a series of mysterious events that follow.

While unpacking, Julie hears a child's whisper coming from down the hall that triggers her curiosity. Meanwhile, their cat Lou becomes agitated, hissing at a covered door, hinting at something unsettling lurking in the home.

Daniel excitedly shows Julie the nursery they prepared for their baby, highlighting all the high-tech items they purchased. This moment of joy, however, is overshadowed by the emotional tension simmering between them.

At an academic gala hosted by Dean Whittier, Julie tries to share that this pregnancy isn't their first, but Daniel cuts her off. Their conversation boomerangs back home, leading to a painful confrontation about their lost son Andrew.

After a distressing incident where Julie falls and injures herself, she awakens in a hospital. Dr. Meadows reassures her that both she and the baby are stable, though she must now adhere to strict bed rest.

Upon returning home, the couple grapples with the ramifications of the doctor's advice. Daniel reassures Julie while attempting to lift her spirits, yet the weight of her new limitations looms heavily over them.

As Julie remains confined to bed rest, eerie occurrences escalate, including ghostly laughter and disturbing reflections. This spirals her into anxiety as she fears for her unborn child amidst Daniel's skepticism.

Delmy Walker, the babysitter employed by Daniel, shares chilling tales of the house's past, including the tragedy that befell its previous occupants. This information deepens Julie's paranoia about a spirit seeking her baby.

As supernatural events intensify, Julie's mental state deteriorates. She becomes consumed by the desire to protect her unborn daughter from the malevolent spirit of Melandra, escalating tensions with Daniel.

Julie confronts the spirit of Melandra in a desperate bid for survival. This tumultuous encounter reveals deep-seated fears, culminating in a frantic battle for her child's life amidst a chaotic environment.

In the midst of the chaos, Julie goes into labor, bringing her newborn into a world fraught with darkness. Despite severe injuries, her sheer determination shines through as she confronts life and death head-on.

After giving birth, Julie experiences a poignant moment of release. She finds solace in the spirit world where she reunites with her lost son, Andrew, making a promise to continue caring for her family from beyond.

A year following the turmoil, Daniel is seen playing with their daughter, embodying hope and resilience. This heartwarming scene emphasizes the family's enduring love and the shadows cast by their past.
