People gather at a split-level flat on a backstreet of Roppongi, Tokyo, men pay ¥20,000, women ¥1,000 and couples ¥5,000 apiece to spend the hours of midnight to 5 a.m. at a sex party. A moody Neet guy empties out his bank account for this night of pleasure, and a bespectacled college student who at first impresses as mousy and shy join the party. Presiding over this orgy are a jaded manager and bartender who explain and enforce three simple rules: Take showers prior to sex, use protection and respect the wishes of the women. Most dangerously, the Neet guy is falling quietly and hard for the student, who reveals herself as the horniest of all, while never quite breaking out of her shell.

Under Your Bed takes a more-creepy-less-sweet approach to the very similar situation in 3 Iron, but is very good nonetheless.
While 3 Iron is near dialogueless Under Your Bed is a lot of narration with occasional interactions. I love both films despite shipping the leads in 3 Iron while standoffishly.. understanding(?) the leads in Under Your Bed. Under Your Bed is certainly a movie to watch and appreciate from a good film perspective, not one to go into expecting to be rooting for your lead character. As long as you can realize that a film can be about something bad without promoting said bad thing, I think you’ll enjoy it.
