Night Shift

A sturdy, entertaining late-night watch.

The only thing holding the film back is the final act. It’s relatively clever, but the only aspect of Night Shift that invites a greater analysis with some of the plot holes created for its payoff.

Night Shift is a cozy horror flick, one that feels familiar, but it also works as a show of skill for first-time directors, the China Brothers.

... bears a clear signifier that The China Brothers are willing to go to filthy places that no all-purpose disinfectant can clean.

The material feels like a short story and quickly evaporates from the brain. But it’s a diverting late-night watch that kept me engaged for its brief runtime and produced a few jolts.

Lamorne Morris is the VIP of a movie that doesn't ask too much of its audience. It's the perfect movie if you're looking for some mindless fun or having friends over and want to put on something that doesn't require your full attention.

[Phoebe] Tonkin’s unwavering commitment and the uncertainty of what (or who) we can trust keeps the film from ever succumbing to its own ambition.

The China Brothers impress in this energetic sleepless night.

It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it is a solid work with only a few missteps.
