A dark solid wicked black comedy has been born, with inquests of deep desperation and twist to stay boyant in the water. that combined with a very unusual choice of score, rythmic opera made the madness even deeper like a turmoil of hell.
its about organ trafficking at a hospital in usa, the nurse and her in law cousin with connections to the mob , supply them with fresh kidney for a hand of doe. one night suddenly a kidneys goes missing when delivery is done, and the saga tell you the chaotic brawl to get a new one within 2 hours.
its a lowbudget film, but extremely well made. just some technical glitches here and there, with the darn daylight. its blood and gore, its witty caracters are so well acted by the small cast, and the production design along with good direction, makes this a charade at level of the british ''faulty towers'' but far more bloody and messy.
it aint a horror movie, ita a bloody comedy, and if you like one brain and a lot of brainless caracter in one go, then its a recommend from the grumpy old man

It's surely worth a watch.
Not exactly the greatest bit of cinema but believe they really accomplished what they set out to make.
12 Hour Shift
This was a kinda horror farce from the start, it was low budget, there is a lot of blood, and overall I enjoyed it.
There was something quirky and different with the acting and the central roles were very funny.
Overall I giving this a 6/10 for turning out to be unexpectedly good fun.

12 Hour Shift starts off slow and disjointed, but fires on all cylinders about 25 minutes in. The lead characters in the film aren't meant to be likable (heck, they all deal in organ trafficking!) - that's what we come to terms with, in those initial scenes. Along with the plot's overall absurdity. Things do get comically chaotic thereafter, with ample doses of blood-spilling. Bettis (as a nurse with drug addiction) remains a badass throughout, even when her supposed family members get involved in life-threatening situations.
It was Chloe Farnworth (as organ trafficker Regina), however, who wholly caught my attention. She is the epitome of sassy, psychotic, and mindless in the film; a little like Harley Quinn with a penchant for gore. Every scene featuring her is quirky, exciting, and comes with a surreal sense of humor. I'd love to see her get more work. The good thing with the humor in 12 Hour Shift is that it pops up when you least expect it to - Kit Williamson and Nikea Gamby-Turner earn some points in that department.
The climactic finale gets a little messy, with too many characters and the idiocy exponentially higher. 12 Hour Shift makes for a fun little watch to kick off the first weekend of Halloween month, especially if you'd want to keep things light yet bloody.

Plot
Over the course of one 12-hour shift at an Arkansas hospital in 1999, a junkie nurse (Angela Bettis), her scheming cousin (Chloe Farnworth), and a group of black-market organ-trading criminals (Mick Foley, David Arquette, Dusty Warren) start a heist that could lead to their imminent demises.
Cast
Consistently demure Angela Bettis teams with David Arquette, while we get a small role from wrestling legend Mick Foley.
Verdict
12 Hour Shift was a recommendation, truth be told it would be way down the line when I would have watched this otherwise if at all.
A thriller rather than a horror it's a rather tame little number that stays within the lines and at no point becomes even remotely adventurous.
Bettis plays quite a different character than usual and I wasn't keen on that, nor was I keen on her character at all. In fact that's one of the biggest problems with the film, who am I supposed to be rooting for here? Not a decent person among them.
It plods along like if Lifetime made horror movies and managed to keep my attention just enough but not enough to make it memorable or to truly say I enjoyed it.
Very distinctly average stuff, not good, not bad, just 86 minutes of meh.
Rants
Is it wrong that I wanted to see more Foley in this? Truth be told his presence wasn't really needed after his scene but it was just nice to see him in this film despite very much playing a character it's hard to believe if you're familiar with the guy in real life. I'd welcome a sequel if only to have him as the antagonist. More Mick Foley is always going to be a good thing.
Breakdown + Chloe Farnworth was great here + David Arquette was believable in his role
