Night Shift

The acting and some elements are a little corny and cheap. HOWEVER, it's a fun horror film that has some twists, CREEPY parts and keeps you engaged the whole time.

Gwen picks up a one time cash job to take the night shift at an old motel, after not getting much sleep while moving cross country. It's a pretty dirty joint and ran down. She starts to see and experience a lot of creepy stuff, she starts to wonder if she's seeing things because she's sleep deprived. Things continue to get weirder, getting odd customers, phone calls, etc.

Definitely worth a watch if you're looking for something horror with a fun twist and a little dark humor thrown in.

Horror movie made in 2023. First of all, let me say that I liked it. I opened the movie without great expectations. The thriller elements were very good. The atmosphere was gloomy and creepy. Clichés were used beautifully. The story also made a great twist. It's a horror movie that I watched with interest recently and liked it.

The story takes place in a hotel on the road. A girl starts her night shift duty here. He works alone and witnesses many frightening things.

Compared to a lot of ridiculous horror movies, this movie really doesn't make you regret it.

There is no sexuality or nudity in the movie.

Being a predictable movie could be a good thing, if you are the "I told you so", kind of person when you are at the movies, that is...if your friends can stand you.

The thing here, is that everything has been seen in other movies, series, anthologies and that is because it's always entertaining.

Motels, Hotels, no matter how big or small, expensive or cheap have that creepy atmosphere that makes your imagination run wild, just thinking about what is going on next door, could be exhilarating.

This movie is not Psycho, or The Shining, but it's entertaining and fun to watch.

A lot of plot holes, but I liked it.

I was prepared to waste an hour and a half on a Saturday night with this one but it turned out this was pretty good for about two thirds of the film and easily worth six stars (or more). Solid acting by Phoebe Tonkin, Lamorne Morris, Madison Hu, and well, pretty much the whole cast. Everyone played their part with gusto on conviction. There really was a perfect balance between humor, suspense and apprehension throughout the film. My reason for 3 stars is 'the big twist' in the story. The last few minutes were a complete disaster IMHO and although the directors thought they were being clever, let's face it, we are not that dumb.

Seems and feels like low budget horror complete with a low budget plot. The entire movie is driven by a girl with a pretty face that walks around being frightened by everything. There's no real horror in the movie. It's more like a low budget jump scare slasher flick. It could have been better but it wasn't.

A short paragraph says enough about this film but since that's not meeting the quota let me add in what else is wrong with the movie. The main character meets a girl staying at the hotel whom she befriends. This girl is supposed to be a teenager but she looks to be around the same age as the lead actor which is confusing when she talks to her like a child.
