The Night Shift

I saw this movie for free (on a Roku channel). Description made it sound like it might be good. Nope. Very boring. Nothing really happens in this film. Seems like it probably started out as a 5-minute short film project. Should've stayed that way. Acting, cinematography, etc. strictly amateur. Not worth watching.

I'm going to assume everyone who had a hand with this piece of junk are the people that 5 stared this absolute rubbish! Oh my, where to begin! As a person who has a collection of 3,200 horror movies i watch quite a few horror flicks but rarely write reviews myself. But in spite of watching one of the worst movies i've probably seen in the last ten years i had to save a few poor saps from spending money on this absolute piece of crap. Basically we have a 63 minute movie involving a security guard guarding an empty house for the night. From running back and forth through the house to answer a ringing phone at times and hiding in the closet from a supposed unarmed woman and a man in a mask even though the security guard is armed with a loaded gun. I managed to dose off 3 different times during my watch with this movie, finally just to fast forward through the last ten minutes and to toss this movie in the trash can. Couldn't even get myself to add this to my ongoing collection, not even worth it. I'm pretty sure someone and their friends literally made this movie overnight in 8 hours in the comfort of their own home. Oh, and to mention the "supposed" soundtrack, which i caught one song at the beginning of the movie.... and then.... where was the rest? Honestly who cares though, this movie was GARBAGE! All you horror movie fans, you've been warned!

Extremely low quality - with no evidence of a budget to speak of. You could probably watch this entire film on fast-forward and not miss anything. That's because there's not much going on here. Action is almost ZERO, and the dialog is VERY unsophisticated and child-like; especially when the main character talks to himself, as if the moviegoer is a child watching a program like Blues Clues.

To be perfectly honest, watching this movie is like watching porn actors trying to create meaningful dialog. soooo slooooowwww. Hokie as if it were created by 14- year-olds with a camera. No meaningful cinematography, horrible lighting ... just ugh... The fake "evil" laughing... I simply cannot relate to what's considered entertainment these days. So as to not violate the "terms" of this website (which is almost impossible while trying to be honest about this film), I will only say that, with respect to those involved, I'm pretty sure this film won't make anyone's career go in the right direction. I tried so hard to be "nice", but there is simply nothing positive about this "creation"... unless you like soft porn; you get treated to a couple of minutes of that... but you could watch plenty of other good movies to actually enjoy better sex scenes and dialog/action/horror as well. There is no clever twist, and nothing to really "spoil" here; this piece of... "art" does just fine on its own with spoiling your night. The real "horror" here is that this film was actually produced and furnished to the public. Viewer beware!

I think it's better than a lot of reviewers have scored it but I don't have a problem with people sayin it sucked. I didn't read other reviews just the scores. The huge problem with this is every line uttered every movement every emotion of the lead is obvious that he's trying really hard to act nothing he does is natural. You almost see the thought bubbles " now I get mad " " now I'm scared" but the dream part is the worst he loudly says I'm going insane and it is incredibly forced. Every problem with this movie begins and ends with the lead. It takes talent to do nearly every scene and this man was not up for the task. Part of this could be that much of the dialogue when he's alone seems to be improvised. With that his weak acting is made even more obvious. Maybe if he's acting in a group his lack of talent is less obvious.
