Night Shift is fun and the setting and supporting cast give it a lot of character.

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.
