We all crave escapism right now. What better form is there of escapism that a schlocky horror movie? "Day Shift" makes the perfect film to help you get through these dark times. It's funny, fun, and filled with cheap thrills. It's also quite timely. The movie takes place in a world of vampires who have emerged from their shadows to live peacefully with us. Jody, played by Vanessa Hudgens, is quickly shown that not all vampires are equal. Jody must determine which one is good or bad. Along the way, Jody must face corrupt cops, nosy neighbors and many other obstacles. It's a wild ride from start to finish, and just the kind of mind-numbing entertainment we need right now. Get "Day Shift," and watch it on Netflix. You won't regret it.Bud begins the film by increasing his vampire hunting and earning $10,000 in less than one week. He is a Los Angeles pool cleaner from the lower classes who goes on a quest for vampires in order to steal their teeth and sell them for money. Bud was mentored in the vampire hunters’ union by Big John Elliott, aka Snoopdogg. Bud was expelled for rule violations and disciplinarian measures. Bud takes up vampire hunting to make $10,000 in less than one week. Because of his efforts, he can re-join the union again and earn the respect from his mentor.
Bud is completely unaware of the plot that is being worked out in the City of Angels. Audrey San Fernando (Karla Sauza) is the public face and owner of a rapidly expanding real estate business. Despite her centuries-old age, she looks stunning in the well-fitted power suits she wears. "Day Shift" ("The Shift") isn't particularly satirical or subversive, and it doesn't appear to intend to be, but the decision to make the film's most terrifying vampire a real estate mogul is a fairly nice joke. Audrey hopes to create a safe place for bloodsuckers and vampires by purchasing several properties in Bud's neighbourhood. He is the reason she becomes obsessed after she learns that he killed an elderly vampire and pulled her hair. It's a fun movie that's not for everyone, but you should still check it out if Karla is interested in seeing Karla Souza differently.
I'm not sure if Day Shift is a great movie but it's definitely entertaining. It falls into the trashy category, using cliches/tricks and lots of placeholder speech. It is however, well constructed. Every member of cast tries to create the illusion they are familiar with the joke. They also try to make the situation seem routine despite the fact that it is violently absurd. While this is not a great example, it's still a very well-constructed one. Day Shift, a silly, fun movie, is worth a look.
Day Shift is a movie that will leave you on your edge. You will be hooked on this action-packed, gore-filled thrill ride. The first half of the movie is full of familiar scenes that will have you feeling like you've seen it all before. However, don't be misled by the predictable nature of this movie. JJ Perry does a fantastic job of keeping things new and exciting by drawing from greats such the Exorcist, Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead films, as well as 1980s Hong Kong martial arts pictures. This film will have you on your edge. Every battle is flawlessly executed. One of my favorite visual moments is the drone shot at the beginning of the movie. Day Shift deserves to be seen by any action movie fan.
When Audrey and Bud start to share their stories, the movie starts to feel solid. The film's perfect balance is achieved when Bud and Audrey's storylines intersect. They fight zombies in a graveyard using motorbikes, and it's just incredible. The best thing about this movie is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It is obvious that the movie was made with a lot fun by its creators. Dead Seven is a movie that has it all: humor, violence, and just plain crazy.
Foxx is excellent in every role he does, including "Day Shift." In "Day Shift," Foxx plays a sardonic and action-oriented character in the same vein as Arnold Schwarzenegger. His character is a classic example of action film. He is a badass who can kill 10 foes before they can draw their pistols from their holsters. Foxx is a straight man, who is sometimes confused by the unfolding events. This portrayal is a great example of the classic action movie genre. Foxx is an outstanding actor, clearly enjoying his role.
Seth, played by Dave Franco, is a young vampire hunter. But he soon discovers that he can't be trusted until he faces some real vampires. He soon realizes this is a tough job and that he may not have the courage he thought. He has the help and support of his mentor Snoop Dogg who plays a character very similar to Kris Kristofferson from the "Blade" films. Snoop provides great comedy relief and (posted) looks amazing in Western gear. Seth becomes the vampire hunter he's always been meant to be.
