Ayoung woman gets a job in a shabby motel when ghosts starts to haunt her.

This had potent2bu no, the directors had to pull a tired old twist wich I saw coming before the movie even started to get spooky.

The girl is a serial killer wich was obvious when the news said a killer had escape.

She acted to wierd to be innocent.

Now, for once why cant we get a straìght up ghost story without silly twists. And the ending was totally idiotic. Id rather watch Psycho.

Missed opportunity...again. This is why modern movies suck.

Also lots of jumpscares. It wasnt totally rotten but nothing id never watch again..

I love indie films, this one started off pretty good, got hooked on the storyline, the actors were good, this actor Lamorne Morris was really believable and I figured the production for this film was decent.

What threw me off abit was that the plot seemed to be going into a supernatural direction yet kept introducing new characters halfway that didn't seem related to what I initially thought was the main plot. This was when I knew the conclusion of this movie was going to take a left turn and have some unexpected plot twist at the end.

This movie was a mixed bag of nuts, there were some scares, comedy, thriller elements all rolled into one. It's not terrible but the writing wasn't cohesive enough.

Surprisingly good horror flick that keeps you guessing until you get the twist about an hour in.

At times the movie makes you think it is a ghost movie, a low budget Shining and/or a, not so much a demonic Rosemary's Baby more a sort of Rosemary's Motel.

The direction is ok, the story is good, it is well made and has good production values.

Phoebe Tonkin is great as the new temporary hotel night manager and the supporting cast does a great job. The obnoxious, married couple is a real treat.

At times it seems to have an almost light hearted, humorous, quirky feel to it which eventually plays out in the ending.

Just a question. Was the ending real or in her mind?

You have to be kidding me to think a girl who is skinny as a tooth pick is killing people especially 2 grown as men at the same ! Give me a break ! It had its moments when her first 3 victims who were her mother and sisters were haunting her when she first got to the motel ! However, when I started to know that she was the killer it went down hill from there ! I mean fast down hill ! To believe that a woman who weighs about 98lbs soak and wet is killing people especially men who weight twice her size is just a joke all by its self ! Then she just stays at the hotel and becomes the owner out of nowhere at the end of the movie ? Unbelievable ! Don't bother watching this pathetic movie!!!!

I saw Night Shift, starring Phoebe Tonkin-Babylon, The Originals_tv; Lamorne Morris-Bloodshot, New Girl_tv; Madison Hu-The Boogeyman, Voyagers and Patrick Fischler-Barry_tv, Lost_tv.

This is a better than average horror film directed by the China Brothers-this is the first movie they have directed together. This movie is not to be confused with the 1982 Night Shift, which was a comedy with Henry Winkler & Michael Keaton. It's totally unrelated. Phoebe is starting her first night as a night manager at the All Tucked Inn, a motel run by Lamorne. The motel is in a remote area, run down, rat infested and it is presumed to be haunted. There is even a sink hole in the swimming pool. The motel guests include Madison, who is running away from home, and Patrick and his wife that just want to do some kinky stuff for about an hour, before going home after leaving a boring party. Phoebe starts seeing apparitions and hearing strange noises, which doesn't help matters when Phoebe learns that a serial killer just escaped police custody and is in the area. The film does have a good twist near the end.

It's not rated but it does contain bloody violence, language, sexual content-no nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 22 minutes.

I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to seeing more films by the China Brothers. I would buy it on DVD.

This movie isnt for everyone, but it checks a lot of boxes. I'm glad I went into this with no expectations.

There are some role reversals and clever commentary on the genre as a whole. The acting is bad, then good, then great. The film isn't scary but it IS creepy. Despite the cliches I still got adrenaline pumping in some of the scenes.

The director knew how to hold a shot. It's funny in a tongue in cheek way, but never so offensive that it takes you out of the movie.

The lighting is good and the set is simple but effective. Costumes were a bit on the weak end but they get the job done. As far as I can tell little to no CGI was used which is refreshing.

Plot sometimes dragged but eventually reached a crescendo where. I never got bored.

If you are on the fence, just watch it.
