The Night Shift (2011)

- written August 5th, 2011

Summary: What if you could live forever? What if you had to spend that eternity stuck in a cemetery with only a limbless corpse for a friend, and cantankerous "residents" that were anything but resting in peace? That's the situation for Rue Morgan, night watchman extraordinaire, in this rollicking supernatural adventure-comedy. Rue, along with his buddy Herb, spends his nights watching out for zombies, and his days dreaming of a date with hard-nosed day-shifter, Claire. It's an okay eternity--until a scourge of paranormal occurrences leaves Rue not only watching the cemetery, but also watching his back! Based on the hit short film that critics have called "delightful", "charming", and "unapologetically goofy", "The Night Shift" is guaranteed to be the most fun you've ever had in a cemetery!           Overall: Although an indie low-budget film, the film is long on plot and long on story and unfortunately just a little too long for me. I did enjoy the acting, the uniqueness of the characters and the plot and the discussions everyone has. But it was really slow for me. Despite that, I’d easily recommend it for everyone to take their own shot with it. I really thought the cast did a nice job and kept the film as interesting as they could.           Comparison: Night Shift meets Cemetery Man
