Last Shift was a decent horror film, albeit littered with horror clichés and brought down by an abhorrent, semi-confusing ending. Worth watching for the great one-woman performance by Juliana Harkavy and the various long-take scenes. And some really good scares.
I got to 40 minutes in this movie and I couldn't watch it any longer. That's how painful it was. It was annoying to watch. Why didn't the mystery caller just call 911 instead of the old police station? The vengeful spirits of the cult members return from the dead to kill off the daughter of a policeman that they killed when he tried to arrest them. Why would they want to come back just to kill the daughter of a cop they didn't even know properly? The main actress is good enough but the crazy cult members are too over the top crazy in their acting. Things keep moving and making noises in the station which doesn't build suspense, it gets tiresome very quickly
Directed by Anthony DiBlasi (Dread), Last Shift is a well-written and decent horror movie.Revolving around newcomer officer, Jessica Loren (Juliana Harkavy) who starts her first night shift in a police station that is basically abandoned but needing "security". She is greeted and soon left alone by her rather intense commanding offer and strange occurrences begin to unfold as the night progresses. The movie is pretty fast paced, there's a load of jumps scares and it has some pretty creepy moments. I'd recommended it.
This movie served no purpose for me, it had no new ideas, no appealing visuals, no tension because, there was barely anything happening. Having a thin plot can work in a horror-movie, sadly its just one scary thing after the other, which I started to predict after a while. There is only from time to time a thin slice of plot and a very cliché one at that. About 1 hour into the movie I even guessed the very unsatisfying ending.All this is quite sad, because I enjoyed the set-up to this movie, but as soon as the horror sequences start, its beginning to fall apart. They just don't work out the way they should...If I have anything good to say about this movie, its the main actor and although I said i found the visuals unappealing, they were well done from a technical standpoint.
