This is a real and honest review. A plot similar to this was done a few years ago in America but not in a hotel. It was some sort of factory or building with security guards. Then yet ANOTHER was filmed -- also in America -- featuring a police precinct that was about to close down and one cop had to watch it over night.

Both movies were VERY similar to this.

So the basic plot was rather familiar to me.

Like the other two movies, the action unfolds very slowly. That doesn't make it a bad movie. It's just not the normal slasher flick.

The main female character is supposed to be American but she both looks and periodically sounds Irish.

What id I like about this movie? I actually liked the slow exposition. It made it feel like a real story. I also like the fact that there was no contrived horror music in the back ground. So sick of that.

I'll admit the movie get a little goofy just after teh mid point, but by then I was too invested to not want to see how it turned out.

It definitely has a bit of a dumb ending however

For anyone that wants to make movies, Nightshift is a must see. Not for it's lush style, great dialogue, fabulous production design, nor for the compelling performances given by the players. It doesn't have any of that. What it does have though, is poor production design, continuity gaps you can drive a space shuttle through, and writing that's so bad, it's amazing anyone had the nerve to show it.

Well, this is bad.

Did I say bad? I meant, unfathomably bad, as in you simply will not believe how incomprehensibly dreadful this utter garbage is. So void of any humor, wit, charm, heart, or talent whatsoever, if you actually pay money to see this craparama, you will most likely be enraged....at yourself

Effects are stupid, acting is stupid, story is stupid, guess the only fans are the people who made it. Do not waste your time or money on this movie.

So many crap movies get a huge budget and people like this writer and director get no budget but have talent.

Sure the plot has been done before but what plot hasn't and its fairly obvious who the killer is but the movie, rather smartly, keeps the why to itself.

The acting is good, the script is fine and for the obviously limited budget this stands out.

The idea is well executed and the twists, while definitely guessable are more down to how many movies of this type that you've seen.

The notion that there's more at work than the killer killing because he's a psycho is briefly mentioned, as is the leads fear of the dark and a few other unexplored bits and bobs make this a sort of missed opportunity.

People claiming its too complicated or hard to follow are either too busy on their phones or some special kind of daft. It's not hard to follow at all.

This shows great promise and someone give this guy a bigger budget. He deserves it.

This movie was soooo bad!

Not from the characters, but the acting.

It was slow and unfathomably bad.

Absolutely surprising given the ratings some amateurs have left, don't trust its overall score, its a slow burner granted, but its a good plot, a good setting and the acting is good too! You can tell everyone involved was dedicated to this film. Definitely worth the watch.

I liked this because it's a bit different to current horror movies. Ok the acting isn't Oscar worthy but the cast hold it together pretty well. The story moves along in a nice creepy way with enough twists and turns in the plot to keep you guessing. If you like atmospheric horror this is worth a watch.

Good start... Then its a bit slow!

Worth watching and I really enjoyed it in parts of course.

Its not as bad as some are saying in my opinon.

I have seen a lot lot worse than this film!

Nighshift starts off slow and ordinary until a quarter into the movie. The pace picks up when strange events propels Amy to believe that what is happening is a matter of life and death. I am glad I continued on with the movie as the beginning was painful, but then the movie redeems itself to a nice twist in the end. Movie is not for everybody, but if you like dark slow, atmospheric movies, think triangle, then this is for you.

I love it! It has a good plot good ending and good turn of events. Its a good movie with a low budget henceforth underrated but it's really good. Highly recommended!

There is something special here with this film. It's an entertaining slow burner that keeps you guessing. As far as low budget horrors goes this is a hidden gem. I saw somewhere that this was made for 10k??? Very impressive movie, great cast, great direction and satisfying ending

I really enjoyed this film! Wasn't expecting the outcome to be what it was at the end and enjoyed it throughout. Thought it was good acting. Not sure why there are bad reviews on it really I thought it was great.

I appreciate the simplicity of the movie.

I also appreciate how the movie gets more thrilling as it proceeds.

This is not horror, but it is entertaining.
