The Nightshifter

Interesting movie that goes off the beaten track. Good scenario and good acting ! Warning : some very gore scenes...

This was much scarier than la Llorona that was made earlier this year. I really didn't know what to expect when I started watching this but I was pretty impressed. It was quite scary! Original

I happened to find "Morto Não Fala" (aka "The Nightshifter") by sheer luck. And seeing that it was a horror movie, of course I had to sit down and watch it. How could I not, when I am a life-long horror fan?

This 2018 Brazilian horror movie was actually a nice surprise of a movie, as it turned out to be rather interesting. And it also had a very interesting and captivating storyline, so I was caught up early on in the movie.

The acting in the movie was good, and I always enjoy watching movies with no familiar faces on the cast list, so I was in for a treat here.

"The Nightshifter" does happen to be sort of generic, in terms of how the storyline and plot is constructed and built, for better or worse. But still, regardless, then I will say that the movie was actually quite enjoyable.

There wasn't really a whole lot of scary things going on in the movie, but director Dennison Ramalho was good at setting the atmosphere and building it up to the point where the audience becomes involved in the storyline.

All in all, "The Nightshifter" is an enjoyable movie, especially if you enjoy horror movies. So if you have no quarrel with non-English language movies, and if you have the chance, then do yourself the favor to sit down and watch "The Nightshifter", because it is quite entertaining.

The Nightshifter (2018)

A man who works at a morgue can communicate with the dead. One of the stiffs tells him something private and he decides to use it against someone who wronged him, with dire results. The cool part about this movie is the CGI effect used to make the dead bodies talk. It's nothing spectacular, but it does add to the overall unreality of the situation. Add some decent plot twists and an engaging enough story and this one is highly watchable. It does have its reaching moments though. Sometimes the scenes feel a little forced, like 'here is something creepy for you to be scared of,' but the film makes up for that with realistic dead morgue bodies, complete with cut open chest cavities, heads in jars, and various body parts laying around. It looks like the morgue from hell. A solid film about what happens when we take the law of the dead into our own living hands. 8 out of 10 stars.

Simply put, a very well done movie. The script is consistent, the history flows nicelly and the plot is good. Much better than this Annabelle/conjuring movies.
