The Nightshifter

The acting is excellent, the settings are very good, the music is atmospheric, but the CG effects really suck.

This is a low cost horror movie about a mortician who talks to the recently deceased. He then breaks unwritten rules regarding the secrets of the dead, which brings nefarious consequences.

The movie is satisfyingly scary, with good amounts of gore, jump scares, and many scenes that elicit desperation. It is not a one-trick pony as so many horror movies are.

Overall, the production values are low and present a ceiling to the grade of my review.

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.

Stumbled upon this film by chance. The name caught my eye and I thought I'd give it a look. It was far better than I had expected it to be. Great FX, acting and story.

Far far better than 95% of Hollywood horror films. Well worth watching.

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

As much as i wanted to like this movie, the main character is terrible. Guy is dumber than a box of rocks. One of the weakest and most impotent characters ive ever seen in a movie. With a different charachter with an ounce of sense this would have been a good movie.
