Critics Consensus

Game stars and an appealingly goofy premise aren't enough to make up for Day Shift's uninspired action-comedy hijinks.

Audience Says

Day Shift could have been a lot better -- but all in all, this action/horror/comedy hybrid is a pretty painless way to pass the time.

Ultimately, Day Shift feels like it has more in common with a video game than a movie.

Streaming audiences, from the comfort of their sofas, won’t complain. Viewers in a theater would not be so kind. Why? Because the bite in this vampire movie is only skin deep.

A-

Every action scene in Day Shift screams excess, but I couldn’t help but smile at everything the movie threw at me, even when it started to become increasingly cheesy.

3/5

"Netflix ’s Day Shift features some thrilling action scenes and a lot of well-timed humour, but the story often gets caught up in its own needless complexities."

Die Hard + Lethal Weapon + Blade = Day Shift. The ideal Friday Night movie.

Cliche, cliche, cliche. It felt like it was mixture of an Indiana Jones, John Wick, and every vampire movie ever. This is all in the worst way. It felt like something a nepo baby produced after watching a few vampire films, and chose to take daddy’s money for an action movie turned bad. The plot felt like it was written by a four year old with a lisp. I don’t know why the fight scenes felt more like a gymnastics competition or why the guy kept peeing himself. The dialogue felt unnatural and the jokes weren’t even chuckle worthy. There are many plot holes and the world building is poorly done but had a lot of potential. One of the worst movies I have ever watched.
