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.

Chicago Reader

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.

Loud and Clear Reviews

"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."

Rated: 3/5

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

Tampa Bay Newspapers

“Day Shift” is only intermittently entertaining, leaving the viewer with a handful of rousing action sequences scattered across a mostly forgettable landscape populated with under-developed characters and materialistic vampires.

Day Shift was hilarious and full of insane action—Jamie Foxx, Dave Franco, and Snoop Dogg were such a great trio, we seriously need a sequel ASAP!

Very fun to watch, i was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The movie is clever, it doesn't try to blow you away with sophistication, but leaves you feeling refreshed.

Day Shift’s action-comedy is a bit of a dud, despite its talented cast and intriguing premise.

It was fun. Not my favourite type of humor, but it was enjoyable. Sometimes it felt a little bit to gore and violent and some things felt extra. It's the perfect movie for a sunday afternoon, with rain outside and the will too watch anything. Not family friendly though. Sit back and enjoy.

A bit of a different spin on the vampire movie bringing a fresh, humorous approach. Cast are great and movie has a feel good element to it
