Critics Consensus

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

Audience Consensus

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.

A pleasant surprise! Cool, over-the-top mayhem, no overly annoying characters. Definitely worth watching for "free".

The movie was fun and enjoyable. Nothing too special. It had a good cast with a lot of big names. I liked the vibrant colors and cinematic shots of LA. The movie sets up well for a sequel and I would like to see it. Overall a fun movie to not overthink and just watch for fun.

Day Shift ist eine Actionkomödie von JJ Perry… Ein berufstätiger Vater möchte seiner Tochter ein gutes Leben ermöglichen. Sein banaler Job als Poolreiniger ist jedoch nur eine Fassade, denn in Wahrheit ist deine eigentliche Einnahmequelle Vampire zu jagen und zu töten… Komödie, Horror, Actionfilm… Unterhaltsame Handlung, lustige Charaktere, gute Dialoge und wirklich schöne Actionsequenzen… eine Kombination aus Zombie und Vampir?...

The action was good and comedy picked up quite a bit. Cast was good and the movie as a whole was quite entertaining.

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.

Rated: 2/4

Lee Zumpe

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.

The Hindu

Genre leaps from horror to buddy-comedy to action to family-friendly and to a road movie make for exhausting viewing.

Most of Day Shift’s jokes don’t land, and it is creaky and clunky during its entire runtime.
