Lyles' Movie Files

The only thing holding the film back is the final act. It’s relatively clever, but the only aspect of Night Shift that invites a greater analysis with some of the plot holes created for its payoff.

Rated: 7/10

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

Night Shift is a cozy horror flick, one that feels familiar, but it also works as a show of skill for first-time directors, the China Brothers.

... bears a clear signifier that The China Brothers are willing to go to filthy places that no all-purpose disinfectant can clean.

Deep Focus Review

The material feels like a short story and quickly evaporates from the brain. But it’s a diverting late-night watch that kept me engaged for its brief runtime and produced a few jolts.

Rated: 3/4

A Nightmare On Fierce Street Podcast

Lamorne Morris is the VIP of a movie that doesn't ask too much of its audience. It's the perfect movie if you're looking for some mindless fun or having friends over and want to put on something that doesn't require your full attention.

Rated: 3/5

Night Shift (2023) Underrated Horror Movie (11,811 –06 Jul 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) Gwen Taylor (Phoebe Tonkin) arrives at the remote All Tucked Inn to work in the night shift and is immediately hired by the owner Teddy Miles (Lamorne Morris). The motel is empty and there is only one guest, Alice Marsh (Madison Hu), and Gwen befriends her. During the night, Gwen sees ghosts and Alice tells her that the place is famous for being haunted. Further, a black car surrounds the motel several times and Gwen believes the driver is Walton Grey, who killed her family. She calls Teddy and tells him that she will quit the job, but he will come only at 7:00 AM. Therefore, she has to spend the tense night calming herself down. “Night Shift” (2023) is an underrated horror movie by Benjamin China and Paul China. Despite the low budget, this film is one of the best recently released in the horror genre. The twist is unexpected, at least for viewers that have not seen the trailer or read other reviews. Phoebe Tonkin has top- notch performance in the role of a woman haunted by ghost and murders from the past. The ironic conclusion is very funny. My vote is seven.

NIGHT SHIFT feels more like a haunted roadside stop than a full journey—eerie and compelling, but never fully grounded. Once that sets in, its grip begins to loosen.
