John Hall (David Andrews) is a drifter who wanders into a small town in Maine. He needs a job and decides to seek employment at the community's top business: a large textile mill. He is hired to work the "graveyard shift" -- from around midnight to dawn -- and, along with a few others, he is charged with cleaning out the basement. This task strikes the workers as simple enough, but then, as they proceed deeper underground, they encounter an unspeakable monstrosity intent on devouring them all.

I suppose the best one can say about Graveyard Shift is that it’s superior to 1995’s truly abysmal The Mangler, another movie based on a Stephen King short story and involving a monster munching mortals among mill machinery.

One of the worst of Stephen King movies. Don't punch in for this mess.

This movie is great! I did not fully appreciate it when I first recorded it on VHS in the 90s, but every time I come back to it, I enjoy it more. It is impossible to take seriously and if you just want a fun monster film this one fits the bill

If I could give anything individual actor and star rating I'd give Brad Dourif 5 stars. This movie is fun but poorly executed and needed alot more Brad Dourif.

Brad Dourif is an absolute scene-stealer in this movie. He showed up on set and chewed the scenery! Overall, the story is simplistic and relatively easy to follow. Of course, it wouldn't be a proper Stephen King story if there isn't a flair of something supernatural or absurd blended into the horror factor. I can't hardline this movie as my favorite King adaptation, but I still enjoyed watching it.

I really can't say much about this film. I tought it was okay for a low budget B movie. Not bad not good just okay that's why I give it 3/5 wich I think it's fair.

Only Brad Dourif's performance, which can be classified as some kind of bright spot of film, warrants one whole star instead of half. One of the worst Stephen King adaptations ever!

Falls flat on its knees in regard to character development. Story has its interesting moments.
