Last Shift

The lady cop performs well and the boys spent a lot of time tinkering with sound effects (I recommend watching this in the dark with good headphones on), but the choice of the mostly excessively bright environment of the police station is unfortunate and the storyline of the ghostly secret revolve around one thing, over and over until the viewer doesn’t even care about the truth. And in the end, it doesn’t even make much sense. (27.04.2016)

In this one, the movie is definitely excellent. It is a horror film, which is truly scary. When you watch "Last Shift," you will definitely feel what fear is or at least have that pleasant shiver that comes when you watch a good horror film. It has its flaws, for example, in acting and script, but there aren't that many similar horror films that are terrifying even to the viewer. (02.03.2016)

An effective ninety-minute ghost story. DiBlasi exploits that time with every known way a ghost story can scare (phone calls, lights going out, auditory hallucinations, doors opening an closing, scary manifestations, unscary manifestations that actually lead to the scary ones, etc., etc.) without using them in any interesting way (with the exception perhaps of the scene with the torch, that one was good). It’s basically the same as every other ghost story that can end either in this or in that other way, so there aren’t many surprises to talk about. To me this film feels so ambiguously unfinished that the conclusion is either one way or the other. In any case, Last Shift is nothing original that can be a future topic of conversation. As a direct to video release is fine, in fact, compared to similar films it’s quite good thanks to the competent craftsmanship and atmosphere that make it pretty effective. Thumbs up. (19.09.2015)
