Day Shift is a damned delight. One would be tempted to call it the best horror comedy of 2022 so far, but it mixes so many genres it’s more like 2022’s best horror-buddy-cop-cartel-drama-bounty-hunter-martial-arts-action comedy (so far). Read full review

Day Shift doesn’t offer much in the way of surprises, but audiences whose taste runs to horror comedies that are heavy on action and light on plot may enjoy sinking their teeth into this one. Read full review

it’s a silly action comedy where the action is actually fun, the jokes mostly land, and neither detracts from the other. All in all a reasonably fun streamer. Read full review

The action is well-shot, and the buddy dynamic is fun. There’s plenty here that’s familiar, but it’s actually not a terrible way to spend a couple of hours with your Familiar. Read full review

Day Shift just about gets by on its impressive action sequences, but everything else about the vampire horror comedy feels more than a little lacking. Read full review

The crude, tedious action sequences with their video-game aesthetic are an incredible trial and there is nothing interesting or glamorous about these vampires at all. Read full review

Day Shift pauses for a promising concept every now and then before zooming off to its next helping of amped-up gore. The graphic violence is never terribly disturbing, mostly because it’s rendered with cartoonish exaggeration. Read full review

This was a fun ride! The comedy and action had me hooked! I was literally laughing out loud! The vampires are so different and I just want more! I would love to see a sequel of this or even a spin-off with the Nazarian brothers!

A fun movie, with its well-thought-out world of vampires and hunters. Fox and Snup Dogg well done))

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Solid vampire action flick. The action scenes are very good, sadly everything else is rather lacking. The story is dull and stupid, the dialogues are cringe und worldbuilding does not really happen.… Expand

Nonsense Netflix action flick that features above average action. The rest is poor standard and typically generic Netflix crap. The villains couldn't of been worse, the script and arc is exactly what you would expect.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was very disappointing to say the least, I watched this movie with my family for my son's birthday and the grin on all of our faces quickly faded as this movie let out several unfunny jokes and a clunky, boring story that did not need to be told. Snoop Dogg and his death felt like cheap celebrity canoes. He made an unfunny joke as he died to kill a group of several vampires.… Expand

Action is okay. Rest does leave a lot to be desired. Cannot recommend the movie.
