Critics Consensus

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

Audience Says

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.

2/4

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.

A-

Every action scene in Day Shift screams excess, but I couldn’t help but smile at everything the movie threw at me, even when it started to become increasingly cheesy.

3/5

"Netflix ’s Day Shift features some thrilling action scenes and a lot of well-timed humour, but the story often gets caught up in its own needless complexities."

Die Hard + Lethal Weapon + Blade = Day Shift. The ideal Friday Night movie.
