Feebly developed by writer John Esposito and lamely directed by Ralph S. Singleton

Graveyard Shift is far from art, but for a B-movie it gets the job done.

1.5/4

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.

It's certainly not good. This was literally the last story from 'Night Shift' that I thought they'd adapt into a movie.

A mutant Bat-Rat and Brad Dourif are the only two good things about this movie.
