Dead Shift

About This Movie

So, 'Dead Shift' is this quirky blend of comedy and crime that really captures that chaotic energy of an overnight bar shift. Picture this: two bartenders, tossed into a wild night after their boss bails. The pacing is a bit erratic, which works given the premise. The whole vibe turns into a darkly humorous ride once an alcoholic patron gets caught up in a murder. There’s a raw, almost DIY feel to the practical effects, which keeps you on your toes. The performances of the leads have that sort of relatable awkwardness, making their descent into absurdity feel even more bizarre. It’s the kind of film that thrives on unpredictable encounters, showing how quickly a mundane shift can spiral out of control.
