Graveyard Shift

About This Movie

So, 'Graveyard Shift' is this quirky 2023 comedy set in the late '90s, right when the world was on the brink of Y2K panic. Caldwell, our lead, is such a relatable character—just a guy stuck in a mundane job, wrestling with his own shortcomings while dealing with a heap of college debt. The vibe is light but carries a strange weight as the comedy kicks into gear when the dead start rising. It’s not just about the gags; there’s a real exploration of purpose and what it means to be alive...or undead, in this case. The practical effects are surprisingly charming, adding a tactile feel that you don’t get with CGI-heavy flicks. The performances have this casual flair, making it feel almost like a hangout movie, even with the chaos of zombies. It stands out in the comedy genre for sure.
