The movie is about a cop that is working the last shift at a
station. As she moves through her shift, a madman shows up and starts to cause
trouble. Then as the movie progresses, so does the strange happenings, and a
lot of things just don’t seem right. We’re talking supernatural moments, with
locked doors, moving chairs, and lots of jump scares to cause you alarm.
“Last Shift” does a good job in presenting the isolation of
working overnight in a building, let alone a police station. There’s a sense of
boredom that our main character feels at first, and then things go off the
rails as the film progresses. There are plenty of jump scars, as I stated, and
there’s an attention to details related to the loneliness and boredom that
comes with isolation. However, the movie takes a turn into the macabre several
times, and you are in for a great treat if you stick with it.
The pacing is a little slow at first, but it slowly builds
drama, and eventually unleashes a torrent of scary moments. It isn’t full of
gore, it features very few people involved, and it just simply works on several
levels. You don’t need much to make a good horror or psychological film, and “Last
Shift” is definitely one of them. It has a lot of tension, and supernatural
elements to make you keep watching. Even though it starts off slow, it picks up
just in time and leaves you enjoying the moments. It’s not the best movie, but
man does it get you at times. I liked it. I recommend it, and of course you
should check it out.
