Officer Jessica Loren has the last shift at a transitioning police station, assigned to wait for a hazmat crew who’s coming to pick up bio-hazard waste from the armory. But unbeknownst to Jessica, it’s more than just an old station. Cult leader John Michael Paymon has haunted the department ever since he and two of his followers committed suicide on the night they were captured. And now Jessica is about to find out how dangerous they can really be when she’s left all alone on this grave-yard shift. (Magnolia Pictures)

La joven policía actúa bien y los chicos hicieron un buen trabajo con los efectos de sonido (recomiendo ver la peli a oscuras y con buenos auriculares), pero la elección del entorno demasiado iluminado de la comisaría no es muy acertada y el desarrollo de la historia del secreto espiritual gira todo el tiempo en torno a la misma cosa hasta que al espectador no le importa qué realmente está pasando. Y al final, tampoco tiene mucho sentido.

An effective ninety-minute ghost story. DiBlasi exploits that time with every known way a ghost story can scare (phone calls, lights going out, auditory hallucinations, doors opening an closing, scary manifestations, unscary manifestations that actually lead to the scary ones, etc., etc.) without using them in any interesting way (with the exception perhaps of the scene with the torch, that one was good). It’s basically the same as every other ghost story that can end either in this or in that other way, so there aren’t many surprises to talk about. To me this film feels so ambiguously unfinished that the conclusion is either one way or the other. In any case, Last Shift is nothing original that can be a future topic of conversation. As a direct to video release is fine, in fact, compared to similar films it’s quite good thanks to the competent craftsmanship and atmosphere that make it pretty effective. Thumbs up.

Judging by the trailer, I went into the film thinking it would be a sectarian massacre in a police station and it is a ghost story, but fortunately not a stupid, colourful and naive one, but a very unpleasant, suffocating and depressing one with a creepy atmosphere throughout the film. A decent one girl show about a beautiful new police officer with some very strange things happening at night in the police station. The film does have a slower start, it doesn't really dazzle for nearly 40 minutes and the constant phone calls and wandering around the station was annoying at times, but by the end it starts to get hot and the fairer sex may well be curled up in bed in a ball. The appearance of that disfigured female villain at the end is delicious. But it's too much of a hallucinogenic psycho flick for me, with a weird ending and unfortunately, for me, no working scares. Good, but not my cup of tea. Story 6/10, Atmosphere 8/10, Gore 3/10, Visuals 6/10, Action 4/10, Entertainment 6/10.

The film is definitely excellent in this respect. It's a horror film that is truly a horror. When you watch Last Shift, you'll definitely feel fear, or at least you'll experience that pleasant shiver that comes with watching a good horror movie. It has its flaws, such as in acting and writing, but there aren't that many horror films out there that truly terrify the audience.
