Down in the deep south amidst the hot and hazy heat waves, sits the old Bachman Mill. Now the mill is a cotton refinery an old textile mill, if you will. The midnight shift or the graveyard shift is operated by a skeleton crew, just enough to keep it ...read the complete Graveyard Shift movie review at HorrorWatch

Graveyard Shift is a total bore. At least Silver Bullet 's campiness had me laughing occasionally, but the only physical reaction Graveyard Shift inspired was a compulsion to press the 'Skip Chapter' button repeatedly. I was able to resist that urge, as ...read the complete Graveyard Shift movie review at DVD Talk (Adam Tyner)

Like many of King's stories, this one plays on a primal fear. This one happens to be rodents and, to an extent, bats. If rodents scare you, wait until you get a load of the Queen! I first caught this movie in a Stephen King marathon on some TV channel ...

Já tinha lido o livro. o filme ajuda a compreender melhor a ambientação.
No final dos créditos há uma nota dizendo que nenhum animal foi mal-tratado ou machucado na realização do filme, é tão bem feita as cenas com ratos que fica difícil imaginar como ...

I work in a factory. I work the graveyard shift. I like Stephen King movies. Its only natural that I check out this film, being a horror film fan as well. The cover to the dvd is awesome; the first release not the new cover. I thought this movie was ...

like a lot of stephen king movies and this one is definitely one of the better ones! factory is literally taken over by rat infestation. the boss decides to put together a cleanup crew to work the graveyard shift till they get the factory cleaned up ...
It scared me to death. I love the big rat or bat thing in the movie. It kind of reminded me of some Ex-boyfriends I use to go out with. I think Steven King did a great job on this movie. And I hope he does more movies like this ...

I typically don't like movies that have been adapted from Stephen King's books. Having said that, I did like this movie. Maybe it's because it was from one of his short stories, I don't know. One movie I hated was "IT". The book was awesome, the ...

A drifter is looking for a new start and applies for a job at a mill in a small town. Conditions at the mill are not great but work is work. The foreman is a total jerk and get off on wielding his power. But things really start to get bad when a crew ...

People just don't understand what's going on here. None of his movies are supposed to be like the book because what would be the point in going to watch them? In other word's they wouldn't be able to sell the book & vise versa.They want it to be a whole ...

I thought the movie was really good. there are a couple parts that could have been better, but for the most part it is a really good movie. if you like stephen king movies you will like this one... ...
by Robin Goodfellow on August 17, 2004
I just gave this movie 4 stars because I saw it a while ago and don't remember TOO much of it. The Graveyard Shift monster is weird with a lot of rats around. I do remember there were some rats in it. Didn't they even describe what that thing looked ...
