Critics Consensus

Game stars and an appealingly goofy premise aren't enough to make up for Day Shift's uninspired action-comedy hijinks.

Audience Says

Day Shift could have been a lot better -- but all in all, this action/horror/comedy hybrid is a pretty painless way to pass the time.

Chicago Reader

Ultimately, Day Shift feels like it has more in common with a video game than a movie.

Streaming audiences, from the comfort of their sofas, won’t complain. Viewers in a theater would not be so kind. Why? Because the bite in this vampire movie is only skin deep.

Rated: 2/4

Tampa Bay Newspapers

“Day Shift” is only intermittently entertaining, leaving the viewer with a handful of rousing action sequences scattered across a mostly forgettable landscape populated with under-developed characters and materialistic vampires.

The Hindu

Genre leaps from horror to buddy-comedy to action to family-friendly and to a road movie make for exhausting viewing.

Most of Day Shift’s jokes don’t land, and it is creaky and clunky during its entire runtime.

Vampiros raramente me apetecem, mas aquela cena inicial da vovó vampira numa luta extraordinária ganhou meu coração, os vampirinhos são fofos, muitos se assemelham a zumbis, e como eu amo zumbi já ganhou meu aí, o filme segue arrastado, a dupla Jamie Foxx e Dave Franco como Seth, o coadjuvante que dá uma levantadinha evitando o tédio, com boas tiradas cômicas, as únicas, salvam não o suficiente para se tornar inesquecível, mas para não ser esquecível… Torcendo para vampirinhos, menos mercenários

It's a vampire hunter movie, what do they do with the fangs? What's the point of the money exchange for them? Who started the union? There's a lot of plot holes that a bit of exposition could have easily fill them.

A pleasant surprise! Cool, over-the-top mayhem, no overly annoying characters. Definitely worth watching for "free".
