Night Shift

2025 · 90 min

A grimy, slow-building pressure cooker that turns a dead-end night shift into a nerve-shredding wait for the inevitable.

Directed by: Ben Cocuzza
Genres: Horror
Starring: Adrianne Knapp, Justin West, Phu Mau

Tagline: Minimum wage. Maximum terror.
Overview: Unaware that a serial killer is stalking clerks at 24-hour convenience stores, Debra reluctantly takes the night shift at her minimum-wage gas station job after her co-worker disappears. What begins as routine shelf-stocking and floor-sweeping quickly spirals into a heart-pounding descent into paranoia, dread, and blood-soaked madness as the killer closes in.
