Day Shift is a new (2022) straight-to-Netflix horror-comedy starring Jamie Foxx as Bud, a hard-working but non-union vampire hunter in the San Fernando valley. When his ex-wife threatens to take their kid and move to Florida, he needs to come up with enough cash - quickly - to pay for the kid's tuition and braces to entice her to stay. He wheedles his way back into the Vampire Hunters Union, on the good word of legendary slayer Snoop Dogg, but gets saddles with Seth, a bean-counting chaperone (Dave Franco). JF starts racking up the kills (the hunters collects vamp teeth as proof) and soon kills the wrong old lady vampire, pissing off the head vamp, Audrey. Audrey kidnaps Bud's family, there's lots of car chases ... and this just didn't hold my attention very well.
The action is solid, with good fight choreography, and it's plenty gory. But this is not even close to scary, or all that funny, or all that original. I give it a meh.
