Graveyard Shift is far from art, but for a B-movie it gets the job done. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
I suppose the best one can say about Graveyard Shift is that it’s superior to 1995’s truly abysmal The Mangler, another movie based on a Stephen King short story and involving a monster munching mortals among mill machinery. Go to Full Review

Robert P @Superbad Oct 17, 2026 A Horrible re-interpretation of a Stephen King story! See more Craig W @CJWolfe27 Oct 13, 2026 Pretty poor adaptation of a Stephen King story See more DeWitt T @RT07297184 Oct 6, 2026 I refuse to look research it further, but I seem to remember enjoying this Stephen King story. This movie; however, is empty. It contains little more than artless shots of a dank factory. While it's true that the rats make me queasy due to my own personal issues, the rest is motionless, emotionless and broken. If you want to hear townspeople make what they think are jokes and then belly laugh, this is your movie. If you want to never see the monster, but not in a suspenseful way, this is your movie. But it's not my movie. It's black, it's pink, it's slimy, but not really worth the time.
