Stephen King's Graveyard Shift
1990
Paramount DVD

This isn't one of the better films based on a Stephen King story. But still it is enjoyable. It isn't total crap like The Tommyknockers or Dreamcatcher. The short story it is based on is from the great collection Night Shift. Which is my favorite of King's short story collections.

A down on his luck guy gets a job working in a textile factory. He has to work the graveyard shift. The owner wants him and some other workers to go down into the sub levels and see what all they can find. Down there they find terror and death.

The film is well made. With Brad Dourif being the stand out. He plays a rat catcher. The DVD is pretty barebones. But at least looks and sounds good.

Graveyard Shift gets a C-.
