A mildly amusing Saturday afternoon diversion, “Graveyard Shift” was based on a Stephen King short story. Here it is fleshed out into movie length and a large part of that filling is loaded with oozing, despicable caricatures. A bunch of people you could care less about are tasked with cleaning up the lower level area of a mill located somewhere on the east coast. Maybe the extraction of all the crap which has accumulated down there over the years will alleviate some of the rat problem that infests the place. What is not known is that the mother of all rodents resides in the shadowy depths and it is ALWAYS hungry for human flesh. Not the worst way to waste 90 minutes but stay tuned for some heavy gore scenes between the warring factions of vermin, human and rat. The King story is quite different in that it involves one man trapped in a collapsing underground labyrinth with a gigantic rodent in hot pursuit. Yuck!
Check out this link below which recounts graveyard shift workers’ sometimes scary working conditions. A few good chills will be had:

I stumbled upon this movie late at night and was instantly appalled! What a horrific, nightmarish spectacle it all is. A unit of Russian soldiers during World War II are unfortunate enough to wander into the Hell of a den of nearly unstoppable human/robot hybrids. The soldiers’ mission is to apprehend a latter day descendant of the evil Dr. Frankenstein himself and put a stop to his hideous killer creations. They should have gone AWOL and fled the mission. The creatures featured in this lovely gore fest are pieced together from dead bodies and curious mechanical parts the good doctor has lying around his lab. I’ll let you discover their grotesque makeup on your own. I guess this is one of the charms the film could boast. What insane mash up of corpse and metal might be coming next? It is possible for the entire concept of “Frankenstein’s Army” to build up a loyal fan base and a new horror franchise could be born. Plenty of gunplay, unrelenting action, explosions, freakish creatures, severed limbs, exposed brains, bloodshed and insane ranting to please even the most jaded horror movie fan. Truly sickening!!!
