Day Shift, the genre-bendingย August release on Netflix is a dream come true for every Vampire-action movie fan. The directorial debut of martial artist and action choreographer JJ Perry is an amazing culmination of comedy, action, horror, family love drama, and then some. This might even be THE action movie on Netflix’s 2nd half of 2022.
Starring Jamie Foxx, Dave Franco, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, and a cameo by Snoop Dogg, this movie is about a loving father who works as a Pool Cleaner and a Vampire Hunter. To stop his wife from taking his daughter away, he is forced to hunt vampires for money. So, to make ends meet he sets on this vampire hunting adventure along with Dave Franco’s Seth.
Being an action choreographer himself, director JJ Perry works it in his favor. However, the film is not just about action, it has a good mixture of comedy and love. Karla Souza’s portrayal of the vicious vampire serves up some interesting narrative turns as she is phenomenal in the role.
