Back in August, we shared a teaser trailer (embedded above) for director Yam Laranas' NIGHTSHIFT, a trailer that was cool and creepy enough that it not only got me interested in seeing NIGHTSHIFT, it also made me want to seek out Laranas' previous genre movies, like PATIENT X, THE ROAD (2011), AURORA, and two versions of THE ECHO. Well, I haven't gotten a chance to watch those other movies yet, but now a full trailer for NIGHTSHIFT has arrived online to make me even more certain that I'm going to be watching this one.
Starring Yam Concepcion, NIGHTSHIFT follows
a young woman working at a morgue who is trapped there by a harsh storm outside. Sleep-deprived and dealing with her own recent tragedy, she becomes alarmed by the sudden jerks and groans from the bodies around her. As a very long shift drags on, she begins to mentally blur the line between the living and the dead.
Though she doesn’t believe in life after death, she begins to wonder if she’s living through the end of the world — while trapped at work. In a morgue.
Judging by the full trailer embedded below, this is going to be quite unsettling and a bit gross.
According to its IMDb page, NIGHTSHIFT is getting a January 22 release in the Phillippines. I'm hoping we'll have have distribution news for other territories very soon.
