Writer/director Brea Grant's bloody comedy 12 HOUR SHIFT was supposed to have its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival this month, but of course that event had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the festival will still be allowing critics to watch the film online this Sunday, and in anticipation of at least some people getting to watch it, a teaser trailer for 12 HOUR SHIFT has arrived online and can be seen above.
Genre fans may know Brea Grant from her acting roles in films like MIDNIGHT MOVIE, Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN II, and ALLELUIA! THE DEVIL'S CARNIVAL. She didn't take a lead role in 12 HOUR SHIFT herself, but she did assemble a cool cast for her film. That cast includes Angela Bettis, David Arquette, Chloe Farnworth, and wrestling legend Mick Foley.
Bettis plays
Nurse Mandy, who is desperate to make it through her double shift without incident. This is particularly hard to do when you’re an addict and are also involved in a black market organ-trading scheme. When her hapless but dangerous cousin Regina (Farnworth) messes up a kidney delivery, chaos descends on the Arkansas hospital as Mandy and Regina frantically try to secure a replacement organ through any means necessary. Things grow increasingly complicated when injured convict Jefferson (Arquette) is brought in, and events spiral even further out of control.
Kit Williamson and Nikea Gamby-Turner are also in the cast.
David Arquette produced the film with Christina Arquette, Jordan Wayne Long, Tara Perry, and composer Matt Glass.
12 HOUR SHIFT looks fun to me, so hopefully the general audience won't have to wait long to see it.
