Brad Dourif is always so good in everything hes in
Can't bore if the Dourif
@@ManDuderGuy I wish he would play heroes more often.
Guy is a master class actor that gets no credit.
They killed him off to quick. His tobacco had more charisma than the main actor.
I think he's also great in Spontaneous Combustion despite the film's many issues.
Wow, I lived up until today thinking that Warwick was played by Fred Ward!
I remember thinking the same thing for years. They’re dead ringers alright.
Brad Dourif makes anything watchable
I enjoy this film. I watch it every year during October. I hope you guys review Stephen King’s Sleepwalkers.
Hell yeah, I’m seconding the notion. Sleepwalkers is a friggin hoot.
Yes! I just requested this in a separate comment. Channel Awesome did a great reaction video to Sleepwalkers.
Did you notice the original wish master Andrew div off
Warwick is a legend. You will worship him and quote his lines with the same accent "Shows Ovaa". The song during end credits is just.... something else....maybe the greatest song ever created.
Brad Dourif should have been a Ghostbuster. Cool to see Wishmaster as well.
in my own review of this, I cut to black at the end and put the soundbite "show's ova" 🤣
Someone call break?
@@promnightdumpsterbaby9553 Everybody get back to doo in wat u wa doo in
No. We're not going to worship him. We are going to fart in his face.
@@jwnj9716 eva use the pickah?
Brad's line: "God...DAMN! OHH!! ADIOS MOTHERF*CKER!!!"
Is one of the most iconic lines ever spoken on film lmao I love it! The film itself is...ok. If you're curious, check it out. If not, don't worry, you're not missing much. Great review guys! Glad you review this one! GOOD JOB!
I'm with Gary on this one, I LOVE this film despite it's flaws, it's one of my favorite creature features❣
My friends dad worked on the creature in this movie he did all the animatronics....
17:40 that stock scream
Now I am going to re-read the original short story!
Gary: Ian, someone is breaking in our studio! Call the police!!
Ian: Okay, You can count on me!!!
Police: Hello 911, what is your emergency?
Ian: Well, the story follows...
Yes indeed there are peaks & valleys in Stephen King adaptations. While not a classic by any means some of the practical SFX are good along with some nice cinematography shots. Agreed pacing was an issue as well, but on a lazy afternoon it could be slightly watchable...I suppose.
The monster scared the sh!t out of me when i was small
It should have ended with Jonh clocking himself out with Jane's card, looking around the place one last time and heading out the door.
Credits roll.
Waiting for the alien Romulus review, boys. :)
Travia bit: Steven Macht (Warwick) was Gene Roddenberry's first choice to play Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Macht end up on Star Trek in a guest spot on DS9 as an alien soldier.
Found Mike Stoklasas second account
Ehhhhhhhhhh Rat fans!
The worst Stephen King adaption is "Sometimes They Come Back." This one is bad, but not one of the worst.
Yeah that one is pretty bad.
4:58 I think that was a common problem back in the days of VHS horrors. The films rarely lived up to the covers (or posters).
At least the posters in those days were good! Compared to the "pile of heads" we often see today.
@@ThreadBomb Totally. The artwork was amazing back then because they had to use the covers to sell the films.
Nowadays that obviously doesn't need to happen.
I used to love going to the horror section of the video shop and look at the covers.
Stephen King must have had some lousy employers at some stage. Pat Hingle was a jerk boss in Maximum Overdrive, Stephen Macht in this, and Robert Englund was the craziest in The Mangler.
The person being stuck in the wing seems to have been lifted from this film for Jeepers Creepers 2. Very similar death sequence.
Why oh why not just use the original short story as-is and tell some of the other stories as well. The Mangler would have made a good addition, instead of trying to cram the monster from that story in as well. Also don't pick a rat up by the tail it's bad for them.
It's funny how the "drifter" looks the least homeless of all the characters in the movie.
The list of bad Stephen King movies is impressive. Any chance of a review of Sleepwalkers?
This is a great bad movie. One of my favorites. Great performances, rats, and a cool monster. Much better than Children of the Corn and some of the others mentioned. Maybe Dourif's best role. I have no love for Chucky. He's just too bizarre and silly in the Alien sequel. This and Billy Babbit are his most iconic roles. Plus, Wishmaster...and a bunch of unique nobodies. Can't get enough of Graveyard Shift. Please review Dead Zone and Thinner some time! Both classics.
should check out a biker B movie called running cool. Andrew Divoff has a good turn. comedy drama with some roadhouse vibes.
Very similar experience my first (and I think only) time watching this movie. Rented it from a hole-in-the-wall rental store, entirely because of that poster. Then disappointment lol
This replaced the showing of the first nights showing out of two nights of IT, Scheduled in the tv guide sometime in the mid 90s. what was shown instead was graveyard shift. was gutted
Please review The Nature of the Beast with Eric Roberts and Lance Henrikson
I quite enjoyed this one. I wasn't aware of the the deleted parts, I suppose it makes sense seeing some things they set up.
Also... guys the Night Flyer is pretty good. I would argue is better than the original.
This film holds a lot of nostalgia for me seeing it in the theater when I was 10 years old with my mom and dad. I always felt Night Flier is highly underrated and one I also really enjoy.
The end credits...Indeed I thought the same thing..and this time the coolest scene in a movie is not just before or after the end credits but within itself..
i think the can just hits the wood in front of the rat and the rat ran off when it saw the can coming (probably slower then sped up too)
i forgot about the weird end credits song until it came up here lol
good movie it about on par with other mid quality horror films of the day like Deep Star Six or Leviathan
Honestly, this movie is amazing.
Bloody hell! I've also got a Weyland-Yutani t-shirt as well 😁😁😁😁
Only given to staff lol
Prey!!!!
I had Roland rat wallpaper, when I was a kid.
I love Maximum Overdrive
31st here, and I remember watching this when I was a kid
Yay another amazing review, keep it up guys!!
This film should have been called killed off screen lol
6:35 That Machine Is As like A "Mangler".
This was one of my least favorite stories.
This was very funny. 😂
This movie hits home for me because i worked at an old string factory like this for 14 years.
is there much a market for old string?
Another great review of an underrated Stephen King adaptation. Happy Birthday to me!
Happy birthday!
26"08 A Mill On The Hill.
3rd here damn it 😂 JK Thankyou for the OTSR fix that I need 👊
War-wick?.
4:41 Salems Lot Also.
A lot of people get devoured in this film awesome review
Good one to do.
Wake & bake 💨
Hey yoooo 💨
This is definitely a difficult movie to find. It’s not in any Stephen king compilation and no streaming service has it
There is a blu-ray you can buy
A decent adaptation although especially the ending is way different from the story. I liked this even better after rewatching. Good to see Andrew Divoff starring in this. Generally the Night Shift collection is a must to read. BTW Graveyard Shift was the first short story that I read in Spanish :D. Guys, I couldn't possibly ask for more than this review.
This was one of those movies I swore I had seen, but couldn't decide if it was a falling asleep in front of the TV fever dream or not. Turns out I had seen it.
No. You didn't see it. The TV farted in your face
TURN UP!
Loved this movie, I also saw it as a child late at night. I was instantly intrigued and watched so hard. That basement and how it kept going down was so interesting.
Come on guys the guy going crazy and killing everyone even a woman that’s scary
In the short the guy's a drifter who stops for awhile to take what work he can get, it takes place during this extreme heatwave-- nineties and hundreds of degrees during like two and three in the morning hours.
So they're working down in this rat infested infested basement and the dude spends his breaks pottin' em wirh his empty beer cans-- and he never seems to miss. In fact, the rats seem to hate him. There never was a slingshot, and they weren't soda cans.
He and the other guys he's working with discover this massive old rusted shut trap door-- some sort of sub basement.
The asshole boss makes them force it open and go down there too.
The rivalry between drifter and boss has been building, and right around now shit turns personal with some sort of dare (I forget). The monster rat in the short either doesn't have wings or they aren't it's main deformity-- it has these massive ripped front legs and NO BACK LEGS AT ALL. It basically moves by draggin' itself around on it's ass.
It's vaguely said that the drifter "thinks that of all the places he's been, he's actually been waiting to find something like this".
From what I remember of the story , there was various rats with different stages of deformities? It has been years but I actually seen the movie first then managed to hunt a copy of the book down and it wasn't what I expected (compared to the movie)
@@paulie.walnuts2838 I remember there being smaller rats-- an entire army of several armies worth, and that they weren't scared like the upper basement rats, they'd just swarm and bite. The big front legged one was like their big king daddy.
@@devinpaul9026 am I right about there being rats that did have wings and actually flew? Night shift was a great book with the boogeyman as well
@@paulie.walnuts2838 I might remember SOMETHING about wings. It's been well over a decade by now. And is that the one with Trucks, AKA what Maximum Overdrive and it's remake COULD have and SHOULD have been?
@@paulie.walnuts2838 I think we got Children Of The Corn out of it too.
🍭👍
Cheers guys!
Cheers again Skaro - much appreciated, thank you dude

First we crack the shell, then we crack the nuts inside!
@@KingSidJames Run Blaster, save yourself!!!
@@GODCONVOYPRIMENo way, two can play...Sick em
2nd one here. Not bad.
yah I actually liked this movie, good creature feature watch.
A giant Rat mum and her evil kin this probably inspired a lot of boss battles in horror games
Sorry I thought the creature was a giant rat when it was a giant bat sorry
Once again this channel revives forgotten memories, i barely remembered this movie, it has the usual King style, a monster or surreal thing going on, but the plot and main conflict go around grounded characters, is a shame it did not had a better production
I’m just about the book
Love this movie as a fun goofy horror movie.
Graveyahhhd shift!
Thanks guys 👊👊
He’ll yea
shelf life! 🎉
😆Great review guys! Thank you! 👍
Gary likes to bum Ian. They like each other.
got your channel name on there enough? 🙄
If I remember right, this follows the story fairly well. So the parts that seemed sad and unfair, well - that’s Stephen King for you! I always liked this one personally!
