Graveyard Shift

Summary: Average low-budget vampire flick
Review: Graveyard Shift (now released under the title CENTRAL PARK DRIFTER) is just your average vampire flick. Nothing too spactacular, just a vampire cab driver taking his victems one by one. This movie is fairly well presented and has some artistic elements within its filming. Not one of my favorites, but I would recommend it to vampire film lovers. I've seen better vampire films, and I've seen a lot worse ones. There is also a sequel titled UNDERSTUDY: GRAVEYARD SHIFT II, but since GRAVEYARD SHIFT I has been released under CENTRAL PARK DRIFTER, I wonder if Understudy: Graveyard Shift II will ever be released on DVD. Maybe it also will be retitled to CENTRAL PARK DRIFTER II or manybe just UNDERSTUDY. I think Graveyard Shift was released under this alternate title maybe to avoid confusion with the Stephen King film of the same name? What do you think?

Summary: New Title for the 1987 movie "Graveyard Shift"
Review: This is the DVD release of the 1987 movie "Graveyard Shift". It is about a vampire that drives a cab in New York at night. This helps him find his victims, which must be a woman who is dying or wants to die. This movie embraces the theory that if you die by being bitten by a vampire you automatically become a vampire. This raises a question as to why the vampire appears to be so careful in the selection of his prey. He does not bother to make sure his victims do not return as vampires and his victims, when they return as vampires, turn around and start killing innocents. He nonetheless eventually falls in love with one of the women he meets. The idea of hooking up with women by driving a cab made the movie original but it makes no sense that a vampire that apparently had a certain set of morals in selecting his victims would then turn around and leave them to become vampires themselves. That little bit of illogical behavior is found in other vampire films however clear back to the original "Dracula" so it shouldn't put off diehard fans. The movie is fairly well presented and has a lot of artistic merit that earned it a lot of praise from viewers. While I would never call it one of my personal favorites I'd recommend it all the same to folks that enjoy these low budget ventures into the world of the undead.
