Stephen King's Graveyard Shift



I didn't think I'd seen this film before today, but now that I have finished it I think I did see it. Graveyard Shift (1990) is just completely forgettable. Basically, there's this cotton mill that's overrun by rats and the flamboyantly evil foreman keeps assigning people to go into basement where they inevitably get eaten by a giant albino bat that lives down there for some reason. But it isn't until nearly two-thirds of the way into the movie until our apparent main character (David Andrews) gets involved in anything that has to do with that, so the movie just treads water until then. Perhaps the most obvious time-waster is Brad Dourif as a bizarro exterminator who dies in a random accident before he can even make it into the basement.
