Twisted, clever and darkly funny; "12 Hour Shift" is an edgy female lead romp that flips the genre on its head. In this thriller set in 1999 Arkansas, a drug-using nurse and her cousin try to find a replacement kidney for an organ trafficker. Overall you will either love "12 Hour Shift" or hate it. I really enjoyed this B-movie for its dark humour and fun, gory aspect. Angela Bettis is terrific in the lead role and honestly, we can all relate to her and her struggles with people. At times shocking but always entertaining, writer/director Brea Grant is a fascinating filmmaker with a bright future ahead. Running at almost 90-minutes, this thrill ride flies by. Check it out if you can. Follow @snobmedia for more reviews!

Certainly worth watching. Kind of hokey but in a good way. Has a decent amount of gore in it, so be aware if you're a bit squeamish.

12 Hour Shift starts off slow and disjointed, but fires on all cylinders about 25 minutes in. The lead characters in the film aren't meant to be likable (heck, they all deal in organ trafficking!) - that's what we come to terms with, in those initial scenes. Along with the plot's overall absurdity. Things do get comically chaotic thereafter, with ample doses of blood-spilling. Bettis (as a nurse with drug addiction) remains a badass throughout, even when her supposed family members get involved in life-threatening situations. It was Chloe Farnworth (as organ trafficker Regina), however, who wholly caught my attention. She is the epitome of sassy, psychotic, and mindless in the film; a little like Harley Quinn with a penchant for gore. Every scene featuring her is quirky, exciting, and comes with a surreal sense of humor. I'd love to see her get more work. The good thing with the humor in 12 Hour Shift is that it pops up when you least expect it to - Kit Williamson and Nikea Gamby-Turner earn some points in that department. The climactic finale gets a little messy, with too many characters and the idiocy exponentially higher. 12 Hour Shift makes for a fun little watch to kick off the first weekend of Halloween month, especially if you'd want to keep things light yet bloody.

Angela Bettis was once upon a time a cult actress and her presence ment ,that the film will be unusual but worthy of watching.Have no idea what happened,but this movie is just stupid,mediocre and somewhat unpleasant...3 stars just like a kudos to once favorite actress...

This film start with a woman "Mandy" talking with her colleague, and she selling a kidney to her cousin "Regina" scene! As turnout, this film is about Mandy need to steal another kidney for Regina, after Regina forget to put the kidney inside her cooler container! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the playing dumb scene, overuse of the middle fingered at people scene, overuse of the stealing organ part scene, overuse of the annoying song playing at the background scene, overuse of the dumb dancing scene, overuse of the dumb singing scene, and overuse of the slow-motion walking scene! Make the film unwatchable! All the killing scene just saw the the blood after the killing, messy, and portray by sideways! Make the film frustrated to watch! At the end, Mandy push away the last organ trafficker! Still have a post credit scene! Mandy waking up from her car, and back to work! That's it! Wasting time to watch!

Given the cast I thought I'd be in for a delight. The acting was fine. It's just boring as hell and nothing happens to make it worth a watch. Offbeat comedy for sure, it missed the beat completely. I laughed one time so I'll give it a 3 for effort and casting. Not a comedy horror at all. Just a meh "dark comedy". Woof! Even for a first feature feature film. Brea Grant is not coming out swinging that's for sure.

Highlight of the film is Bettis' character and performance as she must endure idiots ruining her day and making it worse as things get comically out of hand. The comical antics are more likely to have you shaking your head than laughing though, unless you still find Scary Movie funny. If you can get past the stupidity, the thriller aspect of trying to illegally trade organs while everything is going wrong is rather enjoyable. Weird music throughout might be jarring to some but I quite like it. Arquette's role is small enough not to ruin it, while sadly Foley's is a cameo with a few lines, so if you're a wrasslin' fan just here for him don't bother.

You can't trust horror reviews. I swear people come out of the woodwork to watch something they know they're going to hate and clutch their pearls when there's violence in it. And this is not even that violent! Then the other half whines that they weren't scared. Lord help us. This was off the wall, dark, funny, kept me entertained the whole time, and had a moderate amount of blood and violence. All of the actresses were hilarious. It's a cute little indie horror comedy. I would watch this with just about anyone. Definitely worth a watch.
