Don't waste your time watching Night shift

A few weeks ago I saw the trailer of a movie called “Night Shift” it looked pretty interesting but at the same time I read the comments of this trailer and I noticed many people saying bad things about this movie, among these comments I could notice that this movie had a background, it turns out that it is inspired by an urban legend of Mexico and that made me a little more interested despite the bad comments I wanted to give it a chance and honestly I regret it hahaha. Latin cinema is not my favorite because most of the time I can't take it seriously either because of the acting that leaves much to be desired or the low budget effects that can be seen in some productions, I'm not saying that all of them are bad, but I speak from my experience where most of the movies from this side of the world for me is... boring today this movie confirms once again this theory.
Although nowadays there are very few movies that I genuinely like I have been in total shock with this movie since it didn't even fulfill the objective of distracting me, I felt like taking it out and going to sleep, I found it very boring, incoherent and it really takes off from its original story many times, I had to read a little about the story on which the movie is based to see if at least they did that well and the movie has nothing to do with reality and the many stories that there are about this urban legend.
The acting in my opinion was terrible, I never got immersed in the story as I could not believe anything they said, the protagonist was very strange, she looked like a robot and in scenes a little more intense you can noticed a level of acting a little better, however, for me it does not work a well done performance of 2 minutes and then go back to being a complete vegetable.
And speaking of this main character, I never understood why she self-harms, I can understand that because of her past full of traumas she does it as a way to punish herself or feel better, BUT... Why do it in the hospital in front of her locker with a strange and improvised altar? I didn't get it. Even the ghost would freak out when she saw that woman cutting herself and leave HAHAHA.
In horror movies we seek to scare us and this movie does the opposite, it gives laughter and cringe, the ghost is so characterized that it just looks like a costume, the movements of this entity are ZERO scary, her way of walking and moving her hands seems more like a choreography or a circus act, I was thinking that maybe it doesn't work the fact that the entity is completely visible and that's why it's not scary but if we think a little bit more there are movies where we can see the entities completely like for example the nun and the makeup and the scenes are so well done that if it's scary, they make you jump out of your seat for a moment, but this is not the case.
The special effects... Meh... nothing impressive, a lot of blood to satisfy the sadistic audience, something that made me laugh is when the main character injures herself, because each cut sounds like they are churning her guts and really a cut in the leg with a blade doesn't sound like that at all hahaha. In some scenes they had to put a strong neon light to disguise the bad special effects and in others they couldn't do the same and I had to see totally horrible scenes.
Here two pictures I have something to say about, the first one is when the main character (who I didn't even bother to learn her name) gets inside her locker in a kind of skin sewn with threads and ends up in “ANOTHER DIMENSION!?” this part reminded me of Stranger Things for a moment I thought Vecna was going to be in some scene (wtf).
And the second one is the most expected death of the whole movie, I think this was the only actor who did a great job in the movie and that he didn't have too many dialogues he just fulfilled being a disgusting and despicable macho man and he did it very well hahaha, but everything goes down when we see the special effects of his death seriously... How ugly! I'm not asking for it to look completely real but not so fake either hahaha.
Anyway, very bad movie is the worst I've seen in a while, my husband and I competed with who fell asleep first watching this thing, so if you want to take a nap you can watch this movie on MAX.
