An okay Alien story held back by contrivances and other issues
Night Shift has some great visuals. The opening shot with the facehugger in the foreground was gorgeous. And perhaps my favourite shot out of all of the anniversary shorts. I also liked the unique setting of a colony store. Acting was all very strong, aside from our female lead, Rolly, which is a bit of a downer. Also really appreciated the Aspen Beer easter egg. Very nice touch!Unfortunately, this short out of all of them is plagued with the most problems. Beyond the short itself initially suffering from sound problems upon release, the sound design was quite weak as a whole. Specifically, the sound effects they used when beating an Alien to death with a bat sounded, quite frankly, awful.
Also, the character of Welles, despite being played very well by the actor, seemingly has the worst aim. First he can’t shoot a chestburster point blank without shooting Chris Murray in the neck, and then misses all subsequent shots, somehow hitting the lights too despite not even aiming at them. I can suspend my disbelief but as I said, very contrived.
Ultimately, despite a strong start, it basically becomes a worse version of the previous short ‘Alien Containment’, with characters trapped in a room with a Chestburster, except that Containment was aware of its tight budget and opted not to show the creature, whereas Night Shift has a full on goofy body shot of the alien rushing the lead. Overall, a good effort, but probably the worst short of the bunch.
Not the best
The acting was all good, but the terror of the creature is not so much. I prefer instant death when an alien burst out from your body, because it’s been like that for 40 years since Alien…. and why the alien is more of a belly burster than a chestburster. I can understand about Aliens Vs. Predator – Requiem when it comes to belly bursters because the Predalien was impregnating more than one “egg” in a host, which the chest cannot fit all in, so the Predalien insert them in the stomach. But in this film, there was only one chestburster, so it should burst out from the chest with enormous gore…. and once again, I don’t the a chestburster would fight back, they will run, hide and only come out when they’re fully grown.
