A sickly taxi driving vampire seeks the perfect soul mate.
8 September 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Graveyard Shift (1987) is a cheesy movie about a love sick vampire named Stephen who drives a cab at night to pay the bills. When he's not attending to his posse of the living dead, he's pining his attention on a terminally ill woman named Michelle (Helen Papas) who has struck his fancy. Looking like death warmed over, this wimpy looking vampire dresses all in black and cruises for fares and victims. But poor Stephen can't seem to get his dream girl out of his mind.

Eventually the two hook up. Michelle's off again on again boyfriend doesn't take to kindly to this interloper. One time he catches Stephen in her room and threatens to wake him up from his daytime coma by pulling the curtains!! Too bad he didn't because it would have be interesting. The vampire's world collapses when the cuckolded boyfriend puts two-and-two together. He has the cops raid his hang out. To his horror her finds his woman about to be snacked on. by Stephen. Weeks later there's a new cabbie on the beat dressed in black working the night shift. It's Michelle living out her life as a vampire. I guess she's working the night shift as well.

Slightly recommended.,
