Snoop Dogg and Dave Franco help Jamie Foxx protect his neck in Netflix's sun-baked horror comedy 'Day Shift.'

Day Shift delivers a John Wick-style transfusion to the vampire genre

While it lacks any real emotional weight, the action is more than enough to make "Day Shift" an intriguing vampire flick.

Jamie Foxx and Dave Franco make for an unlikely and funny team in this comedic yet violent vampire thriller.

Snoop Dogg as a top vampire killer is the best part of this messy new Netflix movie, premiering Friday, Aug. 12.

Too bad dollar theaters don't really exist anymore, because this action-horror fest would be a hit there.

Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg and Dave Franco star in Netflix's vampire-hunter comedy.

“Day Shift” is about vampires, but it’s one of those Frankenstein-like movies stitched together from used parts, with Jamie Foxx as a family man version of Marvel’s Blade, mashed up with horror and buddy comedy. It’s the kind of star-driven vehicle that yields obvious benefits to Netflix even if, qualitatively speaking, it doesn’t deserve to see the light of day.

Day Shift is big on great action, low on almost everything else.
