Netflix users praised the thrilling action film, with one person writing: "Well done @iamjamiefoxx and all cast members. Just finished watching it and it was a great distraction with all the craziness in this world. I'm a fan of your talent. Keep it up!" while another added: "Highly recommend #DayShift, now available on @NetflixUK. Really fun action and adventure vampire movie."

A third fan commented: "DAY SHIFT is great! So glad to see some fun vampire action. One of the best of its kind since FRIGHT NIGHT and THE LOST BOYS (with a killer nod to the latter at the end). Watch it!" while a third tweeted: "I woke up my toddler because I was laughing so hard during #DayShift. It's the most entertaining movie Netflix has ever done. Part hangout comedy, part slapstick cartoon, part action filmmaker mic drop."

Viewers praised the new vampire film

A third agreed, tweeting: "Just finished watching #DayShift on @NetflixUK starring @iamjamiefoxx and I really enjoyed it and I hope it gets a sequel."

For those yet to see the film, the official synopsis reads: "Jamie Foxx stars as a hard-working blue-collar dad who just wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted daughter, but his mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real source of income, hunting and killing vampires as part of an International Union of Vampire Hunters."

Jamie leads a star-studded cast which includes Dave Franco, Snoop Dogg and Scott Adkins.
