ATLANTA — Vampire hunting movies are a special subgenre of vampire films. Even a former U.S. president got into the act in 2012′s “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.”
In the case of Netflix’s new comedy/horror/action flick “Day Shift,” the vampire killers are blue-collar workers who have a union like plumbers and pest control workers.
Jamie Foxx is the protagonist with the odd name Bud Jablonski, a struggling San Fernando Valley vampire hunter who was booted out of the union for going rogue one too many times. While pool cleaning is his cover, he actually hunts down vampires and takes out their fangs to sell on the black market, sort of like poachers killing elephants for their tusks.
