Netflix has officially given us a full trailer for its highly anticipated action-horror flick Day Shift which hails from martial arts and stunt pro turned director J.J. Perry. The undead is about to get a swift kick in the ass so check out the footage and key art below seeing that it’s made by the same insanely talented people that taught John Wick how to kick ass!

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.

Foxx stars along with an eclectic cast that includes Snoop Dogg (Bones), Scott Adkins (Accident Man), Dave Franco (The Disaster Artist), Meagan Good (Monster Hunter), Karla Souza (How to Get Away with Murder), Eric Lange (Narcos), Zion Broadnax (Holly Day), Natasha Liu Bordizzo (The Society), Oliver Masucci (The Swarm), Steve Howey (Shameless), and C.S. Lee (Dexter).

I’m just curious to see how Adkins is utilized here as John Wick helmer Chad Stahelski is producing the film along with Jason Spitz via the 87Eleven Entertainment production banner. I’m positive Adkins will dazzle with his trademark action because of who’s involved behind the camera. I am a little disappointed that we haven’t seen him do anything and we only see him for a second here. I know it’s not an Adkins led project but I’m sure Perry gave my man moments to shine.

The above trailer shows off intense, raw footage and we get a good look at some of the vampires that look downright evil and grotesque at the same time. Another draw for me is that they’re using practical stunts and effects just like in the 80’s and 90’s so it’ll have that throwback feel to it as well.

Day Shift prepares for unholy combat on Netflix on August 12!
