A Rookie Cop's First Shift Alone in a Police Station Turns Into a Living Nightmare

Welcome back to Movie Recaps.  Today I will show you a horror, mystery film from 2014, titled Last Shift. Spoilers ahead!

Watch out and take care. Outside of a police station, Jessica is sitting  in her patrol and talking to her mom on the phone. Her mom is worried that she's become a police  officer like her dad, who died on duty.

She doesn't want to talk about that on her first  day of work so she ends the conversation. Jessica enters the station with a bit of  hesitation. There seems to be no one there so she goes inside to look.

She hears some noises  and sees a man in the distance, cursing. Jessica speaks to him, but he tells her to turn around  and stop. When he eventually walks over to her, he introduces himself as Sgt.

Cohen. He tells her  that this isn't the new station, but the old one. She was the lucky rookie to work the last shift  there.

Cohen explains that all the calls have already been rerouted to the new station. She  may have some walk-ups that she should send his way. In case of an emergency, she should  call the station.

Cohen shows her the kitchen, but tells her not to go into holding. Jessica asks  him why she's there instead of a security guard. He explains that she has to be there because  she needs to take care of the evidence.

Hazmat will come to the station sometime during  the night to dispose of it. He orders her not to leave the premises and tells her that he'll  relieve her when her shift is over. Later, Jessica is reading a book and almost falls asleep. 

Suddenly, she notices something wrong with one of the lights in the hallway, when the phone rings.  She gets a distress call from a woman saying that she's trapped and that all of the people with her  might be dead. When she asks for the address the woman hangs up.

Jessica immediately calls the new  station. Since she didn't obtain the necessary information from the caller, they just tell her  that they'll check on the call and if the calls have been properly rerouted. She hears something  in holding and walks over to check it, thinking that it might be Cohen.

Jessica reaches the place  where the sounds of banging are coming from, but finds nothing there. Later, she eats her  lunch in the kitchen and finds a long strain of hair inside her sandwich. Suddenly, there's  a knock on the front doors, but when she goes to check there is no one outside.

When she turns  around, there is someone inside the station. Jessica tells him to leave the station  and sees that he's peeing on the floor. She takes out her baton and tries to communicate  with him, but when that doesn't go anywhere she chases him out.

Jessica cleans the station and  after that goes to the bathroom to wash her hands. She hears weird noises in the pipes and sees a  pair of boots. Jessica leaves them outside for the homeless man.

When she comes back inside,  she hears another noise. She finds one of the bathrooms completely wrecked, then goes through  to the station gym and into the locker room. One of the lockers still has a key in it and she  opens it up, only to find a photograph inside of her and her father.

She closes the locker and sees  that all of the others have been opened. Suddenly, there's another call. It's the same woman begging  for help.

Jessica gets her name and she tells her that she has been taken on a ranch, then hangs  up again. There is another call instantly, but this time it's the waste removal company.  The man tells her that they will be running a little late.

Jessica calls the new station  again and tells them about the second call. They say that the girl isn't calling 911, but the  station directly. And if she calls again Jessica should tell her to call 911.

Jessica continues  to read the handbook, waiting for another call, when suddenly the raft behind her starts to move.  She checks it, though she finds nothing wrong. As soon as she sits down it unrolls again and rams  into the other rafts.

Jessica hears another noise out back and follows up on it. She sees that one  of the doors has been opened and hears another noise inside, so she calls it in before she goes  to investigate. The only thing she gets back from the station is a song.

There's another  noise and an alarm turns on in the station. Jessica is reciting lines from the handbook as  she approaches the site where the sound came from. She goes into a trashed room and when a box  almost falls on her, she sees that the homeless man has entered the facility.

He's looking  for something not paying attention to her so she climbs up to get him. She incapacitates him  and arrests him. Jessica takes him to holding, but he keeps resisting her so she drags him in. 

The doors slam shut and the sounds of screaming can be heard outside. The man assaults her and she  stuns him. Jessica realizes that she's locked in the cell and calls for someone to open the door.

A  strange face appears on the window, scaring her to drop the flashlight. Suddenly, the homeless man  has the flashlight and he's aiming it at her. She reminds him that she's armed.

The flashlight  lights the corner to reveal the homeless man still unconscious. Jessica asks who's in there  with them. A child's voice can be heard.

She bangs on the door again and the voice asks  her if she wants to get out of there alive. Jessica asks for her flashlight, then everything  goes dark again and two figures are seen next to her. The lights come back on and the cell  door is open.

She goes out and locks the prisoner in, then tries to calm herself down. Later, Jessica calls Cohen and when he doesn't answer she leaves him a message, but doesn't  tell him what happened. She pushes back to try and relax, but sees the word SOW etched out on the  ceiling.

When she checks the doors of the station, she sees a woman outside and tells her to leave.  Marigold asks to finish her cigarette there, because she feels safer and Jessica  lets her. Before she walks inside, Marigold says that she can tell she's a rookie. 

She tells her that she was in a cell next to the Paymon murderers that killed themselves in the  station, who had kidnapped and slaughtered some girls. Jessica knows about the case because her  father got killed on the scene of the crime and she knows that the criminals died there too.  Marigold insists that they brought them back alive to the station and she could hear them  sing some weird song in the cell next to her.

They hung themselves with their bed sheets.  Marigold finishes her smoke and leaves Jessica speechless. She patrols the station and finds a  switched on TV.

The TV plays a police interview with the Paymon brother that had committed the  heinous crime mentioned. Two other TV's come on, playing interviews with the Paymon sisters. John  Paymon is seen in a flashback, talking about the devil.

The flashback of the interviews continues  with the sisters, both saying similar things. John makes an absurd threat on the recording,  as if he could be speaking right to Jessica. Suddenly, one of the chairs swings over to her and  for a moment it looks like someone is sitting on it.

It keeps on doing that until it knocks Jessica  over. The phone rings and she rushes to answer. It's the same girl saying that the other girls  have been killed.

The people that have done that keep singing the same song that Marigold told her  about. Jessica tries to make the girl call 911, but she tells her that she can't, so Jessica  tells her to run and hide. Before the call ends, Jessica asks the girl if she's heard the name  John Paymon and she says that she has.

Jessica has started connecting some of the dots, so she calls  the new station again and conveys all the details of the call with the girl. She tells the officer  on the other side of the call that she thinks that the remaining members of the Paymon family might  have her. He laughs and tells her that all of them are in custody under constant police supervision. 

He gives her the number of a police report and tells her to reference that report number when she  calls again if she gets any more information. She thanks him and hangs up. All of a sudden she hears  whistling from the other side of the station.

Jessica checks on a room with some office chairs,  but gets distracted by more noise. When she looks back, the chairs have been completely rearranged.  Jessica has had enough and thinks that the other police officers are playing a trick on her because  she's a rookie.

Suddenly, the bell of the station rings and when she goes to check, there is one  officer there. She begins asking him if it was just him that played the prank on her or were  there others as well. He doesn't seem to know what she's talking about.

Jessica asks if they play  that same trick with other rookies as well. He introduces himself as Price and he tells her that  he just came to check up on her. Price asks her to let him in.

They walk inside the station together  and chat. She thinks that someone made him check up on her. But when he asks her how her shift  is going she tells him about the homeless man.

He laughs and says that he's had worse than that,  with one perp defecating all over his police car once. Jessica relaxes a bit and he tells her that  he actually came to check up on her because he knew her father. She asks him if he was with him  that night.

Price tells her how it all went down. They arrived early at the scene, but they  could hear the girls begging for their lives. The two of them went inside without back  up and her father held the Paymon's off, while he managed to get some of the girls out. 

He tells her that two officers died there, including her father. Price says that her dad was  a good cop and that he'd be very proud of her. When he turns around she sees a massive hole in  his head and as he walks by the window outside, he vanishes.

Jessica goes to check where he went  and calls after him. Suddenly, she hears voices coming from all around the station. Circling her. 

Suddenly she sees a body being moved inside the hallway. It begins to levitate and it moves in an  unnatural way. Jessica hides for a moment, pulls out her gun and when she steps out to check if the  man is still there, he's gone.

All of a sudden, she hears the homeless man screaming in his cell.  He begs to be let out of there and when she asks him what's wrong, he steps aside and shows her  the three ghosts in his cell. Jessica keeps saying that it isn't real.

The man cries and pleads with  her not to leave him in there. She hears the song again and when she reaches the place where it's  coming from, she sees a group of girls sitting in a circle and singing. The ghost girls turn around  to face her with bloody sheets on their faces, while their reflections look normal.

The  door shuts behind her and they disappear. Jessica hears another racket outside and goes  to the evidence room. She finds it completely trashed, with some male clothes placed out in the  center.

Jessica runs over to the phone and calls Cohen. He asks her why she's calling him and she  tells him that she thinks she's seeing things. Jessica doesn't think she'll be able to finish  her shift.

Cohen belittles her about being afraid and asks her again if she'll be there by the  end of the shift. Before he hangs up, he tells her not to call him again. She calls the waste  disposal company to ask when they will be there.

When the man tells her that he's not sure,  she tells him that she'll be waiting for them outside in her squad car. Jessica leaves the  station, but the phone rings so she rushes inside. It's the girl again telling her that she's  escaped.

She tells Jessica that she sees some kind of sign and Jessica keeps her on the  line while calling dispatch from her cell phone. The girl says that she knows that she's going to  die and Jessica asks her if there is something she could use as a weapon. She disconnects again. 

Jessica calls the new station and references the number that was given to her earlier. The  same officer picks up the phone and tells her that the girl that has been calling the station  is dead. Jessica can't believe it.

The officer tells her that she was the last Paymon victim  and was beaten to death with a bat. He says that maybe some of the members in the Paymon commune  might have avoided capture and is paying a sick joke on her or it might be ghosts. The officer  tells her that the Paymon's killed themselves in the station and that ever since then there have  been strange things happening in the station.

A photograph drops behind Jessica and she hangs  up the phone. It's a postmortem photo of her dad. She sees more photos on the ground from the  Paymon crime scene of the girls that died there.

There is also one of Price. Jessica closes her  eyes for a moment hoping it will go away, but when she opens her eyes the photos are arranged  neatly in the hallway. Jessica hears screams inside her mind as the mug shots from the Paymon  family are seen.

Suddenly, the photo's catch fire. Jessica wakes up on the hallway floor to her phone  ringing. Her mom is on the other line, saying that she's sorry for bringing up her father. 

Jessica notices her gun is missing. Suddenly, she sees someone in the hallway and when she  follows them, she gets knocked out. She wakes in an interview room with a woman.

Jessica isn't sure  what's real anymore. The woman tells her that she would do anything for John Paymon and that it was  her that he should've taken with him that night. She asks Jessica if she's seen him there and tells  her that she has too.

Then the woman says that she's there to celebrate the one year anniversary  of his death and kills herself with Jessica's gun. The phone rings again and Jessica walks by  the body, takes her holster and her gun back, then gets to it. It's the same girl on the  phone.

When Jessica tells her that she's dead, the girl starts laughing and the sound of the  bat hitting her can be heard over the phone. The sound continues around Jessica and when she  looks under her desk, she sees the girl's ghost. Jessica hides in the rafts and the ghost follows,  searching for her.

She finds Jessica and tells her that she doesn't want to die. The ghost vanishes  and Jessica runs to the door, wanting to get out. She can't unlock the door, nor shoot her way out. 

Her phone rings. Her dad is calling. He tells her that she's driven like him, but asks her why she's  trying to leave when he gave his life for the job.

Jessica apologizes, saying she won't. He tells  her that the man that killed him is still in the building and that she needs to do something  about it. The homeless man suddenly walks past by her.

She asks him how he got out and tells him  to get down. When she goes to cuff him, he turns into an apparition. Jessica checks the homeless  man's cell, only to find him dead.

The words "King of hell" are written on the walls. Jessica  tries to call the new station for assistance, but she gets only static on her radio, then a  scream and the song again. Blood comes out of the radio and a ghost appears next to her.

She  sees a projection of the Paymon's doing some kind of ritual in their cell and then killing  themselves. Johns turns toward Jessica and takes off the sheet. The ghosts are suddenly next to her  and on the projection as well.

Price appears as well and shoots himself. John almost gets her, but  she finds a photo of her father and recites parts of the law enforcement codex. Her dad calls her  again and tells her that they're coming.

He says she needs to stop them, whatever it takes. A few  men in hoods appear and she shoots at them. They tell her to come and find them.

Jessica searches  for them and ends up in the evidence room. She hears them again and goes after. Jessica  shoots one and continues after the others.

She takes out another one and incapacitates  another. He starts talking about the devil and she shoots that one as well. Suddenly, she gets  shot too.

Cohen appears behind her with his gun raised at her. She turns and sees that the man  she killed was from the waste disposal company. The real events play out in a flashback.

Jessica  can't believe it. She's killed all the guys from the company that were supposed to come and take  care of the evidence. Cohen calls the situation in, while Jessica sings the Paymon's song. 

The three Paymon ghosts appear and take her.
