<p>In the tense, single-location horror of "Closing Shift," a routine night descends into a desperate fight for survival. [c=Ilia Jones] stars as a young employee working the final hours at a seemingly ordinary retail store, her mundane tasks overseen by a manager played by [c=Thomas Nash Tetterton]. As the last customers, including characters portrayed by [c=Kendra Stout] and [c=Keagen Kermode], trickle out, an unsettling quiet settles over the empty aisles. This calm is violently shattered when a malevolent presence, embodied by [c=Carter Bentley], makes itself known, trapping the small crew inside. Directed by [c=M-Alain Bertoni], the film masterfully builds a claustrophobic atmosphere where every shadow and distant sound becomes a source of dread. The staff, including [c=Cassidy Petrykowski] and [c=Grayce Anne Mosier], must navigate the darkened store, using their wits and limited resources to evade a threat that seems to know the building better than they do. This gripping thriller transforms a familiar, everyday environment into a labyrinth of terror, exploring how quickly normalcy can unravel when the lights go out and you are no longer alone.</p>
