Seriously what a garbage movie. Everything foul about humanity except rape and nudity can be seen here. Sweat, rats, poor working conditions, a repugnant boss hostile to his workers, filthy work environment, rat on a plate for the "college boy", guys who grab waitresses in the bar talking doing it doggy style, riveting back story about what the "VC" did not soldiers using rats (Dourif in a monologue so intense he sheds tears), slingshot cans knocking rats for a loop, giant winged rat bat that eats human workers, and the boss offering "privileges" to the female employees for a little in return. The boss nearly punches out a girl he enraged after butchering his ride with an ax right in front of the workers before college boy stays his hand. Oh, and besides the army of rats, the mill is located near a sinking cemetery. Still when people lit up their smokes while guzzling their Michelobs, and rat hair found its way into the chowder, this is when OSHA and anti-nicotene campaigns weren't fussing about. Yeah, junk movie.
Good ole Castle Rock, Maine, has Bachman Mill and it's gloriously rat-infested hellhole. The heat, hanging trash, flooding water, basement junkyard, water hose blasting, Fourth of July cleanup featuring those actors established in the movie, and giant rat bat hunting. That's Graveyard Shift (1990) in a nutshell.
