Day Shift (2022)

Bud Jablonski is a blue-collar father who provides for his family by hunting and killing vampires under the guise of being a pool cleaner.

Bud sees a man leaving the house containing his target. He silently breaks into the house, and encounters two vampires, an elderly woman and a younger man, whom he kills after a lengthy fight. Bud pulls out their fangs and tries to cash them in at a pawn shop, but scoffs at the offer of the owner Troy. To settle his money problems, he reluctantly considers returning to the vampire hunting union.

Bud enlists his old army friend, "Big" John Elliot, to help him rejoin the union. Due to Bud's history of code violations, union boss Ralph Seeger reluctantly allows him a trial period under two conditions: he works the day shift (which pays worse) and must be supervised by the union rep Seth, who is tasked to report any code violations.

Meanwhile, the corpses of the two vampires are found by the wealthy vampire Audrey. After an investigation, she ascertains that Bud is the one responsible. Before killing the witness Troy, Audrey muses that humans used to worship vampires as gods. She reveals her plan to restore the old order by establishing vampire colonies and create an army.

Bud and Seth go hunting, and despite Bud's several union protocol violations, Seth does not report them after learning of Bud's financial situation and need to support his family. After they find and destroy an unusual nest filled with several varieties of vampires, Audrey contacts Bud and threatens his family, revealing that the elderly vampire was her daughter. Bud rushes to his ex-wife to save her, while being pursued by vampires. However, she and his daughter are taken hostage by Audrey, and Seth is turned into a vampire. Bud and Seth recruit Bud's neighbor, an outcast vampire named Heather, to help them assault Audrey's stronghold.

At the stronghold, they are joined by Big John. During the fight, John gets bitten and chooses to sacrifice himself using an explosion to kill the guard vampires. Bud is physically overwhelmed by Audrey, but through a clever trick, he gains the upper hand, and kills her.

When Seeger arrives with the union and tries to kick Bud out, Seth uses his extensive knowledge of loopholes in the union's rules to prevent him from doing so. As the Jablonskis drive away, Big John climbs out of a manhole in the street, having survived the explosion.
