Here are some customer reviews of Shallow Grave : Better than "A Simple Plan" or "Heart of Darkness". This flick takes a look at just how bad human beings can be to one another when money is involved. Well acted, well directed, well shot. It doesn't get any better than this! Danny Boyle has made a remarkable masterpiece titled "Shallow Grave". It's the best thriller made in a long time. Disturbing for its violent content at times, Shallow Grave provides what it's supposed to. Very haunting soundtrack works well with the amazing cinematography. Love this movie! A must see!! Through a series of appalling social, disturbingly violent, and increasingly psychopathic events this film peels the veneer of each character to his or her base nature. Visually stunning (the flat is to die for) Shallow Grave is creepy intelligence. It will stay with you until you must watch it again. Shallow Grave tells the story of three young adults who live together in a small apartment. They are looking for another person to live with them. And they find one...and one day, they find him dead...they are about to call the police when they discover their friend's little secret...a suitcase full of green bills...You know the rest; they hide the body and they keep the money without saying anything to anyone. Admit it, you would have done the same thing...and you'd probably be in the same grave...but a near ton of money isn't a gift from "God"...and two criminals are looking for the dead guy and the money, so they finally find the address of the apartment and attack our three friends...but they loose the fight...and there are two more corpses to hide...This film shows how far people can go for money. It's also a lesson about friendship. The atmosphere is freaky and will make you insane. This film is full of surprising twists too (especially at the end). The way people react is just disturbing, and the way the whole film is shot is just scary. Bravo to Danny Boyle...the actors are amazing too; they are all freaky, they all give excellent performances. Some scenes are intense and macabre instead of stupidly violent (like Scream). Is that my favorite Danny Boyle picture? Let me think.....well.....nn.....yes. It is. It's hard to choose between Trainspotting and Shallow Grave, but Shallow Grave is the happy winner. Very good. I'm surprised this film didn't get more attention. Trainspotting got a lot of press and was good, but this is better. The momentum ranges from fast to slow, but there's so much eye candy, you stay glued to the screen wanting more. The plot twists are equally amazing. I saw this movie with 10 people and no one guessed the ending (at least not all of it)-and the ending was great, which is hard to pull off with a plot this bizarre. In general, I don't like violence, but it's so important to the story that it works well. This is a fascinating but spooky movie! Don't expect to feel reaffirmed that humans are wonderful, but if you like to think and want something different, expect to enjoy this movie entirely and want to see it again and again.
