Movie Description
After three roommates finally choose a new roommate they think they can live with, they find him dead on the floor with a suitcase full of cash. While trying to remove the body and extricate themselves from the situation, they wade hip-deep into a world of drugs, greed and madness. A delightfully circuitous, nailbiting, and unpretentious noir, with the murder as a MacGuffin--director Boyle, who gained more acclaim across the Atlantic with follow-up TRAINSPOTTING, is more interested in the gradual psychological disintegration of the roommates.

Editorial Reviews
"...Glittering, deadpan, nihilistic....Weirdly thrilling..."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (03/17/1995)

"...A tar-black comedy that zings along on a wave of visual and scripting inventiveness....[The] playing and casting are strong down the line..."
Variety - Derek Elley (05/30/1994)

"...Mr. Boyle's nasty ingenuity recalls the playful early days of the Coen brothers....As a tale of death and expediency, SHALLOW GRAVE also invites comparison to Alfred Hitchcock..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (02/10/1995)

    Shallow Grave is quite possibly my favorite movie. It's full of wit, humor, unbelievable acts...did I mention it stars Ewan McGregor?

    This is one of those movies with such a crazy twist you never saw coming! At times the Scottish actors' accents are so thick you feel you need subtitles, but even so, you never miss a beat on what's going on.

    I'll sum up this movie's plot by using the first and last sentence of the movie, "If you can't trust your friends, well, what then?".

    I highly recommend you go out and rent it today. The ending will make you cheer!
