Shallow Grave is directed by Danny Boyle, the genius behind Trainspotting. Shallow Grave is about three friends, who live in the same apartment and try to study and work normally. They want to find one person to fill the room that is empty in their apartment, and soon they find the right one. However, one day something horrific happens and the friends find something very interesting in the new tenant's room. After this incident, their friendship starts to change and weird murders appear. I won't tell you more about the story as this must be seen without knowing too much about it. I hope others have not spoilt you and disturbed your viewing experience. This film is about themes of friendship and greed and greed for money especially. Which one is more important, huge amount of money or a true friend? Ewan McGregor's voice at the end of the film tells us everything what the main character learned about life and these things throughout the film. This is pretty mean spirited and too much for others, because there are so many mean characters and some graphic and gory violence in Shallow Grave and everyone will not tolerate that. After all, this is very important film and gives us some difficult questions and something to think about. A human being can easily been seduced and once it has happened, everything the one has kept important may not be that anymore and the person's set of values has changed.. Technically Shallow Grave is very great and effectively scary. There are great camera movements and angles and weird ways to use camera. Music is okay but nothing too special, in my opinion. The atmosphere is pretty disturbing and this should have been enjoyed in the big screen. The real skills of this director are visible more completely in Trainspotting, a masterful drama about the world of drugs, also starring Ewan McGregor. The scenes in forest are especially spooky and as a horror thriller, Shallow Grave is very noteworthy. There are, unfortunately, couple of scenes or characters' reactions, that I couldn't tolerate and that affects to the rating a little bit. The youngsters act sometimes stupidly and are too irritating. And the other fault in this film is that the clues for the gangsters to find these youngsters are not explained and all seems to happen too easily. But these are not too dangerous considering the great horror and cinematic elements of the film. I was waiting a little too much I think, because I had read many praising reviews about this film but still, I'm definitely not disappointed, even though the film could have been closer to perfection. 7/10

A more proper title would be Shallow production. This is one of those low budget British movies with uneven storytelling and poor production. The movie was a little to avant garde for my tastes. The plot was good but not well presented.

Immediately they should have hidden the money. Then call the police about the body. Then when all the investigating is over split the money. And each goes their own way. Until they meet again all prosperous. But apart from that it was a tight all suspenseful movie. Never undermine anybody! Thing is my way would not have got that guy all messed up. Love the snappy humor. Could they not have chopped the body up together? Done pieces in turns maybe? Share the responsibility. My favorite part was when under questioning the chick was asked whether she remembers people by their faces or names best. And being a nurse she says "diseases". Then the investigator says that just like her he recalls people's behavior by their crimes. I do recommend this movie.

There's so much potential here. Micro cast, paranoia, detective work. But not much really happens. All the elements feel truncated into a little film, one that lacks any likeable characters. It's fun in places, and is somewhat of its time - I just wanted to see a bit more interplay of the untangling of main cast. We can all get paranoid quickly given wealth opportunities. And as for the casting choice. Two of the main cast look almost identical! As a low budget early flick, it's all well and great - it just feels like a string of snapshots.

Was totally intrigued by this film. A very interesting plot.

A good film overall. From Davids decline into utter madness to the murder cover up they didn't even commit. Three flat mates have to deal with a death in their flat and the people that want to come after what that person had on them. Its a cool thriller and the pacing is well done as often is the case with Danny boyle movies. The cast was great as well and overall a pretty good thriller.

A Film such as Shallow Grave is a film that intrigues you in one scene then in the next you find yourself asking this question, Why am I watching this film? It really is mind blowing how unbalanced the film really is. The thing that get's to me is how Christopher Eccleston's character can change so much. one minute he's taking part in hiding a body next minute he's in a loft drilling holes in the celling because he doesn't trust his 'friends'. What the film could of improved on is a tad bit more of an explanation for and to help the development of Christopher Eccleston's character. See it for what it's worth. It's a good crime/Thriller that won't leave you on the edge of your seat but it provides a few good laughs.

Danny Boyle's Shallow Grave (1994) is such a solid directorial debut, it's a black comedy almost a Neo-noir story of three Edinburgh flatmates, Juliet (Kerry Fox), David (Christopher Eccleston) and Alex (Ewan McGregor) who are looking for a new roommate while sharing mealtimes watching The Wicker Man. They find the roommate Hugo, but then one day they discover he's dead and find a suitcase with a large sum of money. The three decide to keep the money and chop up his body and bury the bits. They dispose Hugo's corpse in the titular shallow grave which opens the door for police investigation. It's dark and thrilling with one of the darkest views of human nature. I've always liked Shallow Grave's ending and it's entertaining, but at the same time it's dark too, all to the soundtrack of the Andy Williams 'Happy Heart'. Danny Boyle's debut is his best film till date and the script is razor sharp, you'll be rewarded with a laughter, sadness and at times palpable tension.

This singular Shallow Grave, first feature for Danny Boyle and the first of his three collaborations with Ewan McGregor, already showed in 1994 all the potential of the English director. The premise, everybody imagined at least once, is relatively simple but the script of this tragedy unfolds in an implacable way from start to finish, in an intriguing and heavy atmosphere that captivates the viewer. The characters composing this trio are complementary and each evolve differently until the ultra cynical final outcome punctuated with an unsuspected mini twist. However, the movie could be blamed for what also makes its strength, which is his absurd aspect maybe a bit too absurd. Moreover, the editing could have deserved a bit more coherence.
