Danny Boyle’s feature film directorial debut is a sly, sinister crime thriller about three close friends who discover their new roommate’s dead body, along with a suitcase full of cash. Faced with a moral dilemma, the trio agrees to dispose of the corpse and keep the money — a decision which leads them on a haunting journey that will test the limits of trust, loyalty, paranoia and greed.

Critics Consensus: This black-humored thriller features characters who are more obnoxious than clever. During the second half, the movie descends into gratuitous violence.

Reviews

Fiction Machine

Grant Watson

It presents a funny comedy that shifts into a bleakly amusing criminal caper, before descending into what is more or less a home invasion thriller.

It is not the narrative that is so new, but the way it is told.

Offering up such unlikable characters without apology is a risky move, but one that Shallow Grave manages to pull off.

Danny Boyle does wonders with a small budget, and the suave, dense-hued look of his movie stays with you long after the horror has evaporated.

Independent on Sunday

Quentin Curtis

What makes the film fascinating, and exciting, is its marriage of British setting and American, B-movie format. It is as if Edgar G Ulmer or Robert Siodmak had been reborn in Scotland.
