One of the best storyline thrillers ever! SHALLOW GRAVE is an outstanding mean spirited, cold-blooded stylish thriller that will knock you off your seat! 3 roommates, a new tenant who dies leaving behind a briefcase full of a whole lot of money. What to do? Who killed him? A great modern thriller with constantly growing tension, sly humor, and genuinely surprising plot twists. By the end credits, you’ll be smiling in disbelief. I guarantee it. It’s stunning! You will be mesmerized. And horrified and shocked and aghast and bewildered.
To avoid spoiling the movie this plot summary is very brief. It starts when three people living together in a four bedroom flat are looking for a house mate. The interviews they conduct are very unorthodox and very funny. Eventually the three agree on one prospective tenant. He moves in, locks his door, and is not seen again. After a couple of days the three become curious and break in to his room. What follows is an amazing piece of cinema and to say more would ruin it.
