Shallow Grave

Summary: The best of all Danny Boyle films
Review: This movie has a dark witty tone and is in my opinion, the best of Danny Boyles movies, and one which is often overlooked. The vivid characters, rich in sinful traits of greed and envy, are easy to like and Boyle plays on the humour of that, as well as the visible downward spiral of their psychological wellbeing, climaxing to an unforgettable conclusion.

Summary: Best British film of all time
Review: Danny Boyle directs this fabulous film about 3 flatmates who find there new flatmate dead with a suitcase full of money . The film then becomes a superb thriller with many a laugh . The acting is superb by all three of the main stars and Kieth Allen (Hugo) is possibly the greatest actor to date . John Hodge's fabulous screenplay keeps you on the edge of your seat and a marvoluos contrast of characters and a surprise ending make it all the more enjoyable . One of the greatest films ever made . A film that shows just how much people can change .

Summary: great, Great, GREAT MOVIE!!!
Review: I first read a review of this movie in an "interesting-new-up-and-coming-actors-horror" review that included two other movies I've yet to find interest in... (This was Ewan BTS [Before Trainspotting - another instant classic by the same team.]) The first time I caught this movie was late-night Showtime and I fell in love with it on the spot - the acting, the attitude, the score, in a word, tremendous! So if you're searching for a flick you haven't seen and you like a little gothic Scottish film noir, this is the movie for YOU! Also, the soundtrack is fabulous - a fine mix of semi-classical piano, dance, and even a little Nina Simone. Pick it up!!

Summary: Human nature at it's worst!
Review: This surpising little film was very reminiscent of "Blood Simple" with it's dark humor and startling twists and turns. Every time anyone asks me to recommend a movie with a twist, I suggest this one! They are NEVER disappointed!

Summary: A sordid look into the darkness of the human species:
Review: 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!

Summary: If you like dismembering room mates the is the movie for u!
Review: Greed, murder, blood and the Scottish way of life reign over this movie. A tight group of 3 friends froth over the fact that a new room mate dies and leaves a suitcase full of cash. The friendship becomes strained after they have to cut his hands and feet off his body just to keep the money. In the climactic end, the greed over welms them and the ending is as shocking as the story to begin with.

Summary: Peels the veneer of each character to its base nature.
Review: 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.

Summary: A Gem

Summary: An amazing film!
Review: 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.

Summary: one of my favorites
Review: This is an excellent movie. I thought it was hilarious, and the plot twists keep you guessing until the end. The gore caught me off guard, but once you watch it a few times (which you'll want to do), you can see past it. (which sounds like a BAD thing, but you know what i mean)
