With Danny Boyle's vast amount of highly critically acclaimed films such as Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire, his first film has become a underestimated masterpiece.
The film follows three flatmates who come across the dead body of new flatmate Henry. The three decide to bury his body and not tell anybody when they see his suitcase is filled with money. The deed starts to affect all three of the very different characters as they succumb to guilt and greed.Christopher Eccleston really stands out here as a quiet accountant David. His transformation is creepy and somewhat saddening as he seems to lose his identity completely. The film is filled with tense moments that will keep you riveted and waiting for how it all turns out.
Shallow Grave is the unsung triumph of Danny Boyle. It's smaller than his other films and mostly filmed in one location, but the story is cleverly played out with violence and character progression woven into it.
*****Brilliant
