Shallow Grave

Dödsleken
Juliet, David och Alex märker att deras nya, ensliga rumskamrat inte har lämnat sitt sovrum på flera dagar. När de sparkar in dörren till rummet hittar de en människa som dött av en överdos och en väska full med pengar. De bestämmer sig för att behålla pengarna och är då väl medvetna om att de måste göra sig av med liket. Men en slarvigt grävd grav leder polisen tillbaka till de tre. Deras vänskap sätts nu på prov – för alltid!
Despite its very hoaky, cheesy beginning the film gets quite serious and tense quickly after. It's not a film that's going for realism or logic but rather a near Shakespearean level of melodrama revolving around a triangular love core. The twists and emotional changes are large and sweeping. It's equally parts disturbing and also oddly comedic at times. It's an examination on how one instance of violence can completely warp a relationship and alter a person's psyche. And by the end you'll be wondering if the shallow grave might actually refer to those who are living as well.
