Shallow Grave

Shallow Grave is a 1994 British dark comedy crime film that marked the cinematic directorial debut of Danny Boyle with an original screenplay by John Hodge. The film also provided starring roles for the then relatively littleknown actors Ewan McGregor, Christopher Eccleston and Kerry Fox.

David Stephens Christopher Eccleston, a chartered accountant, Juliet Miller Kerry Fox, a physician, and Alex Law Ewan McGregor, a journalist, share a flat in Edinburgh. Needing a new flatmate, they interview several applicants in a calculatedly cruel manner to amuse themselves at the applicants distress before finally offering the room to the mysterious Hugo Keith Allen. Shortly after Hugo moves in, the trio find him dead in his room, with a large suitcase full of money. They agree to keep Hugos death a secret and keep the money for themselves. They agree to bury the body in the woods after removing the hands and feet to prevent identification should it be found. They draw lots and David is given the gruesome and traumatising task of dismembering the corpse, with Juliet disposing of the parts in her hospitals incinerator.Unknown to the three friends, Hugo is being sought by a pair of violent men who are torturing and murdering informants as they follow Hugos trail. The flat below Alex, David, and Juliets is broken into, causing them much apprehension and anxiety. The breakin also draws the attention of the police, who are surprised when the three deny that they ever had a fourth flatmate. While Juliet and Alex spend part of the money to feel better, Davids fears explode into fullblown paranoia. He hides the suitcase of money in the attic, and begins living there, drilling holes in the attic floor to watch the living space below. The relationship between the three becomes increasingly strained and distrustful, with undertones of sexual tension and rivalry. ........
