Like a Hitchcockian character piece, Shallow Grave introduces us to three folks who think they're wonderful people until a large sum of money comes between them and exposes them as the monsters they are. The plot is pretty simple but the character dissection and study isn't. There's not a whole lot of background for the characters, mostly due to the quick pace and short running time, but they are so well cast you feel like you're already quite familiar with them. A very promising start to Boyle's flourishing career.

It’s been years since I watched this. It was the first of Boyle's I ever bought on dvd.
