Shallow Grave - 1994 * *


What's a little murder between friends?
This is apparently a cult classic. One that people really connect with and find something different in each time. I felt the total opposite. I can't actually believe this is by the same bloke who directed the brilliantly absurd and bizarre Trainspotting. He was obviously having a slump.
Ewan McGregor is annoying, Christopher Eccleston is annoying and Kerry Fox is probably the most annoying of them all.
3 Friends want to find a housemate to help them pay their bills and accordingly they find someone who they think is the perfect candidate. Except on the 1st morning they find him dead, sprawled naked on his bed. And then they find the money. Sounds like a good idea for a movie but it's dreadfully executed and really uninspiring. Not a cult classic. Not even a classic.
