The wages of avarice is death

There is still some time before Danny Paul was filming TRANSPOTTING, and this "Shallow Grave" made him show off. By the way, let EWAN MCGREGOR warm up the attention of the British audience.
The film begins with three yuppies living together to solicit co-living people. A stranger died in the house naked, leaving a box of money. The three discussed amputating his limbs, smashing his head and burying it in the forest to share the money. Then the underworld came to the door for wealth, and the three of them could no longer collect their hands at this time, and murdered for the wealth. After all, the paper couldn't contain the fire, and the matter was revealed. At this time, the three of them each had a ghost and wanted to take the money, killing you to death. The final ending is as subtle as Garage's "Two Big Smokers".

The protagonist of this play is a typical British middle class (journalists, doctors, accountants). Although they live together like relatives and friends, they cannot resist the temptation of money. Fighting strategy, heart, intelligence and strength are all windfalls from the sky. The plot is thrilling and the shooting technique is independent. Black humor permeates it. For example, the joyous BGM when three people go to the supermarket to buy corpse-cutting equipment. The dual narrative storyboard also has a strong sense of British CULT film. In addition, the creativity of the bright red background when the corpse was divided is also amazing.
