Synopsis

Close friends and roommates Alex Law, David Stephens and Juliet Miller - a newspaper writer, accountant and physician respectively - are looking for a fourth to share their Edinburgh flat. They revel in the condescending and cruel manner they treat the people they interview as that fourth in their general feeling of superiority. On Juliet's suggestion, they settle on Hugo as their new roommate.

Shortly after Hugo moves in, they discover him in his locked bedroom not only naked and dead, but with a suitcase full of money. Individually agreeing to varying degrees, they, after debating the matter, decide as a collective to hide Hugo's supposed suicide, disposing his body - not before dismembering him of important parts for Juliet to destroy using her medical access so that he can't be identified if the body is discovered - and any evidence of Hugo ever having been their roommate, they believing that a "f***-up" like him wouldn't have any friends or family, all done so that they can keep the money.

Their plan has the potential to unravel if their assumption that no one would be looking for Hugo are incorrect and/or if the relationship between the three flatmates changes from one of BFFs to every man for himself in either self-interest and/or paranoia over the situation, real or imagined.

2/10

The soundtrack of Shallow Grave failed to capture the intensity and suspense of the storyline. It lacked depth and failed to enhance the overall atmosphere of the film.

Melissa Mitchell

5/10

On the other hand, I felt that some tracks in the soundtrack of Shallow Grave were a bit repetitive and did not offer much variation in mood or tone. While the music successfully set the mood for the film, I wished for a bit more diversity in the musical themes to better reflect the complexity of the characters and their evolving relationships. Overall, the soundtrack was effective in creating a chilling ambiance, but could have benefited from more diversity in its composition.

I found the soundtrack of Shallow Grave to be a perfect complement to the dark and intense atmosphere of the film. The music helped to build tension and suspense, enhancing the sense of unease throughout the story. The use of eerie tones and haunting melodies added an extra layer of depth to the already gripping narrative.
