Entertainment Reviews:
...The whole thing is a hypnotic blend of mirth and malice...
Rolling Stone
Rating: 3/4 --
While it is not a great film, it is a good first film, amply demonstrating Boyle's catchy visual flair and rat-a-tat sense of tempo, as well as Hodge's ear for dialogue and intuitive sense of character dynamics

...A tar-black comedy that zings along on a wave of visual and scripting inventiveness....[The] playing and casting are strong down the line...
Variety
Rating: 2/4 --
Since no reasonable person can remotely hope to identity with Juliet, David or Alex, the whole case drops through.

...One of the most perverse sleepers since the Coen Brothers' BLOOD SIMPLE debut in 1984... -- 3 out of 4 stars

Rating: 3/10 --
I'm not surprised that in my youth I thought Shallow Grave was a pretty cool movie. What surprises me now is that the adults at the time gave this ridiculous movie a pass.

Class has its place, but some of us prefer our cut-'em-ups a little more lowdown.

Product Description:
After three roommates finally choose a new roommate they think they can live with, they find him dead on the floor with a suitcase full of cash. While trying to remove the body and extricate themselves from the situation, they wade hip-deep into a world of drugs, greed and madness. A delightfully circuitous, nailbiting, and unpretentious noir, with the murder as a MacGuffin--director Boyle, who gained more acclaim across the Atlantic with follow-up TRAINSPOTTING, is more interested in the gradual psychological disintegration of the roommates.
