not to be confuse with the british black comedy of the same name that come out in 1994. but this shallow grave be a worthy addition to the 80 backwoods slasher . the plot go equal 4 sorority girl from a convent be plan the spring break of a lifetime in florida and but theyre plan be put on hold when one of them witness a man murder a local woman and and when he realize that he be see and well let just say it become a deadly game of cat and mouse and thing get even bad when he turn out to be the local sheriff . shallow grave in my opinion be one of the more enjoyable slasher that come out in the 80 and especially the late 80 which be when the slasher kinda go downhill and this be one of the few that do not and this movie should be more well know and it a pity it isn not . this be one film that actually confound stereotype ( just try guess who the final girl be go to be i get it totally wrong ) . the principle cast be all likable and it one of those movie that you kinda hope they all get away and which of course they do not . this and couple with the fluffiness of the film first half an hour jar ( in a good way ) with some flash of real nastiness ( the second murder provide a real jolt ) and some unexpected sleaziness ( even though this isn not a high budget thriller i do not expect the topless scene where a woman be strangle with her own bra ( accompany by a hysterical religious radio broadcast ) and in a film from this late in the 80 ) . there be one or two bad thing about this movie and well not bad just minor and like the sub plot with the two teenage boy which doesn not go anywhere and the end which be stupid and plus the deputy inability to follow logic . there aren not any sharp implement in shallow grave but and to my mind at least and it a slasher flick through and through . the scene where the girl be hunt through the wood by the malevolent sheriff be tense and excite . all in all a very enjoyable and worthwhile slasher and with great performance from all four of the main girl and that psycho sheriff .
