Shallow Grave

I became interested in this thing the IFC channel was doing where they showed Pulp Indies Fri-Sat nights during the summer. I saw Blade Runner (a favorite) because of Pulp Indies. And so, I loaded a list and Shallow Grave was on it. Even better, I saw that Ewan McGregor was in it. So, I gave this a shot.

It was mildly disappointing. I thought it'd be a great look into the characters of people living together who bury a roommate and lie about his death and try to make money off of it, etc. This is a movie that is what it is. It's not an exemplary film at all. And after I was done or even 30 min. before this was over, I found myself saying "Why?" Why should I care?
