I do have to say this movie almost got passed up. Gabrielle Anwar I haven't seen in awhile along with such others as Josh Charles and Craig Sheffer. Both Charles and Sheffer don't demand millions for a movie as there talent is offered to enjoy and not buy. The movie on the other hand also features Anthony Michael Hall in a good roll. Anthony Michael Hall really doesn't shine in some movies but in this one he showcases his talent perfectly. Now director Pete Hans knows how to work a script and get the best out of it. "The Grave" totally works on all levels. The plot twists, the scenery, the actor's and the dark humor. I do say that the weak of heart and young kids might be frightened by a scene or two but for those who love a tightly written movie, good actor's and dark humor look no further. It feels like a extra long "Tales Of The Crypt" a the last plot twist will open your eyes.
Two escaped convict go searching for hidden treasure supposedly buried with a millionaire and pick up some interesting characters along the way. Each actor feeds off each other and gives a stellar performance throughout. A true gem for a long night. A definite buy for my collection.
