Four college coeds are on their way to Florida for spring break. While passing through a small Georgia town, they unwittingly witness the murder of a woman. But when they discover that the assailant is the local sheriff, they’re forced on the run from a cunning and deranged sociopath who will stop at nothing to cover up his crime. After trapping the girls in town overnight, he devises a plan to permanently eliminate any potential witnesses and begins to terrorize and murder the girls one by one…

Packed with nail biting suspense from beginning to end, Richard Styles’ SHALLOW GRAVE is an edge-of-your-seat, twist filled, Hitchcockian thriller with very strong slasher tendencies. Never released legally on disc anywhere in the world, Vinegar Syndrome is proud to bring the criminally under-seen SHALLOW GRAVE to Blu-ray, freshly restored from long believed lost 35mm elements alongside newly shot and illuminating interviews.

Reviews

A fun film. . .

"Pretty good movie. Interesting plot. Great artwork. Pre ordered this one."

— Anthony G. (5/5)

Promising but Ultimately Unsatisfying

"The film starts off strong with genuine suspense, solid direction, and a genuinely fun female cast, initially keeping me fully engaged. Unfortunately, it loses momentum as it shifts from tense to mean‑spirited, ultimately landing in an unsatisfying place. Interestingly, it reminded me stylistically of Blood Games—another Vinegar Syndrome release—but while that film is even harsher, it’s also far more fun, thrilling, and effective overall."

— Eugene H. (3/5)

Hidden Gem

"A wildly entertaining and atmospheric 80s thriller packed with suspense, solid kills, and great regional charm."

— Kevin G. (5/5)

Slick and Suspenseful Thriller

"A stylish and tightly constructed thriller that still packs a punch. The presentation looks excellent, with strong detail and vibrant color that enhance the film’s sharp visual style. Grain is natural and the audio is clear and immersive. A well-produced release that gives this tense, character-driven classic the treatment it deserves."

— Thomas L. (5/5)

Eugh

"Quite a rough and nasty film to be sure, but I love this aesthetic. Great release from VS as usual."

— Zakaria S. (5/5)

Shallow grave

"Great restoration and presentation of a cool thriller. Good performances too."

— Chris K. (5/5)

An enjoyable low-budget thriller

"Low-budget slasher-thriller hybrid with surprisingly tense and effective moments. Worth the detour for fans of those genres."

— Fabrice B. (4/5)

A fun little 80's slasher.

"A fun little 80's slasher. Another amazing The Hysteria Continues commentary."

— Brad Y. (5/5)

Great hidden gem

"So glad I picked this up, such a fun hidden gem. Very solid horror plot and characters that kept me entertained."

— Mitch O. (5/5)

Shallow grave

"Teenagers go to Florida during showing break to stay at an old abandoned mansion that one is the characters family owns. From there you will know where this is going but that doesn't take away from the fun."

— Brent T. (5/5)
