Early Grave

EARLY GRAVE is an excellent no budget horror/ suspense thriller. It shows what a small group of determined filmmakers can accomplish in a short amount of time when they have drive, talent, and few resources other than a killer screenplay.

The story reminded me of Agatha Christie's .. AND THEN THERE WERE NONE. It centers around a small group of people who committed a terrible crime in their youth, and the guilt and shame that has burdened their lives and many cases, destroyed their dreams. Dealing with the long term effects of a brutal, violent act, the movie carries an underlying message about NOT committing such acts, even under the guise of a "prank" or a "practical joke".

The acting on the whole is excellent. It should be noted that some of the actors in this film have already gone on to earn their SAG-AFTRA cards from work on bigger films, Lifetime MOW's, and TV shows like LAW AND ORDER: SVU.

All in all, this movie is a definite "must see".
