I was lucky enough to catch this movie on HBO one late night a few years back... And was smart enough to pop in a vcr tape and dub it off... WHY WON'T THEY RELEASE THIS MOVIE ON DVD?!... ...This movie kicks ...... The cast and acting both are great... There are a seldom few movies I can watch over and over and everytime pay as close of attention as I did the first night I saw it... This is one of those movies... I can't understand why it has been such an unknown film... Donal Logue (Blade, and now the star of the hit tv series "Grounded For Life") stars in this movie, and it is his best performance i've ever seen... I LOVE HIS CHARACTER... It is my favorite in the entire movie... The pairing of "Travis, Boo, and Cletus" is classic... If you haven't seen this movie, I strongly suggest you do... My rating out of 5 is a 10...

I recently saw this late at night on TV and was surprised at how good it was (I wasn't expecting much)--and now I'm disappointed that it can't be found on DVD. It's basically a treasure-hunt movie, with the gold under (what else?) a grave in the swamps somewhere down South. The story may lack originality, but the dialogue and acting are fantastic. A cameo appearance by Eric Roberts in which he describes how his wife shoots him is absolutely hilarious. Even 80s-era teen star Anthony Michael Hall, playing an ex-con undertaker, finally plays a role well. Amazing. All in all, this is a very entertaining film.

great movie. i was actually trying to track this down on DVD (i don't think it exist) but amazon sent this instead. i eventually happened to be visiting a house with a VHS player and was able to watch the movie again, and still really enjoyed it.

Buyer really did deliver on and the item I asked for he is a A+++++ seller in my book look forward to doing business with him again

This is just a really well put together comedy/mystery. It will keep you guessing until the end.

An EXCELLENT movie. Why was it not more popular? Several people have already mentioned the plot & the cast & written great reviews, so I'll just say that the acting was amazing- some of the best I've seen from several of these popular actors. The basic story is a bit generic, but they did it so well & the feel of the movie is very unique & the relationship b/t the characters, the acting, etc, make it VERY realistic. It's an eery, scary sort of theme, but there is plenty of dark humor, as well. It's best to watch more than once to take it all in. Why is it not on DVD...?

I never saw these actors before and have no idea who they are or what they are doing now, but this is a piece of work you will either really enjoy or hate. The odd thing is that it reminds me of some of the people I knew in school. They weren't grave robbers, but some of them could have acted in this movie without much effort. The acting is first rate for a semi-gruesome flick.

The Grave is about two convicts played by Craig Sheffer (Fire In The Sky, Dracula II: Ascension) and Josh Charles (Coldblooded, SWAT) who bust out of the prison with the help from a security guard, that is John Diehl (Jurassic Park 3, Fail Safe(2000). The 2 escape to find fortunes in a grave but Charles is shot, so Sheffer takes him to Anthony Michael Hall (Weird Science, The Breakfast Club), Donal Louge (Blade, Reindeer Games) and Max Perlich (Drugstore Cowboy, Tv's Buffy The Vampire Slayer) for help. Things go off schedule as Charles dies, Sheffer is left for dead and the rascals Perlich, Louge and Hall try to figure things out. Sheffer isnt dead, Perlich gets killed and the 3 (Hall, Sheffer and Louge) find the fortunes but things get even more twisted as they are locked in the secret room and then the fit really hits the shan from there. This is told by a voiceboxed mystery person and Keith David (Pitch Black, Requiem For A Dream) is along for the ride. Now this movie began dumb and ended dumb because it was so damn perdictable because I knew off the bat who the voiceboxed person was, it was the chick damnit! The chick was played by Gabrielle Anwar (The Guilty, Things To Do In Denver When Your Dead). Also starring Eric Roberts (National Security, The Specialist) and Giovanni Ribisi (Suburbia, The Mod Squad). Not much fun and they didnt eat any posums at all, why not!!!

i REALLY ENJOYED THIS MOVIE. I ALSO CAUGHT THIS MOVIE YEARS AGO ON HBO. AND YOU KNOW, A FEW YEARS AFTER A VEEEERRY SIMILAR MOVIE CAME OUT. "O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU"
