This movie has become my crack... they're running it on Showtime lately and whenever it's on I HAVE to watch it! It's like a disfigured person on the street, you don't WANT to look but you're strangely compelled.

I love the rape in the grave scene, and the fight at the end. it's just so ultra-violent.

I saw this flick back in the 80s on a Sauturday afternoon when the channel ran out of Hammer and Sinbad films...Adventure Theater, that's what it was called. Anyway, Grave... creeped me out then, so when I saw it running on Showtime, I decided to give it another try.

I think its a great B-movie/horror film. Cheesy dialogue, stiff and awkward acting, and the Soviet tough guy from Red Dawn. Definitely catch it on cable- I rented the DVD and the picture quality and sound were terrible.

Fin, indeed.

The accent was actually real, since Lyn Peters was British.

No blah, blah, blah!
