Whispers From a Shallow Grave

Reviewed by Dave


Here's a review for the database:

Whispers From a Shallow Grave (2006): The concept for this movie is actually interesting, but very poorly executed. Its based on the Linda Sobek murder from a few years back, and in the opening it says that the events are based on trial transcripts. The idea is that the movie is told in flashback, with Linda's "ghost" providing comments during the investigation and subsequent trial of her murder by a fashion photographer.

The flashbacks are shown from the "lie" the photographer told about how she died, and the ends with what really happened.

For example, at one point during the interrogation scene the cop asks why Sobek's ankles were so badly rope burned, at the same time the ghost of Linda props her bloody ankles up on the table. The photographer tells his lie, that tries to make him look "not so bad", but later in the movie it is shown her legs were tied spread by hemp rope, and her struggling is what cause the injury.

The acting here is terrible, and the actress who plays Sobek (very attractive blond) is just god awful. Every time she talked, it was like nails on a chalk board. And she never gets naked, which really makes this almost intolerable.

Thus, its probably best just to fast forward to the rape scene, which occurs about 1hr, 23 mins in this dreck of a movie.

The photographer takes her to a secluded cabin, supposedly to take more pictures. Of course, he makes a move on her, and rebuffed beats her up. The beating is graphic. The actress is wearing heals, nylons and a white lace robe.

After a struggle he ties her face down on a bed, her legs spread wide to posts at the foot. She remains dressed in the lacy outfit. He ties her hands behind her back with an ace bandage, and duct tapes her mouth (thank god!).

He the proceeds to feel up her legs, all the way up to the bottom of her ass... but then the camera cuts, and there is no ass shot. He then stands up and looks down at his handy work, and we are given a view of her tied up from his perspective (the money shot of the movie)... Sobek, tied facedown, spreadeagle, hands tied behind. Its a 3 second shot, so have your pause button ready.

Anyway, the rape occurs, pretty graphically. There are cut scenes of her having some type of lesbian session, her going to church, and her speaking talking about giving herself to Jesus (WTF?).

Anyway, after the rape is over, there is a long close shot of her face, gagged as she cries. Then the guy pulls a gun... and then graphically, and violently rapes her with that as well (ok, now I am really done with this flick at this point)... Then leaving the gun there, ass rapes her again... She's strangled to death not long after.
