Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Dominic H (54) on 28 Oct 2010

Dark, funny, better than any remake/sequels that are in our cinemas now…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Neil D (194) on 28 Oct 2010

A fun Victorian black comedy. Although could have done to have been a bit funnier and a bit darker…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By George M (317) on 28 Oct 2010

Worth a watch, dodgy accents in places, film doesnt take itself too seriously. Not as funny as advertised…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Stuart W (99) on 28 Oct 2010

A few weeks ago, one of the 80s great directors made a triumphant return. Joe Dante was back and on top form with The Hole…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Danny M (606) on 28 Oct 2010

Nice little caper with shocking accents but nothing to write home about. Few decent gags and Andey Serkis is excellent but bit of a disappointment…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Alex Zane (472) for The Sun (UK) (932) on 27 Oct 2010

While the script could have done better, there's still plenty to enjoy here -- you just won't die laughing…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Alan Jones (357) for Radio Times (2,421) on 27 Oct 2010

Landis pounces on every contemporary innovation and social issue for its inherent gallows humour to craft an entertaining version of the historical…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Chris Prince (27) for Sky Cinema (1,726) on 27 Oct 2010

Wildly oscillating between wacky slapstick and downright unpleasantness -- the sight of the killers slowly suffocating an elderly lady is just…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Scally G (2) on 27 Oct 2010

Not very funny, not at all scary and no emotional care for the characters. If it was a comedy, drama or horror it failed on all 3 counts…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Robert H (1,967) on 27 Oct 2010

Well-casted, well-costumed, well-atmosphered, but not much to laugh about, no one to engage with, and no real energy…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Frank M (727) on 27 Oct 2010

Very funny... In a very Simon pegg'y way... But could've been better…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Steven H (490) on 27 Oct 2010

Highly enjoyable. This story is true. Except for the bits that aren't…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Liz B (280) on 27 Oct 2010

We got a few laughs but this is definitely a dark film, not a straight-up comedy…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Ernest E (128) on 27 Oct 2010

Ok but nothing special, Ronnie Corbett completely stole the film…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Alan W (854) on 27 Oct 2010

Not exactly an American Werewolf or Animal House but well cast. Ronnie Corbett steals the show…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Brian S (2,291) on 27 Oct 2010

Unbelievably a lot of this film is based on actual events,good cast,lots of cameos make for an enjoyable 90 mins…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Tom Huddleston (600) for Time Out (7,510) on 26 Oct 2010

The humour may be too broad in places -- corpse-based slapstick pales with repetition -- but, for the most part, 'Burke and Hare' is well-timed…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Roz Laws (210) for Birmingham Post (543) on 26 Oct 2010

It is not a bad film exactly, and it's worth continuing to watch to see which famous face will pop up next…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Stephen W (423) on 26 Oct 2010

Brilliant cast and very very funny - Look out for the cameos…

Review of Burke & Hare (1972)

By Steph B (67) on 26 Oct 2010

A good mixture of slapstick and black comedy, a good laugh and not to be taken too seriously…
