Review of Burke & Hare (2010) by Daniel S — 03 Apr 2012
Re-make of the 1971 film by the same name starting Simon Pegg & Andy Serkis. It follows along the lines of I Sell The Dead, also starring another LOTR actor, Dominic Monaghan. It's entertaining & has its funny moments.
It's set in early 19th Century Scotland with Burke & Hare are struggling to make ends meet but soon stumble across a doctor's need for cadavers. As luck goes a tenant of Hare's meets his maker & they sell the body to the needy doctor.
But their good intentions soon turn macabre & they start to knock off the local Edinburgh population for the demanding doctor's need to map the human body.
