Review of The Doctor and the Devils (1985) by Scott C — 28 Dec 2012
Nice retelling of the Burke and Hare murder case, which was about 2 low-life lads in the early part of the 19th century selling off bodies to an all too eager Doctor Of Anatomy. They started off grave robbing, but realized they could get more money if they had fresher bodies.
... Actually, this seems more of a remake of the excellent "The Flesh And The Fiends " movie from 1960.., Theyve made the right move by trimming the plot and getting rid of some characters, perhaps they put more of a cliff hanger ending in there, but that's ok.
Of course, Timothy Dalton is no Peter Cushing, but we'll let that slidw. Actually contains a great cast for it's time.
