Burke and HareBurke and Hare (16/09/11)

A black comedy about two 19th century grave robbers who find a lucrative business providing cadavers for an Edinburgh medical school.

What a disappointment. That’s a horrible way to start writing about this film, but that’s what it was! Great cast, excellent director and yet it all just fell apart. Not sure it was all together in the first place really.

I was hoping for a really dark, black comedy. Considering the subject matter of killing people just to sell the dead bodies. How else would you be able to tell it?

I found a few of the gags funny, but overall, I was left a little bored some of the time and the gags just missed the mark. Ah well.
