Total Trash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! October 7, 2009

When this was first brought to my attention via Amazon it was touted as the John Landis version. Now, I know that Landis is making a film on the infamous Scottish sickoes - and figured it was released direct to DVD and so ordered this title. Well, Landis' movie is due for theatrical release sometime next year and I will eagerly look forward to his take on this subject.
However, all that having been said, stay away from this movie like the plague. It is absolute crap: the two lead actors do a good job, as does Harry Andrews as Dr. Knox - but the script, the music, the pacing, the gratuitous and silly bordello scenes all serve to sink this flick as effectively (and in about as much time) as the most famous iceberg in history sank Titanic.
"The Flesh and the Fiends" (with Peter Cushing) is THE supreme film about Burke and Hare and is readily available on DVD. If interested in the subject, go for this film instead. As for "Burke and Hare" - unless you like the guilty pleasure of a truly cheesy movie (and I must confess that sometimes I, myself, do having just watched "The Devil Bat" with Bela Lugosi) - then steer clear of this clinker.
