Burke And Hare Blu Ray – Harry Andrews, Glynn Edwards

Dark horror with Derren Nesbitt and Glynn Edwards starring as the 19th-century Irish body snatchers. Supplying cadavers for cash to the pioneering surgeon Dr Knox (Harry Andrews) at Edinburgh’s world-renowned medical school, Burke (Nesbitt) and Hare (Edwards) hit a problem when their supply dries up. Not keen to let a business opportunity pass them by, however, the pair soon resort to murder to procure enough bodies to keep the cash rolling in.

Please note this is a region B Blu-ray and will require a region B or region free Blu-ray player in order to play. Vernon Sewell (The Blood Beast Terror) directs this Hammeresque horror in the early days of anatomy, when the need for fresh corpses led to a series of murders in Edinburgh. When the villainous grave robbers Burke and Hare realise that demand for corpses is outstripping supply, they decide to take matters into their own hands and prey on drunken prostitutes in the brothels and alleyways of Victorian Edinburgh. Derren Nesbitt, Glynn Edwards, Yootha Joyce and Francoise Pascal star in this seminal British shocker.
