Burke & Hare (1972)

Description

In 19th century Edinburgh, two inept but enterprising grave robbers, Burke and Hare, stumble upon a lucrative scheme. Struggling to make ends meet, they resort to murder to supply bodies for the local medical school, where demand for cadavers is high. Their antics quickly spiral out of control as they become involved in increasingly bizarre and darkly comedic situations. As the body count rises, the duo navigates a web of deception, rivalry, and unexpected consequences that hilariously showcases their incompetence in the face of a grim trade. The film blends macabre humor with social commentary on morality and desperation.
