A slightly silly, but nonetheless entertaining, take on the notorious body-snatching duo - Burke and Hare. The core story is broadly accurate but the film is padded and given a bawdy, sexploitative angle with the introduction of a number of superfluous brothel sequences. Director Vernon Sewell provides a Hammer-lite feel and ensures plenty of zip and pace. Harry Andrews gives a great, full-blooded turn as Dr Knox, while Hammer starlet Yutte Stensgaard turns up as a drunken prostitute. The film is given added entertainment value by some of the piss-poor Scottish accents on display and it has the dubious distinction of delivering one of the most profoundly awful movie title songs ever, courtesy of The Scaffold.
