Burke and Hare (2010)
John Landis directs Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis in this black comedy inspired by the lives of the famous Scottish serial killers. In need of money and finding a gap in the corpse market two men start up their own “surgical supplies” business.
Probably the best thing about this film is spotting all the cameos from British actors which includes Christopher Lee and many others. From the opening titles the film makes it clear that historical accuracy is not a major concern and given this is not a serious film with plenty of laughs it is not hard to get on board with. In the end this is a funny if unremarkable and not especially memorable film.
3/5
