(DVD, Redemption)
Burke and Hare are peasants in Edinburgh that discover they can make a small fortune selling bodies to doctors. Finding bodies by chance is not enough to feed their greed, so they resort to murdering drunks and prostitutes. It so happens that medical students frequent the local brothel, and the scheme is eventually uncovered. The movie spends most of its time at the brothel, lingering on peep holes and exposed skin, and as such is more of an exploitation film than horror. The Redemption DVD is full frame and marred by missing frames and a jumpy soundtrack at the reel changes... speaking of which that theme song will stay with you for days.
