Directed by Freddie Francis
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Fox)
A London doctor needs fresh corpses for his Academy of Anatomy. A couple of alcoholic street bums are happy to supply him from an unlimited supply of prostitutes and the homeless. Freddie Francis tries to inject life into this overly familiar story based on the Burke and Hare murders. Jonathan Pryce is entertaining as the murderer Fallon, but Twiggy and Julian Sands are boring in their romantic subplot. The London slums are realistically portrayed in all of their disgusting filth.
