3 stars out of 5 -- [I]t has a genial, engaging feel which still allows for a few proper suspense and horror scenes.
Empire
Oct 29, 2010
Rating: 3.5/10 -- To call it a black comedy is probably misleading: It's grey at best, and apart from a few scattered chuckles, it dies as quickly and gracelessly as Burke and Hare's victims. Full Review

Rating: 7/10 -- Not a first-ranked film, but for fans of horror or even just comedy, BURKE AND HARE is will worth seeing. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- It's just scene after scene of two obnoxious people killing various other obnoxious people. Full Review

[I]t's good to see John Landis after his wilderness years, back on something near form...

Rating: 3/5 -- A droll take on one of the most notorious mass-murder cases of the 19th century. Full Review
New York Times
Sep 9, 2011
Rating: 1.5/4 -- Rarely has the ratio of quality talent to dismal returns been as high as in "Burke & Hare,'' a macabre British period piece that's nowhere near as funny as it thinks. Full Review

Product Description:

Comedy connoisseur John Landis (ANIMAL HOUSE, TRADING PLACES) directs this darkly comic film set in 19th-century Edinburgh. Selling cadavers to medical schools was big business in the 1800s, and Burke and Hare think that they can make their fortunes in the industry. The only problem is that there aren’t any dead bodies to be found.
