Prepare for Burke & Hare's Blu-ray Debut on April 1!
Kino Lorber brings Vernon Sewell's dark comedy to Blu-ray, starring Derren Nesbitt.
Kino Lorber is set to release the Burke & Hare Blu-ray on April 1, delivering a captivating mix of dark comedy and bawdy storytelling from the 1970s. Directed by Vernon Sewell, this film brings to life the infamous duo William Burke and William Hare, notorious for supplying Edinburgh Medical College with bodies through unsavory means.
Featuring Derren Nesbitt, Harry Andrews, Glynn Edwards, and Yootha Joyce, the movie promises a colorful portrayal of 1820s Scotland's taverns and surgical theatres. Unlike typical horror interpretations, Sewell opts for a unique blend of humor and suspense, crowned by The Scaffold's playful theme song.
