Burke and Hare (2010)


A remake directed by John Landis.
A pair of poor Irish men sell corpses to make a living. One of them finances an all-female version of Macbeth.
This is a remake from the 1971 horror film to a black comedy. I've discussed black comedies elsewhere, so there's no need to get into whether they're supposed to be funny or not. I tried to get the 1971 version, but had no luck. This one was decent as there were some funny parts and the plot was alright. If you like watching what I call "accent" films (you'll get the joke when you hear the characters speak), you'll like this. I'm rating it o.k.
