the flesh and the fiends (1960)

AKA Mania. Psycho Killers. The Fiendish Ghouls.
"Ain't that what we all want, to end our days in peace."
Edinburgh in 1828 and the respected anatomist, lecturer and surgeon Dr Knox (Peter Cushing) needs bodies to dissect. He comes to employ Burke and Hare (George Rose and Donald Pleasence), who seem to have an unending supply, no questions asked.
Pleasence and Cushing give their usually great performances, in this adaption of the true story, that evokes the grim atmosphere of an 19th Century Edinburgh.
