Burke & Hare (2010)

In the grim and gritty corners of Edinburgh, Scotland in 1828, a tale of dark comedy unfolds as two notorious yet bumbling scoundrels, William Burke (Simon Pegg) and William Hare (Andy Serkis), stumble upon a morbidly profitable enterprise. Amid the imposing shadow of the city's medical academia, the infamous duo realize the lucrative potential of the escalating rivalry between two eminent physicians, Dr. Robert Knox (Tom Wilkinson) and Dr. Alexander Monro (Tim Curry). The city, a pulsing heart of medical enlightenment, thirsts for fresh cadavers, a demand that far outweighs the supply. Sensing opportunity in this macabre shortfall, Burke and Hare morph from hapless ne'er-do-wells to entrepreneurial purveyors of the dearly departed, embarking on a sinister yet comical killing spree. Unbeknown to them, the city's murky underworld and the vivacious Ginny Hawkins (Isla Fisher) - an aspiring actress and Burke's newfound passion - have their eyes on a slice of this grim pie. In this darkly humorous narrative inspired by true events, watch as the inept murderers weave through the cobblestoned streets of 19th century Edinburgh, juggling love, rivalry, and a deadly business. Will they manage to outwit their competitors and evade justice, or will their grisly venture unravel as quickly as it began? This is Burke & Hare's tale, a duo whose names have echoed through the annals of infamous history.
