I'm just finding it hard to believe that THIS was directed by John Landis, the guy who gave us American Werewolf in London, and Michael Jackson's Thriller... - @Friday, September 8, 2017 9:35 PM

Those names William Burk and William Hare have read in forensic medicine.They kill people and sold their bodies to Dr.Robert Knox for medical school.:( Look like they invented burning. - @Monday, July 20, 2015 5:58 PM

Wait, what? WHAT?! This movie features John Landis directing Andy Serkis and Simon Pegg in a movie? Why the flying fuck didn't this catch my attention over 5 years ago! I can't believe it! Must watch now! - @Thursday, July 2, 2015 3:42 AM

This movie is great! I can't understand why people don't like it! Burke and Hare were born in Ireland and all accents in this movie are done successfully! Also it's lovely to see lots of other famous people in it. That always makes a good comedy. But the story and the lines alone are able to carry the movie. Adding Andy Serkis is just the best thing they could have done!!! - @Wednesday, February 11, 2015 8:55 PM

Tim Curry is in this movie. This is the third movie to feature Tim Curry that John Landis was a part of. The other two were Clue, which John wrote with that film's director Jonathan Lynn, and Oscar, which John directed. - @Saturday, December 1, 2012 11:44 AM

As an actaul Strabane man (Co.Donegal is litraly the width of the river Finn away from the townland of Urney near Strabane in Co. Tyrone). I found Burke's accent a tad "east of the Bann" but pretty decent for what it was. The actual Strabane accent is like a a mix of Tourettes & machinegun fire! Hare's accent was even more Belfast-esq & a few English style soft Rs snuck in. Top class show indeed! - @Friday, December 30, 2011 2:06 AM

@TimArmst ouch. I was trying to stick up for Pegg and Serkis, but if this is the response I'm gonna get, then just fuck it. I guess I just wasted my time trying to be nice. But you know, whatever. - @Wednesday, December 28, 2011 11:32 PM

To those wandering why "they all speak with Irish accents": only 3 of them speak with Irish accents. To those saying tthat Pegg's and Serkis's (two actors you should NEVER criticize) Scottish accents are shit; they're Irish, actually. But you know, whatever. - @Tuesday, November 29, 2011 7:50 PM

Simon Pegg and his friend Nick Frost are the best comedy actors !! - @Saturday, October 22, 2011 9:30 PM

I watched this film, and liked it at first. But now I think that it's creepy in a "bad mojo" way. I've been to a funeral yesterday, and I just realized that this person I knew died at the exact night that I watched this movie. P.S. Sadly, I am not making this up. - @Monday, September 19, 2011 3:38 PM

@MsChloeAngel I am sorry,but your opinion lacks of any good reason why this is "boring and shit".It's not even an opinion,just very rude and uncalled for,hatefull comment.If you want to judge it,at least be more specific,before making yourself look like any other ignorant troll. Have a nice day - @Saturday, September 10, 2011 10:13 PM
