Burke & Hare

COMEDY FROM A GRUESOME REALITY:
Times in Edinburgh, Scotland, no one can find jobs, money is hard to come by, and the people would rather step over you than help you. Though making a living might be rough it gives William Burke (played by Simon Pegg) and his friend William Hare (played by Andy Serkis) the opportunity to create some business for themselves in selling dead bodies. Only when they find that there are not as many people dying as they expecting they take it upon themselves to bring about the bodies by killing people. What they soon find out is that killing people for money is not as easy as they first figured but now having to pay Hare’s wife Lucky (played by Jesssica Hynes) as well as helping fund an all female production of Macbeth by Helen McDougal (played by Isla Fisher). Needing more bodies to supply the money they need, Burke and Hare up the killing spree until they are finally caught for the West Port Murders.
