Leave your thoughts about Burke & Hare.
| Filmcritic.comJosh BellThe actors give the whole thing a sense of genial goodwill, but that's not exactly what you want out of a movie about two craven murderers. |
| Village VoiceMark HolcombBy swinging between broad laughs and cheap pathos - Pegg's specialties as an actor, apparently - while avoiding the more fertile ground between, Landis renders his Burke and Hare sociopolitically toothless and bizarrely insensitive. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...simply too mild - it's neither very scary nor very funny. It's not great. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey[VIDEO] John Landis's loving homage to the Vaudeville and Grand Guignol-based humor of Britain's Ealing Studios is a retrofitted black comedy filled with slapstick gags and wink-wink cameos by stalwart British actors. |
| Boston HeraldJames Verniere'Burke & Hare', it's all a bit Monty Python without enough Monty or Python. |
| Mark Leeper's ReviewsMark R. LeeperNot a first-ranked film, but for fans of horror or even just comedy, BURKE AND HARE is will worth seeing. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA mildly funny dark comedy with iconic British wit and tongue-in-cheek humor. |
| DeadspinWill LeitchLandis is too out of practice. I'm not sure 1981 Landis would have nailed it, but I know 2011 Landis doesn't. |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergSlight, dark, and weird, but what a cast. |
| ViewLondonCassam LoochCompetently made but lacks any real spark. |
