Trivia:
This film is an adaptation of the story of real-life killers William Burke and William Hare who, around 1827 in Edinburgh, Scotland, did provide more than a dozen "fresh" corpses to the anatomist Dr. Knox. moreQuotes:
[last lines]Dr. Robert Knox: Before commencing this morning's lecture, let us consider the Oath of Hippocrates, the sacred oath of our profession: "I will prescribe regimen for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone."

Since most of the movie focuses on the villains, it's a pleasure. "Is Dr Knox the most evil of them all, or is he above judgement?" is the main question the movie asks us. In the end he answers the question in scenes that could have been laughable, but are actually quite touching.
My copy of the movie cost two dollars and is oddly packaged with a bald green man wielding a knife on the cover. It's entitled 'Mania' and I suspect is censored.
