This 1972 cult horror favorite stars Derren Nesbitt (Where Eagles Dare) and Glynn Edwards (The Blood Beast Terror) as the title characters, two grave robbers going about their twisted business in 1820s Scotland.
From Redemption's official synopsis:
"Two of the most notorious figures in the history of medicine, William Burke (Nesbitt) and William Hare (Edwards) were a pair of enterprising street thugs who provided anatomical specimens to the Edinburgh Medical College - often by robbing the graves of the recently dead, sometimes through even more nefarious methods."
The Blood Beast Terror:
In 1968, director Vernon Sewell brought audiences this gothic horror chiller, which stars Peter Cushing (Horror Express) as a detective searching for the perpetrator behind a rash of mutilated dead bodies left in the English countryside.
From Redemption's official synopsis:
"Detective Inspector Quennell (Cushing) [is] brought in to investigate the deaths. He consults entomology professor Mallinger (Robert Flemyng, Funny Face), but the doctor seems to be hiding a dark secret about his fetching young daughter, Clare (Wanda Ventham, The Prisoner). The deeper Quennell digs into their story, the bloodier the violence, until he discovers a terrifying truth about Mallinger's experiments."
Redemption's Blu-rays presents each film in its original aspect ratio of 1.66:1 with monaural LPCM audio tracks. Bonus supplements include:
