On November 14th Scream Factory will release THE DOCTOR AND THE DEVILS, giving the film its much deserved Blu-ray debut. Pre-order it right HERE on Blu-ray! I've never actually had the chance to check this one out before, but the fact that Mel Brooks produced it has me all sorts of curious. Directed by Freddie Francis and based on Dylan Thomas' original screenplay, this shocking horror-thriller stars Timothy Dalton. It goes like this:
At first accepting only the cadavers provided him for study – those of a few hanged criminals per year – Thomas Rock, a brilliant young anatomy professor in 1820s Edinburgh, eventually recruits two grave robbers (Jonathan Pryce and Stephen Rea) to secure a better supply of corpses. Coming to the gory conclusion that they will earn more the "fresher" the corpses, the two begin committing murder and delivering warm bodies to the doctor's lecture chambers.
Also starring Julian Sands, Patrick Stewart, and Twiggy, THE DOCTOR AND THE DEVILS brings classic chills from start to finish.
