Another great outing for Boris and Bela. Although Bela's role in this one is significantly smaller than that of Boris's. Still worth checking out. Very undervalued. I don't know why, but I like the Burke and Hare sub-genre of robbing graves. Then again I love the classic Frankenstein movies. So . . . Just always intriguing to me. All in the name of science, of course (wink)
