Résumé (jaquette) : Based on a screenplay by the poet Dylan Thomas, "The Doctor and the Devils" is a gothic thriller inspired by the real-life exploits of the famed 19th Century grave robbers Burke and Hare.
Timothy Dalton stars as Dr Thomas Rock, an unorthodox anatomist who refuses to obey the rules of the Victorian medical establishment.
In his quest for scientific truth, Dr Rock unwittingly falls in league with a team of "resurrectionists" Fallon (Jonathan Pryce) and Broom (Stephen Rea), who are more than willing to supply him with dead bodies... fresh ones.
