Did you know that funnyman Mel Brooks produced a horror film back in 1985? It was called The Doctor and the Devils, and just about ten years after hitting DVD for the first time, Scream Factory grants the cult gem its Blu-ray debut. Read on for all the details!
From the Press Release
A man of medicine… A pair of murderers… An unholy alliance. Scream Factory has announced a November 14th Blu-ray release of the murderous thriller The Doctor and the Devils.
Directed by Freddie Francis, executive produced by Mel Brooks, and based on Dylan Thomas’ original screenplay, this shocking horror-thriller stars Timothy Dalton as Thomas Rock, a brilliant young anatomy professor in 1820s Edinburgh. At first accepting only the cadavers provided him for study – those of a few hanged criminals per year – Rock 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.
