Press clippings
There are few laughs in John Landis's ghoulish historical comedy - perhaps only one proper when Paul Whitehouse stumbles on. Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis are desperately unfunny as they try to make a go of the corpse-collection business for their patron, Dr Knox (Tom Wilkinson). Disappointing, given Pegg's comic flair and a fine cast including Isla Fisher.
