Timothy Dalton (THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS) stars as Dr. Thomas Rock, an anatomy professor and physician whose noble intentions of bettering society are eclipsed by his professional need for fresh corpses. The doctor hires a pair of thugs to rob graves to supply him with fresh cadavers for his research, but the consistently maggot-ridden, decomposed nature of their deliveries prompts him to offer higher prices for fresher corpses. Looking the other way when his employees deliver still-warm bodies, the doctor begins to pay them to murder people--all in the name of medical research. Julian Sands (HOTEL) co-stars as Dr. Rock's stoic assistant, while former model Twiggy plays Jennie, a spunky bar-room wench. [More]
