Informazioni su questo film

A haunting account of a man tormented by the heart of the man he murdered, who continually re-admits himself into a medical facility in a futile attempt to escape from his impending madness. Set in contemporary New Orleans, The Tell-Tale Heart is based on Edgar Allan Poe’s classic short story of the same name and stars Patrick John Flueger, Rose McGowan and Peter Bogdanovich.

Valutazioni e recensioni

Hitchcock, Shyamalan, Spielberg--you have been called out, sirs. La Tier elevates Edgar Allan Poe's 1843 short story to the cinematic stratosphere. If McGowan sizzles, Flueger smolders as an ex-pilot washing down pills with whiskey as he winds his way toward a horrifying truth that must be seen to be believed.

To the cast and crew: thank you. Thank you for this film. Upon watching your masterpiece I fell to my knees and wept, for it’s beauty and genius have the capacity to change the course of human history. My life’s greatest regret is that the Academy won’t allow Tell Tale Heart to compete amongst amateurs. To J.J. Abrams: you’re on waivers.

If you love artsy photography but aren't too concerned about things like story lines or plot, this could be for you. This is a pretentious pile of garbage with cartoon bits thrown in here and there for effect. The character is tossed back and forth through flashbacks like a tennis ball without any reason. The film is a confused hodgepodge that leaves you asking yourself, "why did I just waste an hour and twenty minutes of my life?" I have to agree with the other reviewer that called it the way it is. There was no suspense, no scares, no anything. Blah.
