Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

While not following Poe step by step...this movie was so refreshing from all the other "transplant possession" movies. Great twist! Loved it! As usual Lucas gives a stellar performance and the ending was truly the icing on the cake! I sure didn't see that coming!His confusion and horror at his actions was palpable and I especially love that the writers didn't "talk down" to the audience and kept everything very subtle so as to force the audience to figure it out for ourselves. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes this type of movie but perhaps is tired of the usual "donor was murdered and possesses the donee (or whatever they're called) in order to find the murderer" type of movies. This one takes that and gives it several big twists all the way to the very last scene of the movie. Loved it!

A cry for help was a dagger to his heart. Fragments of memory, moments not his crashed into view, and the adrenaline rush of revenge surged through his veins. They had to pay. He had to make them pay, but could he live with the haunting images of their death? He wanted to walk away, but his heart told him different. He had no choice, and now they were coming for him. He stepped into their trap, taking the bait, and they were going to end this, silence him before the truth escaped. But were they prepared for all that his heart would tell, the vengeful spirit itching to take them down? What secrets would surface across the rivers of their blood, and what life waited to be lived when justice was finally answered? A riveting tale of suspense is echoing across the pages of Poe and beating deep, deep into the far reaches of one man's journey between life and death.

Tell Tale is a modern adaptation of Poe's The Tell Tale Heart. This movie contains all aspects of an independent hit film. Characters undergo change, there is conflict and resolution, and a twist all the way through to keep you on the edge of your seats til the end. I enjoyed watching Terry slowly put together the pieces of his mystery heart as he also tries to maintain his sanity and take care of his daughter. This movie takes on more of the thriller aspect than a horror as Poe intended but I feel writing it as a thriller did Poe justice. Since it was an adaptation I feel the direction the film went was justified. I would definitely recommend this movie to all and would watch it again.

First off, this is not any kind of interpretation of Poe's story; Modern or otherwise. The only thing similar is that the main character can hear a heart beat, sometimes. Suspense is held throughout the movie! It held my full attention and I couldn't wait to see what happened next. That's all I will say about the actual plot to not spoil anything. There is graphic violence, and overall the film has a depressing mood to it. Why then did I give a 7? The acting by everyone is great..except for the English doctor's! it was horrendous! Her lines sucked and she made me feel awkward. So bad that it takes away from the rest of the movie. Overall, a good flick to check out.
