Watch Tell-Tale For Free

I love this movie so much

How sad is this?

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The plot: a man receives a heart transplant, only to find himself forced by the donor's spirit to avenge the donor's brutal murder.Let's be honest here. Once you find out that a person in a horror movie has had a transplant, there's only two possible ways it can go: 1) He turns into a serial killer or 2) He's forced to solve the mystery / avenge the death of the donor. That's it. Those are the only two possible plots allowed by hack screen writing convention. Sometimes, if you're Asian, you're allowed to see ghosts, but that's an Asian-only power.Now, I could be wrong, but I don't remember anyone going on a rampage of vengeance in The Tell-Tale Heart. In fact, as I recall, it's purely a tale of psychological horror. Tell Tale, on the other hand, is pretty much a Death Wish ripoff, with a few cheesy elements of Body Parts grafted on. There's also some filler side-stories involving a romance, a disabled daughter, and a dogged cop.Tell-Tale isn't all bad. It's actually fairly enjoyable, if you're willing to overlook the more clichéd, derivative elements and focus on what does work. In the end, it's basically just violent exploitation. If you're looking for something more than that, then I don't think you'll like Tell Tale very much. It has moments where it rises above that, but then it abandons them and sinks right back down again. As other reviewers have noted, it can be frustrating seeing the movie that could have been.

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.

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.
