    Fun Version of the Poe Tale

    The Tell-Tale Heart (2004)

    *** (out of 4)

    Director Stephanie Sinclaire takes on the classic Edgar Allan Poe story dealing with a delusional man who kills an older man because of his "eye" and then cracks down as he hears the dead man's heartbeat.

    I love this Poe story and with that said, I try to watch every filmed version of it that I can. The story is pretty much the same from one film to the next with just a few of them trying to do something fresh or new with the material. This one here stays pretty faithful to the story and I thought the director did a great job at making you feel the time setting in the picture. I also thought the cast did a fine job including Stephen Lord in the lead role. If you're a fan of the story then you'll be pleased by this version as it does a nice job dealing with the crazed status of the killer and his breakdown was very well done.
