Great film!

A brilliant interpretation of the classic Poe story.

Truly the best and most entertaining version I've ever seen.

A thrilling, gripping and visually stunning piece of work

It adds a little jump scares, with some gore to plenty of genuine storytelling, a lot of horror films have struggled with combining them all, either falling short on the story or being afraid to use gore, Lindquist has found a great ratio to fit them all together in a way that capitalises on the different elements and doesn't let any of them disappear into the background.

Fresh new take on a classic story

The Tell Tale Heart is a beautifully crafted take on a classic story. Execution, editing, and score are incredible, making for a short that will leave its audience speechless and will stay with you long afterward. One to watch and rewatch for any horror fan. There is so much heart and charm here, and I can't wait to see what else in in store from McClain Lindquist, a creative and talented director and writer.

A 22 minute decent into madness

A visually feast of blood and suspense. Poe's story is a favourite of mine and this version is an up-to-date, well-paced, shot and thought through. Professionally delivered it is a joy to watch from start to finish.

Haunting/Stylish/Gory Fun

TTTH has all of my favorite things in it (Which also puts my standards for quality very high). This project hit all the notes I would hope with a beautifully brutal visual style and amazing performance from the narrator. Very fun! Looking forward to more!
