Adapted from Edgar Allen Poe’s orignail text, this original psychological thriller story has been re-imagined in this mind-bending, pulse-pounding, bloody-disgusting short film.
Following the Narrator (Sonny Grimsley), who is haunted by the “evil eye” of the Old Man (James C Morris) whom he cares for. Descending further into madness, the Narrator murders the Old Man in his bed and then hides the body under the floorboards. When Detectives Tucker (Teren Turner) and Officer Sharpe (Mikah Olsen) come to inquire about the old man’s whereabouts the Narrator’s frail mind begins to unravel.
It is an interesting juxtaposition of the classic tale in a modern setting, The anachronisms of the costume design and dialogue work well and give the film a unique look and feel that make The Tell Tale Heart Short Movie a pleasure to watch.
