TELL-TALE HEART, THE(1960)
In the set: 100 Greatest Terror Classics


You just can't go wrong with Edgar Allan
Poe! This telling of the story has just
the right music, atmosphere, acting and
of course the story!! And there's nudity,
in the form of a picture that the main
character looks at early in the movie!! B+

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

Definitely one of the better takes on the
classic Poe story. The acting in this version
is simply fantastic. A moody little piece
with some risqué' scenes to be of such an
early caliber. A very interesting rarity.

The quality of the print isn't great, but
has still held up well throughout time,
considering... It's a wonder that someone
still had the negative.. I was really
surprised, as a lot of times, films like
these can really be tedious, but not this
one.

A welcomed attempt is what this is. One
gets the sense that even tho it had been
done to death (even previously from 1960)
the filmmakers took their approach
seriously, with an end result that is
creepy and risky.

I'm surprised that more people haven't
seen this film, given the fact that it's
pretty readily available on a one buck
DVD alongside Chiller. - Bub_the_zombie
