Review of Tell Tale

Tell Tale (2009)
6/10
Great take on an Edgar Allen Poe story

Warning: Spoilers
I have to admit when I first heard about this film I was very skeptical, seeing as Edgar Allen Poe's story was one of my favorites growing up. Tell Tale takes the original Poe idea and successfully expands on it, giving it a modern day twist.

The film follows a man who has recently received a heart transplant from a person who was brutally murdered for their organs. The story's main character soon begins an investigation that challenges his very sanity.

Josh Lucas as the lead does an excellent job. Lucas who has a background of starring in indie horror films like Session 9, delivers yet again with a solid performance the viewer can identify with.

Tell Tale does have some weaknesses like most indie horror films do, mainly do to budget restrictions but its a decent effort.

Overall, Tell Tale is worth watching.
