The Tell-Tale Heart

(1928)

directed by Charles Klein, 21 minutes

633.d_600_400

Edgar Allan Poe's legendary tale told in an expressionistic manner, THE TELL-TALE HEART tells the tale of an unstable young man and his difficult neighbor. Difficult enough to kill! What begins as a supposed perfect crime unravels under pressure.

This short is well done. It is hard to imagine a silent Poe, but I think if the wordsmith had to be silenced, he would want stark images such as in this film to drive his story.
