Quick Hit

The Tell-Tale Heart has a clean hook and some atmosphere but not enough follow-through, which keeps it well below the line. You can see the movie it wanted to be.

Full Take

You can feel the movie reaching for a hit from frame one. When the image is sharp and the menace is clean, it lands. British genre discipline gives the film a cleaner shape than many of its pulp peers. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s enough to push it into BAD.
