Edgar Allan Poe's classic story about a murderer who hears his victim's beating heart.

CodyZamboni

Very effective short film that punches all right emotional buttons. Clever use of zoom shots, shadows, sound fx, and solid performances , enhance this take on Poe's tale. The movie honors the original story and doesn't try to mess with plot elements too much.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
