Tell-Tale

You’ve heard those freaky stories about recipients of organs who suddenly take on certain characteristics of their donor, right? Well, before this recorded phenomenon was a little story written 150 years ago by Edgar Allen Poe that proposed a similar idea.

This film expands on these ideas by presenting us with a heart transplant patient who suddenly becomes aware that his donor died under suspicious circumstances. How does he know this? Well, his new heart starts racing every time he crosses paths with certain people, and he starts having visions of dodgy dealings. Of course this overload of info starts making him slightly crazy and obsessed with finding the truth. I wouldn’t call it the most original of concepts, nor the most riveting filmmaking, but I suppose some people are happy with average.

Rating: 2 outta 5.
