The Tell-Tale Heart
Directed by Ted Parmelee
Produced by United Productions of America, Columbia Pictures
A claustrophobic psychological descent into madness and guilt, told through the fractured perspective of a murderer haunted by his victim's eye.
A man's sanity is a point of contention as he confesses to murdering an elderly man, driven by the victim's pale blue 'vulture eye', culminating in guilt-induced auditory hallucinations of the victim's beating heart.
