“The Tell-Tale Heart” (*1/2 out of four) was a dull adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s horror story about a tormented man (Patrick John Flueger) who continuously readmits himself to a medical facility to escape from his pending insanity. Yet another adaptation of a Poe story without any elements of power or fright which made his writing so powerful. Director Peter Bogdanovich plays a tormenting old man in this story but he should stay behind the camera rather than in front of it in the future
