An 
company.
This was $1 well spent at Wal-Mart yesterday. The acting is this film was very solid. Adrienne Corri was sexy and perfect for the role of Betty. You could tell of her disinterest in poor Edgar by her head and body language. Laurence Payne did a fantastic job as Edgar too. You really believed that he was going mad.
This is a nice slow-burn horror movie that comes to a great climax after slowly building suspense. It is available in a $1 DVD with Chiller. I purchased it for Chiller, but decided to watch Tell-Tale Heart first. This movie was a great surprise. The movie also has great atmosphere and a solid story. Tell-Tale is my favorite Poe short story and it was brought to life wonderfully is this 1960's gem.
Go to Wal-Mart and buy it today.
