The Tell-Tale Heart

Overview

Themes of voyeurism and unrequited love compliment Poe's classic of murder and insanity in this superbly suspenseful loose interpretation. Anxiety-stricken librarian Edgar Marsh becomes infatuated with his next-door neighbor, but when he can't have her, he resorts to murder.
