Another animated adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's the Tell-Tale heart.
Its strongest aspect are the stylish black and white visuals, very reminiscent of Christian Volckman's Reinassance. (This short predates that movie by a year, though)
Now, while I have nothing against Bela Lugosi, I think this animation would have been much better without any narrating audio, since the scenes were pretty clear by themselves, and the voiceover used here was either distracting or redundant most of the time.
Movies are a different medium than literature, and sometimes, what works in paper not necesarily works on screen.
Still, an okay adaptation with nice visuals, disregard of the very intrusive narration.
6.5/10.
