Plots(1)
Hardworking single dad Terry (Josh Lucas) has a new lease on life, he has recovered from a recent heart transplant and met a beautiful woman. But things go awry as he becomes haunted by his own heartbeat and realizes that he must delve into the shocking death of the donor who saved his life. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (2)
It’s a decent and average thriller, but I have a big issue with its supernatural elements. I’m OK with the donated heart’s forcing the receiver to take revenge on the murderer of the donor, but (and spoiler alert!) that the dead heart comes to life when it hears the screams of its beloved, whose life is in danger (end of spoiler), that’s no paranormal activity, that’s a fairytale. Whatever, I had quite some fun and I really loved the last scene. 3*

"Tell-Tale" does not have the necessary potential to captivate or truly impress or astonish the audience. It is a safe bet that doesn't bring anything special, but simply wants to confuse the viewer a bit. Even that doesn't happen much. Therefore, the film remains rather mediocre than any other. Not even Lena can save it.
