When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This film was frightening and scary and had me at the edge of my seat every minute. The mind bending reality of the real world was turned upside down as the story flows against the editing style of the movie and takes you forward and backwards at the same time. It was a fantastic watching experience as an independent film that takes a unique modern take on a classic and wonderful story. I was really surprised by Axel Harney and Bruce Spielbauer as well as Rick Dethlefsen as they are actors I would not immediately recognize, but truly drove the steering wheel of this film. The terrifying plot twist at the end was handled with such precision.

I really enjoyed this well crafted suspense thriller, especially because of its wonderful source material with the Tell Tale Heart. I had been waiting for a long time for someone to re-tell this story in a modern world. And the Director does it brilliantly here, utilizing this wonderful American Small town to tell his story. The Production Design was overall the most impressive set piece in the whole film.

I really really enjoyed this film. I am a fan of 1960's and 1970's horror film sensibilities and I think the cool thing about this picture is that there was a sort of flashback of homage to that style of filmmaking. The cast was actually shockingly good. The reason I identify the cast is because, most independent films suffer in casting when you lack the money to attain a name actor, but these actors came out of excellent theater or TV. Rick Dethlefsen's Edgar was absolutely spellbinding. The classic and vintage plot of Poe's story was re-told with brilliant success as it was adapted to a modern day small town America. I am eager to see more from the director.

When Jonathan (Axel Harney) kills his girlfriend and cuts her body in pieces, her father Edgar (Rick Dethlefsen) becomes obsessed to revenge his beloved only daughter. He seeks out Jonathan at his father real estate in an isolated area and when he finds the man hidden in the barn, he commits suicide hanging himself. Edgar has nightmares and listens to Jonathan'voice, affecting his personal life. He decides to revenge the death of his daughter killing Jonathan's father Mr. Nelson (Bruce Spielbauer); however his colleague and friend Caroline (Dana Blackstone) feels that Edgar is becoming deranged and follows him. They stop their cars on the road and Edgar kills Caroline. Then he breaks in Mr. Nelson's house and kills him. Then he cuts his body in pieces and hides them beneath the floor. Out of the blue, two police officers arrive at Mr. Nelson's house and interrogate Edgar about the whereabouts of the owner. What will Edgar do? "Animus: The Tell-Tale Heart" is a lame tale of revenge, madness and murder. The flawed plot is boring and I have unsuccessfully tried to watch this film since last Tueday, but I slept all these days. Today I have finally succeeded in watching but I regret. The story is annoying; the direction and performances are bad; the edition is irritating. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "Busca de Vingança" ("Seeking Revenge")
