Written by Dave Callaham (based on Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Tell-Tale Heart")

Based on Edgar Allan Poe's famous short story The Tell-Tale Heart, this modernization sees a man with a heart condition receiving a transplant. His daughter has a rare genetic disease and they've developed a very good relationship with the female doctor taking care of her. However, after the heart transplant, strange hallucinations start to plague him, visions of murder connected to specific people. On finding out who donated his new heart, he discovers it was a violent murder, and contacts the investigating detective – but these people in his visions start turning up dead.
