Every heart tells a secret, the truth lies a heartbeat away. 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 hings begin to go awry as Terry becomes haunted by his own heartbeat and realizes that he must delve into the shocking death of the door who saved his life. Desperate to protect those closest to him - and his own sanity - Terry listens to the warnings coming from within and embarks on a griping quest to learn the secrets of the dead. (Pinnacle Films)

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 doesn't have the necessary potential to captivate, or to truly amaze or paralyze the viewer. It's a kind of a safe bet that doesn't bring anything special to the table but simply wants to mess with the viewer's head. That doesn’t really happen either. So, it remains that the film is rather mediocre rather than anything else. Not even Lena can save it.
