Also known as "Bucket Of Blood", this obscure gem is a simple and very short tale about a young man who murders the elderly man who is taking care of him.
Why does he kill him? The old man has a deformed eye that begins to really bother the younger man, and it finally causes him to snap and kill the old man and then bury him in the floorboards of his home.
The young man is slowly driven insane by what he believes to be the dead man's heart beating.
I had never heard of this film until Greg Luce at Sinister Cinema started offering a beautiful 35mm transfer earlier this year. Yes, it's based on the famous Edgar Allen Poe tale, and yes, it can be overly melodramatic at times, but this is a must for all horror fans.
The cast includes Norman Dryden, John Kelt, Yolande Terrell and James Fleck.
