Berenice - Edgar Allan Poe (horror film)

"Berenice" is a short horror story by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in the Southern Literary Messenger in 1835. The story follows a man named Egaeus who is preparing to marry his cousin Berenice. He has a tendency to fall into periods of intense focus during which he seems to separate himself from the outside world. Berenice begins to deteriorate from an unnamed disease until the only part of her remaining healthy is her teeth, which become the object of Egaeus' obsession. Berenice is buried, and Egaeus continues to contemplate her teeth. One day Egaeus wakes up from a period of focus with an uneasy feeling, and the sound of screams in his ears. A servant startles him by telling him Berenice's grave has been disturbed, and she is still alive; but beside Egaeus is a shovel, a poem about "visiting the grave of my beloved" and a box containing 32 blood-stained teeth.

Excellent film which caught the essence of the tale. Although, as Harrison Bloom stated, anyone unfamiliar with Poe's story may struggle to work out why Egeaus was so fixated.

Hi, I’m studying this book. Could you please give me some explanations on why Egeaus was obstinate ? Thanks

This is very good, but I wonder why the need to change the original text. First, the opening completely misses the first two great lines: "Misery is manifold. The wretchedness of earth is multiform." But the next paragraph is misquoted. It goes on. The fascination of the teeth is "...que tous ses dents etaient des idees. Des idees!" but I guess youtubers have limited language skills, so it must be translated. It is, at best, a very difficult short story to film.
