The Pale Blue Eye - 2022 - 6/10

A cadet has hung himself at newly established West Point.
Worse, while waiting for burial, his heart has been cut out.
A “retired” inspector is asked to investigate and solve this before the politicians try to close the academy.
No evidence, no witnesses. Only a fey, Southern cadet offers odd assistance and speculations.
E. A. Poe.
Knowing Poe is in this leads one to wonder whether this will go the detective route or supernatural.
Darkly photographed, with a gallery of talent, including Robert Duvall,
Engrossing most of the way, although afterward one may realize how tenuous the script had been.
