Dorian Gray
Young and powerful Dorian finds himself slipping deeper and deeper into a world of sin, sex and celebrity, seemingly without any consequences. But a special painting gradually reveals his inner ugliness to all. How long can he hide the secret behind his eternal youth?

It's a morality tale told through amorality and the pursuit of pleasures of the flesh

By leaving nothing up to the imagination, Parker destroys the very essence of the film.

This uneasy mixture of horror and elegant wit, which worked so well originally, never really catches fire thanks to Parker's undistinguished handling.

Like the painting, B-grade horror movie fast loses appeal.

If it was Oscar Wilde who said that experience is the name that everyone gives to their mistakes, then this Dorian Gray is quite an experience!

A dismal mess.

These are interesting ideas, but they would work better if there was more decadence on show earlier on to nail Gray's corruption.

Colin Firth is perfect as the devil's advocate, as this adaptation of 19th century gothic taps into the modern zeitgeist.

While Wilde's wit remains firmly entrenched, there's also a gruesome vein of gothic horror, and elements of the original which existed in the subtext or were merely hinted at are brought graphically into the open.
