π¨βπ¨ The Picture of Dorian Gray π§ Cursed Portrait Contest
-
"The Picture of Dorian Gray" is a classic gothic thriller/horror movie inspired by the book by Oscar Wilde.
(A short synopsis of the story is given here, though it is not required reading: https://www.brianrxm.com/comdir/cnsmovie_picturedoriangray.htm)The story is simple:
A gentleman makes a wish on a statue that is said to grant wishes. He wishes that he remain young and that the portrait he is having painted of himself "absorb" the tell-tale signs of his aging. His wish is granted, and later, his heart, hardened by a woman, turns bitter and filled with sinful desires. Over the years, as he pursues these desires and becomes more wicked, the painting changes, slowly at first, eventually to reveal his inner-self, while outwardly, Dorian remains youthful and innocent looking.
