Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated The Picture of Dorian Gray in Books

Nov 9, 2017 (Updated Nov 9, 2017)

Gruesome, grisly, Gothic horror

There is no true horror than the horror humans create themselves. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a classic tale of hubris and vanity, and the sins that associate themselves with such. Oscar Wilde's macabre style is fascinating for its time, and the idea that the painting is a representation of his Gray's own soul is intelligent.

Growing Darkness

Gwen- is a really good period folk horror drama that has elements of gothic, supernatural and psycholoigcal horror. Eleanor Worthington Fox and Maxine Peake are really good in this film.

The plot: Desperately trying to hold everything together, young Gwen struggles with her mother's mysterious illness, her father's absence and a ruthless mining company that's encroaching on their land. As a growing darkness begins to take grip, the local community grows suspicious and slowly turns on the beleaguered family.

Its a slow pace film but it does get intresting, intense, supernatural, gothic and psychological overtime. Its a good horror film.

Gothic, supernatural series

only only four episodes in but keeping me hooked. It’s slightly gothic with the setting, a big house set on the cliff end with lots of rooms and history to it. If you are a fan of the supernatural, fantasy, slight horror ( not too much) then this probably up your street. The story line is slowly unfolding so you a,y to start at the beginning to understand the whole plot.

Predictable (0 more)

This was a chilling read. Kept the suspense all the way through. Throughout the novel, however, it became predictable as to what would happen. A lot of horror troupes found themselves repeated. There is a lot more to this book than what is presented on the surface. If you're a fan of gothic horror, give this one a shot.
