Erika (17788 KP) rated Penny Dreadful - Season 1 in TV
Oct 24, 2017
Eve Green is everything in this show. She and Josh Hartnett are the saving graces. Out of all the penny dreadful/gothic horror, etc stories they could have pulled from, they chose.. Frankenstein, Dracula, and Dorian Grey? It could have been so much better. The season finale didn't make me feel like I wanted to watch seasons two or three.

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.

House of the Hanging Jade is a suspenseful tale of murder and obsession, all taking place against a beautiful Hawaiian backdrop. Lush descriptions of both the scenery and the food prepared by the protagonist leave you wanting more. Fans of both gothic romance and mystery novels should enjoy this story.

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.

Lauren Cohan (1 more)
Great location
Decent Horror film
When I first heard this was a creepy doll movie I didn't get my hopes up. Surprisingly I did enjoy it. Lauren Cohan of The Walking Dead is good as the Nanny. The Mansion is almost a character in itself looking like a Gothic Castle. It has some neat twists and was much better than I expected.
