How Ominous! Another adaptation of the Oscar Wilde story. Film is about Dorian Gray (Ben Barnes), a man taken by the hedonism bug shown to him by Lord Wotton (Colin Firth).

As a sexy chiller it kinda works, having more in common with Hammer Films…

Quickly he falls prey to the more debauched elements of society, led by "Lord Wotton"…
