Dorian
While temporarily working in a photographic studio with the famous photographer Bae, the simple and handsome worker Louis meets her manager Henry, who is impressed with his beauty. He invites Louis for taking some pictures, gives the artistic name of Dorian to him as a homage to "Dorian Gray" and a framed picture of him. Louis wishes to have the same fate of Dorian Gray, and from this moment on, he becomes very successful in the career of model. As years go by, he notes that only his picture ages, and he has the same face of years ago.
Why it matters
A modern reimagining of the Dorian Gray myth that blends supernatural horror with early-2000s fashion world decadence.
- Pivots classic Oscar Wilde themes into a sleek, atmospheric thriller steeped in vanity and eternal youth anxieties.
- Showcases an underappreciated indie take on body horror through the aging portrait’s grotesque transformations.
- Best for fans of psychological horror and moral decay stories craving a cult-flavored, low-budget aesthetic.
- Not a flawless gem—some pacing drags and effects feel dated—but its ambition and eerie mood reward patient viewers.
