User Reviews
MidnightCinephile – 7/10
“I wasn't expecting much from a 70s TV movie, but this really captured the eerie atmosphere of Wilde's story. The slow build and the subtle acting gave me chills. Not perfect, but definitely worth a watch for horror purists.”
HorrorHound99 – 5/10
“Admittedly, the concept is classic and the cinematography has its moments, but the pacing dragged for me. I wanted more scares and less philosophical talk. It felt more like a drama with a hint of horror than a real horror film.”
GothicGaze – 8/10
“This is a hidden gem! The way the director plays with light and shadow to show Dorian's corruption is masterful. The portrait itself is terrifying, and the acting is top-notch. A must-see for fans of psychological horror.”
CreepyCanvas – 6/10
“I appreciated the attempt to stay faithful to the source, and the performances were solid. However, the horror elements felt underdeveloped, and the ending left me wanting more. It's a decent watch, but I've seen better adaptations.”
