Corruption Of Dorian Gray, The
Synopsis:
Dorian Gray is an innocent soul who arrives fresh on the London social scene and is quickly taken under the wing of Lord Henry Wotton. Wotton takes advantage of the handsome young man's naivete and leads Dorian along a dark path to explore the pleasures of London's seedier side where nothing is off limits and exploring deviance is encouraged. Unable to resist and slipping deeper into a world of sex, sin and criminality, Dorian's deeds grow ever more evil in an attempt to hide a secret that keeps him forever young while those around him wither with age. Is it too late for his redemption, his humanity and his soul?

Frankenstein
Synopsis:
Rescued near the North Pole, a dying Victor Frankenstein tells a British explorer Captain Robert Walton, an incredible tale of his cursed life. The eldest son of a wealthy Swiss family, Frankenstein is sent to University in Ingolstadt, where his brilliance and thirst for knowledge are soon clear to all. He develops an obsessive quest to create life and bestow it on an inanimate being, which he has constructed from the corpses of many experiments; something which horrifies even himself. When he succeeds in animating his creature, he is appalled by what he's done and hides from him; the creature disappears, only gradually does it become apparent that in creating this being, then rejecting him, Frankenstein has brought about the doom of all those who are dear to him.

Jekyll And hyde

A young lawyer visiting his Doctor friend at the London College of Tropical Diseases stumbles onto a series of horrifically dismembered corpses and takes it upon himself to hunt the killer. As more students die and funding to the college is threatened, the race is on to solve the case before it's too late. When links between the dead to his friend Henry Jekyll arise, the mystery takes an even more sinister turn. Is Jekyll next on the killer's list or is there something more horrifying to the mystery? You may think you know the Robert Louis Stevenson classic but perhaps there is even more to this curious case than you know.
