Siouxsie and the Banshees' Steven Severin provides the musical score for this stylized, contemporary take on The Picture of Dorian Gray concerning an artist who kills to summon inspiration, and the American art guru attempting to unearth the painter's secret. Ten girls are dead; their beauty immortalized in ten stunning portraits. As an American art guru ventures from France to Thailand in hopes of discovering the secrets behind the ill-fated girls and the powerful portraits, the dark power of lust and depravity slowly begins to corrode his soul. Later, as more paintings begin to turn up, and more girls begin to die, it quickly becomes apparent that another artist has discovered the key to immortality through art. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
