Jess Franco's surreal, sexually explicit riff on the famous Oscar Wilde story features his main muse, the gorgeous Lina Romay (ROLLS ROYCE BABY), in one of her most powerful and raw performances. Romay stars as vampiric aristocrat Doriana Gray, a fluid-drinking succubus who shares a strange bond with her sexually voracious twin sister. It seems that when one woman feels aroused, the other sibling experiences every sensation, a phenomenon that is illustrated in shocking, salacious detail when a sexy young reporter comes to call...
Full of hypnotic imagery, dreamy music and dynamic supporting turns from frequent Franco collaborator Monica Swinn, DORIANA GRAY (aka MARQUISE DE SADE) is a highlight of the director's '70s output and one of the finest of his pictures made for Swiss exploitation mogul Erwin C. Dietrich.

"Really liked this one, it's a visual feast for a fan of Lina Romay, and the other women appearing (particularly Martine Stedil) are very beautiful and sexy as well. I'm a long time fan of Jess Franco's work, and Lina Romay in particular appeals to me. I love her exhibitionist nature, which is a treat for an old voyeur like me to behold."
"Doriana Gray is a visually ambitious flick that reimagines familiar literary themes through the lens of European genre cinema. Rather than simply retelling a classic story, it creates its own identity with a dreamlike atmosphere, stylish direction, and an emphasis on psychological intrigue. The production’s art direction is one of its biggest strengths. Rich set design, elegant costumes, and expressive cinematography give the film a distinctive gothic look that complements its themes of beauty, vanity, and corruption. While I wouldn’t call it a universal masterpiece, it’s an intriguing and memorable film that rewards viewers who appreciate unconventional storytelling and visually driven cinema. Its unique style lingers long after the credits roll. Overall, this is a beautifully presented release of an underseen cult film that’s well worth discovering."
"I wonder if Wilde would've approved? He clearly wasn't one for Victorian morals so I like to think even he would've found something to like with the lovely Miss Lina Romay and the interpretation of his story."
"was not prepared for this succubus flick but it will never leave my brain"
"But it was exactly what I need and uncle Jess knows that! Very surprised how much i liked this one!"
"Never heard of seen this before, was cool to see Delirium Home Video become a partner labels. The quality of the slipcover is nothing short of amazing, I got confused because raro put out Doria Gray on Blu-ray too and that it was the same movie but just the title is the same!"
"Great restoration and slipcover. A unique adult film that has quite a lot of atmosphere."
"Great looking slipcover, excited to watch this one soon !"
"A slow burn, glossy and atmospheric sexy flick featuring none other than the luscious Lina Romay and the Franco friends we've seen in his movies from this timeline. Franco always finds the most captivating and interesting locations for his movies. Especially his skin flicks. The mansion in this film is a trip to behold. Recommended mainly for Franco enthusiasts & collectors."
"Great new line glad to start getting this stuff on blu ray"
