The Shrouds

Death is front-and-center in the latest metaphor-heavy film from the body horror king.

...David Cronenberg is interested in how we decay. And so is Karsh (Vincent Cassel), who has taken his sorrow over the death of his wife Becca (Diane Kruger) and turned it into a tech entrepreneurship.

...a contorted sphinx without a secret, an eroticised necrophiliac meditation on grief, longing and loss that returns this director to his now very familiar Ballardian fetishes.

David Cronenberg’s disquieting story of grief and mourning.

It could be too cerebral for body-horror devotees, but give it a chance and it might just crawl right under your skin.

Body-horror master David Cronenberg returns with one of his most potent movies, a paranoid, tech-based sci-fi thriller that's bold enough to deal in uncertainty and illusion.
