“How dark are you willing to go?” Janus Films has revealed another brand new US teaser trailer for The Shrouds, the latest feature film made by genre mastermind David Cronenberg. This originally premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival last year, earning mixed reviews from critics at the fest. “The Shrouds centers on Karsh, a prominent businessman. Inconsolable since the death of his wife, he invents GraveTech – a revolutionary and controversial technology that enables the living to monitor their dear departed in their shrouds. One night, multiple graves, including that of Karsh’s wife, are desecrated. Karsh sets out to track down the perpetrators.” It’s inspired by the idea of having a permanent connection with the dead, but goes beyond that as Cronenberg explains his own “shrouds” are “cinematic devices” and calls this as “cemetery cinema.” Starring Vincent Cassel, Diane Kruger, Guy Pearce, and Sandrine Holt. The mysterious, macabre thriller about the dead is heavily influenced by Cronenberg’s wife’s passing a few years prior. If any of this intrigues you, stay tuned for the full trailer before the film’s US release coming this April. Get a peek.
