Watch First Footage from New David Cronenberg Movie 'THE SHROUDS' Right Here!

Horror Master, David Cronenberg is back with a brand new film that sure to get your ghost. The new flick is titled ‘THE SHROUDS’ and before the films premier at Cannes, we have a look at the movie below.

The teaser trailer for The Shrouds was first shared by Variety this morning. Watch it below for a cryptic first look at Cronenberg’s exploration of what he calls “cemetery cinema.”

Vincent Cassel (Irreversible, Eastern Promises) stars alongside Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds), Guy Pearce (Memento) and Sandrine Holt (“Fear the Walking Dead”).

Variety previews, “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.”

Cronenberg tells the outlet, “Most burial rituals are about avoiding the reality of death and the reality of what happens to a body. I would say that in our movie this is a reversal of the normal function of a shroud. Here, it is to reveal rather than to conceal. I was writing this film while experiencing the grief of the loss of my wife, who died seven years ago. It was an exploration for me because it was not just a technical exercise, it was an emotional exercise.”

“In a way, the shrouds that my main character has invented are cinematic devices,” he further details. “They are creating their own cinema, a post-death cinema, a cinema of decay. Before writing the script, I was aware that there was a cinematic aspect to the shrouds, creating their own strange grave cinema, cemetery cinema.”
