Watch The Dead Decompose In First Image From David Cronenberg's Latest Flick 'THE SHROUDS'

Body horror is a must when it comes to the Cronenberg family and David Cronenberg is bringing us just that with the new film, ‘THE SHROUDS’, and we’ve got a first-look image this afternoon.

The image comes courtesy of the long-running French film magazine Cahiers du Cinéma, and it was shared on Twitter by @TerenceYiBo today. Check out the magazine pages below.

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

Deadline had detailed, “Cassel will play Karsh, an innovative businessman and grieving widower, who builds a novel device to connect with the dead inside a burial shroud. This burial tool installed at his own state-of-the-art – though controversial cemetery allows him and his clients to watch their specific departed loved one decompose in real time.

“Karsh’s revolutionary business is on the verge of breaking into the international mainstream when several graves within his cemetery are vandalized and nearly destroyed, including that of his wife. While he struggles to uncover a clear motive for the attack, the mystery of who wrought this havoc, and why, drive him to reevaluate his business, marriage and fidelity to his late wife’s memory, as well as push him to new beginnings.

“Sandrine Holt plays a mysterious woman, the wife of a billionaire, who contacts Cassel’s Karsh about a strange project involving her husband.”
