“I’m paranoid now… things are getting weird.” Janus Films + Sideshow have revealed the full official US trailer for The Shrouds, the latest feature film made by genre mastermind David Cronenberg. This already premiered and opened in most other countries last year, finally getting a US debut this spring. The Shrouds centers on Karsh, a Toronto 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. The Shrouds will open in the US limited on April 18th, with a nationwide release in more theaters the week after.
Here’s the main official US trailer for David Cronenberg’s latest film The Shrouds, direct from YouTube:
