The Shrouds
2h 0m Body Horror, Drama, Thriller, Horror, Science Fiction 2024

A grieving widower creates a burial-shroud device to connect with the dead, drawing him into obsession, mystery and uneasy revelation.

Karsh is an innovative businessman and grieving widower unable to let go of his late wife. His solution is unsettlingly intimate: a device that allows the living to connect with the dead inside their burial shrouds. But what begins as an act of mourning soon becomes something darker, pulling Karsh into a world of obsession, surveillance, conspiracy and desire.

Rialto Recommends THE SHROUDS is a cool, uncanny meditation on grief, technology and the bodies we leave behind. Elegant, cerebral and deeply strange, it finds David Cronenberg in haunting late-career form-turning mourning into mystery, and intimacy into something deliciously disquieting.
