Cronenberg's horror feature feels personal.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In the opening sequence of David Cronenberg's eerie tale of grief and conspiracy, Karsh experiences a nightmare, in which his dead wife's corpse gets destroyed. He awakens in a dentist's chair, during which his doctor asserts that grief is rotting his teeth. How a simple scene could possess such rich connotations for the story to come is a testament to Cronenberg's creativity and value of thematic storytelling.

Pros Cons The Shrouds Tests Our Understanding Of Grief With Conspiracy Karsh owns a restaurant adjacent to a cemetery, of which he has part ownership. For this cemetery, he invented a revolutionary system called GraveTech, which enables loved ones to see inside graves and connect with their deceased loved ones. Upon observing bizarre things in the 3D picture of his late wife Becca’s corpse, Karsh solicits the help of family and friends to find answers.

Cronenberg's direction is akin to an experimental love letter to broken souls overcome by despondence and heartache. He uses otherworldly imagery, AI, and avant-garde storytelling to grant us insight into someone else's grief thematically and visually. At its best, The Shrouds warmly invites us to go on a conspiracy journey with Karsh and Terry to fully understand his mental state at the time of ruination.
