Skip it. 'The Shrouds' is a David Cronenberg film with an intriguing premise about grief and surveillance technology, but it's a slow-burn sci-fi thriller that demands patience—and without critical validation to back up its ambitions, you're taking a real gamble on your evening. Unless you're a die-hard Cronenberg devotee, there are better ways to spend your night.

Plot

Inconsolable since the death of his wife, prominent businessman Karsh Relikh invents 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, and he sets out to track down the perpetrators.
