David Cronenberg’s new movie The Shrouds received a limited theatrical release from Sideshow and Janus Films back in April, and we’ve been waiting on an at-home premiere date for the last couple months. Thanks to a Fangoria report this morning, we’ve now got one.
The Shrouds will stream exclusively on The Criterion Channel on July 8, 2025. According to the site’s report, you’ll also be able to rent the film on VOD outlets on the same day.
Fangoria has also shared an exclusive clip from a new Cronenberg interview that will be streaming on The Criterion Channel on July 8 as well, which you can check out down below.
Here’s the official synopsis for David Cronenberg’s The Shrouds…
“In an eerie, deceptively placid near-future, a techno-entrepreneur named Karsh (Vincent Cassel) has developed a new software that will allow the bereaved to bear witness to the gradual decay of loved ones dead and buried in the earth. While Karsh is still reeling from the loss of his wife (Diane Kruger) from cancer—and falling into a peculiar sexual relationship with his wife’s sister (also Kruger)—a spate of vandalized graves utilizing his “shroud” technology begins to put his enterprise at risk, leading him to uncover a potentially vast conspiracy.”
Janus Films previews, “Written following the death of the director’s wife, the new film from David Cronenberg is a profoundly personal reckoning with grief and a descent into noir-tinged dystopia, set in an ominous world of self-driving cars, data theft, and A.I. personal assistants. Offering Cronenberg’s customary balance of malevolence and wit, The Shrouds is a sly and thought-provoking consideration of the corporeal and the digital, the mortal and the infinite.”
Guy Pearce (The Brutalist) and Sandrine Holt (“Fear the Walking Dead”) also star.
Because it’s just how David Cronenberg gets down, The Shrouds is officially rated “R” for “Strong sexual content, graphic nudity, language and some violent content.”
