The Shrouds

There are movies that have ambiguous & abrupt endings, done for effect (Blade Runner) and then there are movies that stop 2/3rds of the way through the conventional three-act structure, and it's jarring in a bad way.

This film is in the second group, unfortunately.

In an era where many stories that could have been a movie are being stretched into a mini-series, often unnecessarily, this story could have worked better as a mini-series (and may have attracted more eyeballs to it).

Even so, the soundtrack, acting, costumes & cinematography are all excellent, and you should watch it at least once. It's one of Cronenberg's least gory & unsettling movies.

[Filmin] Through the pain of loss, the film constructs a disturbing web of conspiracies that unfold within one another, yet persist in their mysterious nature. But above all, it's the story of an obsession with remaining connected to the loved one even after death, a kind of sentimental necrophilia that, on the surface, is represented through the protagonist's erotic impulses and his relationships with other women. It's as confusing as it is intriguing, a very peculiar vision of grief that is represented through a certain form of necrophilia.

Sex, death and tech may be
an aphrodisiac for hardcore Cronenberg fans, but more casual viewers are likely to find it all rather slapdash and undercooked here.

**I like the left one.** My first Cronenberg, an unusual experience. I enjoyed the eeriness and ambiguity. But overall, I wasn't hooked. The mystery had me at times, but the characters themselves weren't captivating at all. _Not worth watching._

Elevated horror must stop, maybe you aré afraid of mud in your shoes but that no becomes a horror for the rest of us, ohhh you aré afraid a fly in your meal, damn that Is not horror, I am tired of this movies, please stop, this Is one of the worst films I ever seen, and I know Cronembergs' work, there Is nothing here, start weird and ends meeeehhh, 2 HRS just to see a plot that It was solve in the las 10 minutos, please avoid this m1erdddddd4 at any cost

The Shrouds is the kind of movie that people use to prove that critics are out of touch. The dialogue is atrocious, the plot is inscrutable, and if this was from any director except Cronenberg it would be derided as vapid trash.

It is only April and I can say with confidence that this is the worst movie I will see this year.

That was the weirdest Tesla commercial I have ever seen
