Written and directed by David Cronenberg, it stars Vincent Cassel, Diane Kruger, Guy Pearce and Sandrine Holt. The synopsis: “Karsh [Cassel] is a prominent businessman. Inconsolable since the death of his wife, he invents GraveTech, 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. Karsh sets out to track down the perpetrators.”
