Genre

Per MOS:FILM, . Genre classifications should comply with WP:WEIGHT and reflect what is specified by a majority of mainstream reliable sources.. On that, i've compiled early reviews from major sources discussing the genre from rotten tomatoes.

Screen Daily: "There’s a light, effective touch of body horror – a reminder of his enduring power to shock, although it pales in comparison to the delirious theatrics of fellow Cannes Competition entrant The Substance." here
Slant Magazine " The Shrouds could be said to be a mystery tale—one that, to give the film even more of a topical flavor, eventually involves the possibility of both Russians and Chinese interested in GraveTech." here
Toronto Star "showcasing his fascination with body horror, advanced technology and high paranoia in a way that also genuinely touches the heart." and "Are the vandals and hackers the same people and what do they want? The movie shifts into spy thriller mode as Karsh, Maury and Terry follow a trail that could lead to a Chinese and/or Russian plot to monitor westerners via their graveyard rituals or which could lead to nothing at all, a paranoid's dead end." here
Time Out "he Shrouds is a film about grief and moving-on that’s exactly as you imagine the writer-director of Scanners and Crash might approach it. He looks to body horror and sexual imagination to answer the question: how do you deal with losing the person you love and how do they continue to exist in your life after death?" here
IndieWire "‘The Shrouds’ Review: David Cronenberg Draws on His Wife’s Death for a Brilliantly Cerebral Thriller About the Physicality of Grief" here
The Guardian (hoo boy) " a quasi-murder mystery and doppelganger sex drama combined with a sci-fi conspiracy thriller" here
Variety "But with “The Shrouds,” Cronenberg is tripling down on body horror. He’s 81 now, and this may be his way of saying that he’s not going to go gentle into that good night." here

Based on this, I'm going to change the genre in the lead to body horror. If other issues or more content I've missed pops up, please bring up anything I may have overlooked. Andrzejbanas (talk) 20:22, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
