Antiviral [4K UHD]

The Cult Debut Feature from Brandon Cronenberg – Now in UHD for the First Time

From visionary writer/director Brandon Cronenberg comes a chilling vision of a bio-obsessed future, described as "wild and creepy" (JoBlo), "smart and subversive" (Empire), and "a new perversity from a new Cronenberg" (Salon). Now available in 4K Ultra HD for the first time, this award-winning body horror thriller is more potent than ever.

Synopsis:
In a near future where celebrity obsession has mutated into biological consumption, fans pay top dollar to be infected with the same viruses as their idols. Syd March (Caleb Landry Jones, Twin Peaks: The Return, Get Out) is a star employee at The Lucas Clinic, specializing in harvesting celebrity pathogens for the ultimate intimate connection. But when Syd becomes infected with the disease of a megastar (Sarah Gadon, Cosmopolis), he spirals into a nightmarish underworld of corporate espionage and biological horror. As his own body begins to deteriorate, Syd races to uncover the dark truth behind the cult of fame—and survive its deadly side effects.

Co-starring Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange) and featuring the unsettling visual style of cinematographer Karim Hussain (Infinity Pool), Antiviral arrives newly restored in 4K from the original 35mm protection internegative, supervised by Brandon Cronenberg and Karim Hussain, with over 3 hours of new and archival special features.
