Here’s the trailer for Antiviral, which was directed and written by David Cronenberg’s son, Brandon. It’s apparent that the body horror apple didn’t fall far from the tree that screams when you nail a birdhouse to it. Starring Caleb Landry Jones (Banshee from X-Men First Class) and set in the near future, Antiviral shows what happens when the public’s obsession with celebrities goes too far. Desperate to become an intimate part of their idols, fans flock to the Lucas Clinic to be injected with a disease harvested from inside various stars. It’s horrific, we’re delighted!
And here are a few ads for the nefarious clinic, and a trippy clip. Antiviral will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival next month.
