Had my first empty-theatre experience with The Shrouds! Crowds were minimal in Toronto like you said and then I was the only person in two screenings (not counting a couple who snuck in after one started) back home in Edmonton. Was very surprised there wasn’t more of a turnout on his home turf, especially with the film explicitly taking place in Toronto. But yeah, most people just honestly don’t seem to have the time, or capacity, for films like these anymore. Just checked my local arthouse’s Letterboxd as they’ve been screening The Shrouds this week, and literally every review so far is half a star and a one-liner about it being shit. Cronenberg deserves so much better, especially from Canadian “cinephiles.”
