Antiviral 4K Ultra HD marks the worldwide UHD premiere of Brandon Cronenberg’s award-winning debut feature, a cold, clinical vision of fame, obsession, and bodily commerce. Set in a near future where celebrity culture has metastasized into literal infection, the film follows Syd March, a sales representative for a clinic that harvests diseases from famous clients and sells them to devoted fans seeking biological intimacy with their idols.
 
As Syd becomes increasingly entangled in the system he helps sustain, the boundaries between consumption, identity, and self-destruction begin to collapse. Starring Caleb Landry Jones in a breakthrough performance, alongside Sarah Gadon and Malcolm McDowell, Antiviral unfolds as a sharply observed work of body horror and social satire, echoing classic Cronenbergian themes while carving out a distinctly modern voice.
 
Newly scanned in 4K from the 35mm protection internegative and supervised by Brandon Cronenberg and cinematographer Karim Hussain, this release presents the film in its most pristine form, accompanied by nearly three hours of new and archival special features.
