For anyone lucky enough to have caught Antiviral at this year’s London Film Festival, you will know that the film marked a stunning debut in the world of film for director Brandon Cronenberg, son of genre fave David.

Well, the good news is that a bigger audience should hopefully be able to revel in Antiviral’s body-horror weirdness, with the flick set for a limited cinema release on February 8, before a DVD release on February 11.

Set in the near future, when ordinary folk will go to ever-more extreme lengths to feel akin to their favourite celebrities, the film is an insightful, thought-provoking and chilling offering featuring a stunning turn from Caleb Landry Jones

Check out our review below to see just why we’ll be checking this one out again in February.
