The nuclear war has happened. Now, nine survivors cooped in the basement of their tenement try to survive the fallout as
rations dwindle and fear consumes their rationality.
Fan-favorite actor Michael Biehn (Terminator, Aliens) portrays the building’s morally bitter super who is upset
about having to share his space with these people while Bobby (Michael Eklund)
and Josh (Milo Ventimiglia) are two young, selfish thugs that want to usurp
their will over the ill-fated group. Eva (Laura German) is one of a few level
headed individuals trying to keep the peace during the time of damnation, but
the longer they are all locked underground together the more psychologically depraved
and sadistic everyone becomes.
Director Xavier Gens (Hitman) and virtual newcomer writers Karl Mueller and Eron Sheean
deliver an eye-gouging, deliciously twisted psychological thriller. There are
several intense moments of in-fighting that lets the viewer feel just how tense
the situation is between the survivors and strong scenes involving torturous
mutilation and survival’s decrepit necessity. It's like Thanksgiving's Day dinner with Ed Gein as the host.
The
Divide is a two hour descent into the sick potentials of
humanity’s deteriorating psyche, but time flies right on by; you might not even
blink but you'll definitely cringe
.
