The Divide

An interesting marketing technique. This film is still in production as this is considered an extremely early trailer. They slapped it up on their webshìte for 24 hourse before removing it............obviously it would be grabbed and passed around the web to create an online buzz.

Anywho, it's from Hitman director Xavier Gens and stars Michael Biehn (:D) as well as some reconisgable TV actors. It's about bombs (I think) that go off in New York and revolves around a group of survivors trying to survive in a locked room (That's what I got from this anyways)

Looks interesting with some nice shots

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention the poor-man's Inception trailer music :pac:

Wow this took a while to come out I believe its being released in April over here yet it's hit dvd/blu-ray in the coming weeks (or sooner ) from the reviews I've read it's pretty bleak especially the second half! Anyone seen it yet?

I saw it last year at a sci-fi film festival. Bleak is definitely the word - it's pretty damn good, especially considering what you normally get from American post-apocalyptic films. It's mostly a kind of chamber piece, though you get a few glimpses of what's going on outside the basement which ask more questions than they answer.

Definitely worth a watch if you like dystopian/apocalypse stories. Catch it in the cinema if you can, the larger screen and better sound help.

Milo Ventimiglia seems to have chosen this film in no small part to try and get away from the Peter Petrelli image most people will probably have of him.

It was shown at the Horrorthon in Dublin last year. I loved it. It was a very intense experience. It certainly painted a damning picture of humanity but unlike most horror films nowadays there was a point to the bleak tone and the ending worked surprisingly well.

Finally got my copy of this, when the UK Blu-Ray was canceled I decided that importing was the way to go and I'm so very glad that I did. It's a truly stunning piece of cinema that is amongst the bleakest 2 hours that I have ever sat through, that it takes place almost entirely withing the one location makes it all that more affecting. Watching the characters break down and devolve is fascinating, Milo Ventimiglia is particularly excellent in a cast who all bring their A game.

It's not a film for everyone and many will find it hard to get through but it's a stunning piece of cinema that deserves a far wider audience than it will ever likely receive.

A word of warning to anyone who picks up the DVD over here, the run time is listed at 108 minutes which is missing abut 14 minutes from the US release.

Edited to add that I've watched the ending 3 times since the film finished 20 minutes ago and I'm about to go make a cup of tea and then start forcing friends to watch it with me.
