The Divide

Well damn that one got intense, can't believe I hadn't seen this film before now, it is well worth checking out, if your looking for a gripping thrill ride. Just like with every film, this has its ups and down, but that doesn't draw away from the enjoyment. With a group of somewhat strangers trapped together for however long, as they each slowly die from the fallout, each having to change in the face of this new world, some evolving to learn how everything works and others descending into madness / jealousy / or paranoia. Definitely worth checking out, just make sure to bring a big old bucket of popcorn and plenty of pop as you won't want to leave.

This has to be one of best physiological thriller movie I have ever watched and I have a watched a lot.. a lot of thriller movies.

I don't know why people hate this movie so much. Don't go for negative comments, you would miss a great GREAT film. This movie has so many negative comments because this movie has very strong elements of violence, graphic and sexuality which can't be digested by many people.

This movie is definitely not for children and even teens. This movie may have a strong physiological effect. Me and friends discussed this movie for months. You need to have a strong stomach to watch this movie.

Im not sure why some people here have given The Divide one star. One person even called it torture porn (Im not sure how many movies this reviewer has seen but I reckon he certainly doesn't know what the torture porn genre looks like). I cant say it was an "art" movie either which has been indicated (by some) for some reason. The Divide is an apocalyptic tale based on the aftermath of the destruction of NYC by nuclear attack and how a few survivors, sheltering in a basement of a building, slowly fall apart as their grim situation becomes apparent. As already stated, the acting is quite good for the most part, and as the movie develops some scenes will be a little unsettling for some but its all in the vein of the story. I enjoyed it immensely, all the more so for not hearing of the movie anywhere in the media. At the beginning it seemed as if it would just be another load of emotional drama loosely attached to the apocalyptic situation above (something which plagues TV series like The Walking Dead (just not enough zombies for me, and far too much chitty chat) but it soon became apparent that this was not the case. The Divide descends into a dark hell of humanities worse attributes and two characters in particular cause the viewer to cringe as they play out their terrible roles. All in all, The Divide was excellent, and any mockers here really should stick to movies polished and shined by the big Hollywood multiplex puppetmasters. This ones recommended by me.

I don't know why this rating is so low. If you like the dark side of humanity you will love this. It's totally believable and a great take on humanity at its lowest as opposed to the happily every after commercial stuff.

This film follows in that genre of French horror, most fans of horror appreciate. In your face horror which often deals with unpleasant issues, while being graphical and nasty.

As with any good horror film it should shock and make you cringe, then making you question. This horror film is no different, definitely not for the fainthearted or those who will take offence from its themes. Hell is other people and when forced to survive how low will they sink into depravity, while festering in their own stink.

6.5 out of 10 worth the watch just don't go complaining afterwards because it made you question your integrity
