It seems like we have all areas covered with the onslaught of pre-apocalyptic, apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic drama/thrillers/horrors the last few years. We have the preview for another today, which falls on the lower-budget side. Hitman director Xavier Gens directs a cast including Milo Ventimiglia, Michael Biehn, Rosanna Arquette, Courtney B. Vance and Lauren German here. After a big opening scene, it looks like the most of the film takes place in a bunker and if Gens is able to make that interesting (unlike something like Skyline), then I’d be interested. Check out the trailer below via Yahoo.
Synopsis:
In this graphic and violent, post-apocalyptic thriller, nine strangers — all tenants of a New York high rise apartment — escape a nuclear attack by hiding out in the building’s bunker-like basement. Trapped for days underground with no hope for rescue, and only unspeakable horrors awaiting them on the other side of the bunker door, the group begins to descend into madness, each turning on one another with physical and psycho-sexual torment. As supplies dwindle, and tensions flare, and they grow increasingly unhinged by their close quarters and hopelessness, each act against one another becomes more depraved than the next. While everyone in the bunker allows themselves to be overcome by desperation and lose their humanity, one survivor holds onto a thin chance for escape even with no promise of salvation on the outside.
The Divide hits theaters on January 13th.
