The divide, a post-apocalyptic story

In this post-apocalyptic story, we follow a group of people who take refuge in a basement after a devastating nuclear attack.

The leader of the group is Mickey, an authoritarian man who imposes his control over the other inhabitants of the shelter.

As the days pass, coexistence becomes increasingly tense and the conflicts between the survivors intensify.

The film explores human nature in extreme situations, showing how desperation and fear can transform people and bring out the worst in them.

The inhabitants of the shelter must fight not only against external threats, but also against their own inner shadows.

With an oppressive atmosphere and shocking moments of violence, The Divide immerses us in a disturbing and heartbreaking journey through human depravity and degradation in a post-apocalyptic world.

The film challenges the viewer to reflect on the limits of morality and the cruelty that can surface in extreme circumstances.

The Divide was nominated for the IFTA Award for Best International Film, which demonstrates its international appeal.

Lead actress Lauren German was praised for her heartbreaking and committed performance.

Commercially, The Divide struggled, grossing only $66,000 on a budget of $5 million. This low gross reflected the film's defiant and uncompromising vision.

However, it found a cult following on home video and streaming, where its harrowing intensity resonated with genre fans.
