Xavier Gens’ movie opens in January
Xavier Gens commanded our attention with the violent, stylish French survival horror film Frontiere(s). Now he’s back with The Divide, a film that played to SXSW audiences earlier this year and was quickly snatched up by Anchor Bay Films.
A release date has been set – January 13, 2012 – and Shock Till You Drop has your exclusive first look at the poster for the film which stars Lauren German, Michael Biehn, Milo Ventimiglia, Courtney B. Vance, Ivan Gonzalez, Michael Eklund, Ashton Holmes and Rosanna Arquette.
If you missed the teaser trailer that was released last year, check it out.
In this graphic and violent, post-apocalyptic thriller, nine strangers â all tenants of a New York high rise apartment â escape a nuclear attack by hiding out in the buildingâs 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.
