The Divide

In the opening scene of The Divide we see a nuke hit New York. I guess it must have actually been quite a way from the city because some people have enough time to run down lots of stairs to the basement of their building.

OK. So far, so good. I thought the film might actually be an interesting look at how people cope with confinement and stuff. But it isn't. I think the writers read Lord of the Flies and thought "hey, we can do this in a bunker after a nuke hits NY!".

It's really rubbish. Just an excuse to try and show people doing terrible things to other people. It doesn't even have any of the surprise-factor of decent horror films. You can see it all coming.

The music is quite nice in places...
