Here at Dread Central we get all sorts of weird things in the mail. Take today for instance. We got a can of beans. Yes, beans. However, through a bit of trickery we’ve nailed down a clip from Anchor Bay’s The Divide for you.

The flick is directed by Xavier Gens and stars Lauren German, Michael Biehn, Milo Ventimiglia, and Rosanna Arquette.

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.

Look for a theatrical release for The Divide (review here) in January, 2012.
