Over on the official distribution site for Xavier Gens’ upcoming horror flick The Divide, formerly known as The Fallout, they’ve posted a tiny look at the film’s early poster art and a much more detailed synopsis, both of which we have for you right here.
The artwork you can see to your right, and the plot crunch from ContentFilm is as follows:
The Divide is a high concept post-apocalyptic thriller that opens with pandemonium and a chaotic sprint towards the basement of a New York apartment building, just moments before the city outside is decimated…
When a cataclysmic explosion devastates New York, eight strangers take refuge in the basement of their apartment building, a converted fallout shelter designed by their paranoid superintendent Mickey. With just three connecting rooms it’s barely big enough, but with stockpiles of food and water, the group are at least safe from the horrors outside, and they settle in and attempt to fathom the catastrophe that has ended the lives of so many of their loved ones.
But suddenly men in HAZMAT suits storm their shelter and open fire. The strangers join forces in a desperate bid to take on this enemy with no one understanding what these HAZMATS are looking for and what drives them to be so merciless. With fatalities on both sides and the remaining HAZMATS temporarily pushed back and locked out, the worst is yet to come for the group. Cabin fever sets in as the perception of the shelter shifts from safe haven to claustrophobic rat trap. Fear of radiation poisoning and dwindling supplies play on their minds while the young, beautiful Eva has more immediate worries: Her fiancé, Sam, is weaker than the other males, who are slowly starting to regress into ruthless, violent predators.
As tension mounts, their sanctuary becomes a living hell, and with Sam powerless to protect Eva, she must rely on her wits to save herself from becoming at the mercy of the pack in a thrilling final act.
With twists and turns throughout, and no way of knowing who will make it out alive, The Divide is an action-packed psychological thriller that combines ‘Assault on Precinct 13’ with ‘Lord of the Flies’. To survive the end of the world, you first must survive each other…
The stars of The Divide include Milo Ventimiglia, Lauren German, Ashton Holmes, Rosanna Arquette, and Michael Biehn. Gens is directing from a screenplay by Karl Mueller.
