The film immediately opens on a nuclear bombing of New York City that sends a group of tenants and their salty, tough-as-nails super, Mickey (Michael Biehn, yes, THAT Michael Biehn) into an improvised fallout shelter in the building’s basement.

Although not exactly the most original premise I thought it was a nice spin on the apocalypse/ cabin fever approach. I especially loved how instead of having a “bad guy” who just loses it Jack Nicholson style, it chose to focus on the entire cast’s individual ways of coping/descending into madness.
There was never going to be a promise of a happy ending with a nuclear apocalypse having taken place, so prepare for a downbeat movie. However, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly why The Divide falls short of being a great, claustrophobic film.

If you're in the mood for a horror film, and not goofy horror like The Nun, but horror intended to disgust and y'know, horrify, then I cannot recommend The Divide enough. This movie perfectly pulls of its purpose of inducing feelings of disgust, sympathy, and despair.
