The Divide

Dug it. Small, confined space. People in extraordinary circumstances going bonkers.

Don't be naive. People are animals, and this film is about the worst parts of humankind: decay, decadence, dominance... division.

An interesting movie about human nature, I guess. Well made and really unsettling.

ketu, because everyone else was corrupt?

this movie was NOT terrible. it's true that they should have explained the whole sci-fi but it was still quite enjoyable. Not great, but very enjoyable. People sometimes tend to over-think aspects of films and end up not enjoying it, which is what I believe happened here.

From the very beginning to the very end of The Divide, one thought kept lingering in my mind: Mickey should have taken them all out right from the start.

The characters in this film feel more like caricatures than fully realized individuals, and none of them are particularly likable. We have an innocent girl, her weak, manipulative boyfriend, a nice guy, a neutral dude, the older flawed lady, alpha male Mickey — played by the legendary Michael Biehn, who built the shelter — and two arrogant, obnoxious lads.

Let me be clear, the movie has its fair share of flaws. The characters often make unbelievably stupid decisions, and many situations could have easily been avoided. It relies heavily on some of the most frustrating horror tropes, like characters dropping their weapons, among others. You’ll find yourself angry at half the characters for doing despicable things, but even more infuriated by the others, who do literally nothing about it.

The visual side of the movie is fairly average, though there's a bit of creative camera work that shows they tried to do something different. And honestly, it’s worth noting — the masks were fantastic.

What I really want to focus on is the evolution, or rather, the regression, of the characters in these dire conditions. Their gradual, unsettling descent into animalistic, nihilistic form is just an excellent and chilling portrayal of the downfall of human spirit. Watching them fall into pure madness transforming into degenerated lunatics just crawls under your skin.

Due to its flaws, I really wanted to hate this movie. But as I lay in bed that night, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. The more I processed it, the more I realized just how disgusted and disturbed I felt by its theme and its portrayal. The initial disappointment I felt slowly morphed into an appreciation for its brilliance. I know it's not a great movie, but for me, it's the overall feeling and impact that matter most. And The Divide disturbed me in a way that was profoundly effective.

the end was good, but I think that she didn't have to let the others die like she did.

nothing bad about this movie, I liked it..

Wow ketu you might want to add a warning for spoilers...
