The Divide (2011)

When a nuclear explosion sends the survivors of a tenement building into the basement to survive they find their horrors have just began. This is Survive meets Lord of the Flies but post nuclear holocaust style. They throw a curve at you that sort of marks a turning point in the movie, but they leave the audience to wonder (as the players do) about the exact nature of the event, except that there is no help coming. The movie brings up the same issues that the two above mentioned movies do about morality, survival and civilized behavior, but doesn't dwell on them or get pushy (like the 5 minutes of Piggy crying over his broken glasses in Flies) but is considerably more graphic. There are a few places the drama grates- a couple of the characters are annoying as hell- but not bad enough to turn it off. Over all an entertaining if rather dark viewing experience. Call it leftover spaghetti that you are eating because there is nothing else in the fridge and you don't feel like cooking.
