Xavier Gens’ thriller is based on a situation in the aftermath of an apocalypse. The film opens with a group of nine tenants of a New York high rise building escaping a nuclear attack, by seeking refuge in the basement of the same building. With boulders falling all over the place, their routes of making their way out of the basement have been sealed. Graphically demonstrating a lot of violence in the very beginning, the film moves on to depict the group stuck in the basement without any help. As we watch The Divide online, we find their cries deaf ears, a fact that fills them with frustration to the hilt. The film here depicts human emotions of frustration and despair, when the soul admits a checkmate from life and recognizes the end knocking its doors. As hours pass by, the stuck strangers are overtaken by feelings of madness as they take turns to take it out at each other pumped up by both, psycho-sexual and physical torture. While getting into the basement, the men had taken supplies with them to eat and live on for a few hours. The supplies were slowly coming to an end, and tensions starts mounting in that foul smelling chamber of theirs. Their acts turn meaner, as their souls are slowly conquered by feelings of hopelessness and death waiting to engulf them, once and for all. Slowly, they appear more and more inhumane towards each other, and seem to be giving in completely to all the frustration boiling inside.. Only one among them was capable of holding on to his emotions, his character and his behavior by not submitting to all the frustration like his comrades. He knows there is a tiny chance to escape the basement, and with little hope of salvation outside, he decides to go ahead and try his luck for a heroic escape.
