The Divide

*Updated with several clips!

From Frontier(s) director Xavier Gens comes the new post-apocalyptic thriller, The Divide (review), which blasts into theaters January 13 from Anchor Bay Films. A fresh clip has been shared that takes an axe to a dead body. Watch it below.

In this graphic and violent, post-apocalyptic thriller starring Michael Biehn, Milo Ventimiglia, Rosanna Arquette, Courtney B. Vance and Lauren German, “nine strangers—all tenants of a New York high rise apartment—escape a nuclear attack by hiding out in the building’s bunker-like basement. Trapped for days underground with no hope for rescue, and only unspeakable horrors awaiting them on the other side of the bunker door, the group begins to descend into madness, each turning on one another with physical and psycho-sexual torment. As supplies dwindle, and tensions flare, and they grow increasingly unhinged by their close quarters and hopelessness, each act against one another becomes more depraved than the next. While everyone in the bunker allows themselves to be overcome by desperation and lose their humanity, one survivor holds onto a thin chance for escape even with no promise of salvation on the outside.

‘The Night of the Hunter’ – Scott Derrickson Directing New Adaptation of Classic Novel

Published

Night of the Hunter

The classic 1955 movie The Night of the Hunter was adapted from Davis Grubb’s same-titled novel, and we’ve learned tonight that a brand new adaptation is now in the works.

THR reports this afternoon that Scott Derrickson (Sinister, The Black Phone) will be directing the new take on The Night of the Hunter, with C. Robert Cargill (Sinister) writing.

Derrickson will write the script alongside Cargill, the report adds.

Cargill previews on the platform formerly known as Twitter tonight, “For those unfamiliar, Night of the Hunter was based on a novel that was *MUCH DARKER* than the 1950s would allow. Very excited about this project and thrilled we can finally talk about it.”

The Night of the Hunter follows a religious fanatic, con man and murderer who marries a widow, knowing that her deceased husband had hid $10,000 from authorities following a bank robbery. The widow’s young children are reluctant to tell him where their real dad hid the money as the man plots more sinister ways to find where to find the cash.

Peter Gethers will produce through his KramMar Delicious Mystery Productions, and Amy Pascal will produce through her Pascal Pictures first look deal with Universal Pictures.

In an article right here on Bloody Disgusting, Meagan Navarro called 1955’s The Night of the Hunter a “southern Gothic masterpiece,” adding that the Robert Mitchum-starring film is “a beautiful work of art as well as a chilling horror tale that has influenced many modern filmmakers.” That original movie adaptation was directed by Charles Laughton.
