The Divide (limited)

In this graphic and violent, post-apocalyptic thriller, 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.

fd5posterban120811 PFFFFT: Final Destination 5 Poster Banned in UK Because It Makes Kids Visually Upset

We live in a society that’s driven by fear, yet people freak out and complain over stupid (poorly designed) movie posters. Go figure.

The poster campaign for the DVD release of horror movie Final Destination 5 has been banned in the U.K. by the Advertising Standards Authority for upsetting children, reports THR.

The ad watchdog ruled that the poster, which shows a skull being shattered by steel rods driven through its mouth and eye sockets, must not appear again in its current form after upholding a slew of complaints from adults with upset children.

Welcome censorship.

The Warner Bros. release has been advertised by the imagery on posters on the side of buses and on billboards on the London Underground tube network. The campaign ran in August this year ahead of its August 26 rollout and the ASA received (a measly) 13 complaints that the poster was distressing and unsuitable for children to see.

Three people who complained claimed that their young children had become visibly upset when they saw the ad on a bus. These people are overprotective morons, IMO. READ MORE

The Divide Comic Book Becomes New York Comic Con Experiment

Now that I finally went broke and bought myself an iPad, reading comic books is once again the priority in my life (seriously, it’s amazing).

Making it’s debut at this weekend’s New York Comic-Con is Mondo artist James Flames’ comic book prequel to The Divide, Xavier Gens’ apocalyptic tale exploding into theaters January 13 from Anchor Bay. The film will be screening at NYCC this weekend and in honor of the event said comic will be available exclusively at Anchor Bay’s Comic Con booth, #430.

Inside you’ll find an exclusive look at pages 12 and 13 from the comic, which are actually kind of a spoiler for those of you looking forward to the film. Personally, having seen it, I’m DYING to know the origin behind these “specimens”. The cover art is also included.

The day is here and Warners and New Line Cinema’s hugely anticipated Final Destination 5 is now in theaters everywhere. Featuring real 3-D by James Cameron protege Steven Quale, “in this fifth installment, Death is just as omnipresent as ever, and is unleashed after one man’s premonition saves a group of coworkers from a terrifying suspension bridge collapse. But this group of unsuspecting souls was never supposed to survive, and, in a terrifying race against time, the ill-fated group frantically tries to discover a way to escape Death’s sinister agenda.”

As you saw earlier this week, I raved about the experience, stating that “it truly, whole-heartedly, genuinely, and without a shadow of a doubt IS the best [sequel in the franchise].”

But enough about me, Bloody Disgusting is a community, and your opinions hold equal weight to myself and our staffers. So take some time and write your own review to tell all of BD what YOU thought. Does Death still have it?

Death. It’s the most final of words; even in the thesaurus it is synonymous with words like ‘finish’ or ‘exit.’ To death, there’s no beginning, middle and end. There are no more birthdays, no more promotions at work. And that’s what makes death so damn terrifying- the fact that it’s all unknown. The fact that there really is nothing to look forward to once the clock stops ticking.

I was in high school when Final Destination hit theaters. I didn’t even bother to go and see it; I figured it was another cookie-cutter example of a teen slasher flick. From the sound of it, I was certain it would be some guy dressed as father death slinging a scythe around. Boy, was I wrong. It was an original; not necessarily a masterpiece, but a breath of fresh air amidst masked killers and by the book adolescent cinema. Now, here we are, eleven years later and looking dead in the eyes of ‘Final Destination 5′, the latest installment in the franchise. While most of us had tuned out after the massacre that was 4, those who believed in the idea stuck it out- and, thanks to their perseverance, this one is coming out smelling like roses. Some are going so far as to argue that this film is going to be the best of the series; while others, at the very least, have bestowed best sequel honors on the film. Since I haven’t seen the film yet, I can’t pass judgement- but our very own Mr. Disgusting actually liked it. Knowing how much he loves the series (probably as much as I love Justin Bieber), this is quite the compliment; and certainly a reason for me to be there this weekend.

In honor of Final Destination 5< ?a> (review), I took a trip down memory lane with story elitist Jeffrey Reddick, producer Craig Perry, and the man himself, actor Tony Todd; after all, if it weren’t for Flight 180, this bridge over troubled water wouldn’t exist.

This Friday Warners and New Line unleash Final Destination 5, their 3-D sequel that takes a sharp turn and makes some major changes (for the better). While I’m curious to see where other critics stand on Death’s latest game of cat and mouse, I personally thought it was a triumph, which is saying a lot for the fourth sequel in a franchise.

“It’s suspense overload that had me squirming in my seat like a 5-year-old watching “Barney”. Quale squeezes every ounce of air out of your body and leaves very little room to breathe… It truly, whole-heartedly, genuinely, and without a shadow of a doubt IS the best [sequel in the franchise].”

Miles Fisher, star of various online shorts (including “Pinkberry: The Movie”), scored the leading role in Warner Bros. and New Line’s forthcoming Final Destination 5, arriving in theaters August 12.

Even with his big screen debut just weeks away, Fisher is continuing with his love for parodies delivering “New Romance,” a Final Destination 5 viral video that spoofs the classic ’80s kids show “Saved By the Bell”. The short comes from American Psycho producer Jake Avnet and director Dave Green.

Make sure you stick with it because the deaths begin about halfway through…

Thanks to BD reader ‘Jarredah’ for tipping us off to EW who has the first clip from New Line and Warner Bros. Pictures’ Final Destination 5, which pits Death vs teens for a fifth time on August 12. In the aforementioned clip posted inside, FD 5 star Jacqueline MacInnes Wood experiences one of the worst procedures you can imagine during a visit to the eye doctor. Yikes!

One of my close friends (not associated with the movie, at all) caught a special showing of Steven Quale’s 3-D horror pic and absolutely loved it – going as far as to call it the best sequel in the franchise!

In this fifth installment, “Death is just as omnipresent as ever, and is unleashed after one man’s premonition saves a group of coworkers from a terrifying suspension bridge collapse. But this group of unsuspecting souls was never supposed to survive, and, in a terrifying race against time, the ill-fated group frantically tries to discover a way to escape Death’s sinister agenda.”

Set for a quickly-approaching release date of August 12, New Line’s Final Destination 5 3D continues the long-running franchise with a whole new cast of characters to be sliced, diced and generally mangled by that most merciless and relentless of horror-movie killers: Death itself.

Last November B-D was invited to visit the Vancouver set of the latest sequel to get a behind-the-scenes look at the production process, during which I was given the opportunity to witness the filming of one particularly bad-ass action sequence, chat it up with several members of the cast and crew – including first-time franchise director and James Cameron protégé Steven Quale – and marvel at the uncanny smoothness of ageless producer Craig Perry’s baby-soft skin. See inside for the full report.

Just last week we asked you Bloody Disgusting readers to hit us up on Twitter to ask Final Destination franchise producer Craig Perry questions about his forthcoming Final Destination 5, which arrives in theaters August 12 from Warner Bros. Pictures.

The first round of questions were absolutely fantastic: all you had to do was tweet @BDisgusting with your questions, accompanied by #FD5BD. Perry then compiled his favorite questions and answered them inside!. We’ll continue to get questions answered as long as you’re interested and stay engaged. Read inside to see the previous Q+A and then begin round 2 by following the above instructions (or click here).

Directed by James Cameron protege Steven Quale, the fifth film in the franchise begins with a suspension bridge disaster and takes the mythology in a new direction. “Death is just as omnipresent as ever, and is unleashed after one man’s premonition saves a group of coworkers from a terrifying suspension bridge collapse. But this group of unsuspecting souls was never supposed to survive, and, in a terrifying race against time, the ill-fated group frantically tries to discover a way to escape Death’s sinister agenda.”

Final Destination producer Craig Perry is a very good friend of the site, and a longtime supporter of the horror genre. In past years, we’ve had Perry talk directly to fans right here on the site. We’re going to try things a little different this time around.

Arriving in theaters August 12 is Warners Final Destination 5, which was directed by James Cameron protege Steven Quale. The fifth film in the franchise begins with a suspension bridge disaster and takes the mythology in a new direction. There’s a lot to talk about, which is why Bloody Disgusting readers can ask Perry questions via Twitter, with the answers being posted right here on the site!

All you have to do is tweet @BDisgusting with your questions, accompanied by #FD5BD. He’ll then answer random questions and send them to us to share with all of you at a later date. We’ll probably do a few run of these, so keep the questions coming (and be respectful, you guys!)

Update: I just got off the phone with producer Craig Perry who swears to me up and down that the trailer actually doesn’t ruin much at all. In light of this, I guess it’s pretty cool if they were able to make the trailer this jam-packed and somehow found a way to keep it fresh for viewers when it hits theaters this August…

These are the days I hate owning a horror movie website.

Warner Bros. Pictures released the second full trailer for Final Destination 5, which not only reveals the new plot twist, but it also puts on display a portion of what appears to be every single death in the film — not to mention a hefty portion of the opening suspension bridge disaster. I would do just about anything to go back in time and NOT watch it.

Directed by Steven Quale in 3-D, “Death is just as omnipresent as ever, and is unleashed after one man’s premonition saves a group of coworkers from a terrifying suspension bridge collapse. But this group of unsuspecting souls was never supposed to survive, and, in a terrifying race against time, the ill-fated group frantically tries to discover a way to escape Death’s sinister agenda.”

David Harley wasn’t a fan of the latest poster for the Steven Quale-directed Final Destination 5 3D, saying it didn’t do anything to separate itself from the horrid fourth film, The Final Destination. I’m thinking he may enjoy this newly release international one sheet that integrates the new plot with the well-known FD skull. Update: We have added an English-language version inside, thanks to reader ‘jarredah’.

In this fifth installment starring Miles Fisher, Arlen Escarpeta, Nicholas D’Agosto, Ellen Wroe, Meghan Ory, David Koechner, Tony Todd, P.J. Byrne, Emma Bell, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood and Courtney B. Vance, “Death is just as omnipresent as ever, and is unleashed after one man’s premonition saves a group of coworkers from a terrifying suspension bridge collapse.
