‘The Divide’s’ Mickey Promises That It Will Melt Your Face and Your Hair Will Fall Out
LITTLE GIRL: “I don’t want to stay down here. I want to go home now.”
MICKEY (Michael Biehn): “I know sweetie, but uncle Mickey says we have to stay.”
LITTLE GIRL: “Why?”
MICKEY: “Because your face will melt off and your hair will fall out.”
We’ve just landed a disturbing set of photos show the result of fallout in Anchor Bay’s horror-thriller The Divide (review) that opens in theaters January 13, 2012. Below you can dig on the new Fallout Progression photos for Rosanna Arquette, Milo Ventimiglia (above) and Michael Ecklund.
The award-winning makeup (Best Makeup FX, Sitges International Film Festival) for The Divide was done by artist Steve Kostanski, creating a disturbingly realistic look at the physical effects of fallout after a group of strangers narrowly survive a nuclear bomb. “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, thegroup begins to descend into madness, each turning on one another with physical and psycho-sexual torment. As supplies dwindle, and tensions flare, 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 himself or herself 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.”
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
