10 More Apocalyptic Horror Movies You Need To See

10. The Divide (2011)

Facing the apocalypse with people you know is hard enough on its own, so imagine having to do it with a group of strangers. That's the kind of horror The Divide brings in, and it's way worse than simple social awkwardness.

The Divide takes place in New York after a sudden nuclear attack. It follows a collection of survivors as they hunker together in a basement, taking refuge in a bomb shelter. But, their survival soon becomes tested after low supplies, outside attacks, and paranoia rip them apart.

It's fascinating to see how quickly polite society tears itself down in this film, as it doesn't take long for things to get uncomfortably violent. There's a visceral depravity to The Dive, as the bloodshed is depicted with horrifying realism. However, it doesn't let your mind walk free, as it is also a psychological thriller.

Seeing how far these people go in their desperation, and watching the effects of radiation poisoning slowly taking over some of the characters, is a recipe for a truly uncomfortable watch that plagues your mind and your stomach.

The Divide is a film that doesn't hold back on the horrors of a nuclear apocalypse, which is something almost everyone fears.
