I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Divided into Zero is as far away from Hollywood as cinema can get. It's a bleak and surreal tale of a man cut at birth during his Caesarian delivery and who then becomes obsessed with razorblades, bodily fluids, and for some reason, kids. I got the movie, like most, as a bonus film on the Subconscious Cruelty DVD (I actually got the limited edition bluray but the quality isn't any better than the DVD so don't bother with it) and it's certainly in the same vein as the main feature. Both films seem almost experimental in their running and the content would probably shock most movie goers if they stumbled across them by mistake, so if you're not up golden showers, seeing a child nailed to a wall with a razorblade in it's mouth, or various cutting of the flesh scenes then stay away. I can't really say I enjoyed the movie, I think it's more about experiencing it, but it's something you sit and watch pondering....wtf?

Available on the second disc of Subconscious Cruelty. The comments on this short movie are extremely different, from one of the goriest films to the most boring one. and indeed, it's a special flick. It contains all kind of perverted things, from showing full frontal nudity from girl and man to golden shower to a child nailed to the wall. It's gory, it's indeed slow but I'm sure that some people will be offended by some scene's, especially those with the children. If you aren't into extreme films like Pig or Begotten then this isn't made for you. otherwise you will enjoy watching it. But you will have to find the Subconscious Cruelty DVD for a cheap price to watch it.

In `Le théâtre de la cruauté' Antonin Artaud wrote of a theatre that shakes and awakens the heart and the nerve of the audience. Director Mitch Davis transposes this point of view in cinema with his movie `Divided Into Zero'. The power of the images contribute to provide an intense experience into psychological violence and aesthetic research: through a non-linear structure, a freedom of reading is given to the viewer. The presence of cruelty, the fabric of violence includes in a poetic aesthetic; in this way, the violence depicted isn't gratuitous. It has a deep significance which takes its source into a slow narrative thread and fast short scenes which give the film all of its rhythm. The composition of the frame is a force of Davis. The closeup on the young girl's face, bleeding, (played by Mikaeka Davis, the director's young sister, who doubles actress Stephanie Keepman in this scene) is unforgettable: her intense, mouth-gaping gaze, makes me shudder. David Kristian's sound design goes with fluidity with the entire film; the ambient music compositions of Teruhiko Suzukia and Kristian are becoming a discreet actor.`Divided Into Zero' is a hybrid film, navigating between horror and art film; it brilliantly demonstrates and stretches the spectrum of horror film's possibilities.

Director Mitch Davis has created a truly wonderful breakthrough in contemporary horror with "Divided Into Zero". The film is unlike anything I have ever seen. Although very graphic depictions are illuminated (especially in comparison to today's screen culture), the film does NOT leave you with a nausea. Rather, the film leaves you with a haunted, yet highly inspired state of mind, as the viewer is engulfed in a true work of art. The direction takes the viewer on a journey through avant-garde, art, horror and and the honesty of a one of a kind maverick filmmaker. This film is truly unlike any others in the genre. The cinematography is brilliantly conducted as is the sound design and performances. What I really loved about this film is the all out disregard for belonging to any psarticular genre. Fans of contemporary horror cinema will not be able to catagorize this film very easily and experimental filmmakers and enthusiasts will definately not be able to box the film up into a particular "movement" in today's art and film circles. Lets all hope that more great art-horror films that push cinema into the extreme and present an honesty of humanity, continue through the maverick kind that is Mitch Davis.
