A nuclear holocaust has nine people taking shelter in an underground bunker in Xavier Gens’ upcoming THE DIVIDE—but even though they’re sealed inside, they’re not immune from the physical effects of fallout. Check out a series of progressive special-makeup photos after the jump.

These shots depict the impressive work on (top to bottom) actors Milo Ventimiglia, Michael Eklund and Rosanna Arquette by Steve Kostanski, who won Best Makeup FX at the Sitges International Film Festival for these visages. Also starring Michael Biehn, Lauren German, Ashton Holmes, Courtney B. Vance, Iván González and Abbey Thickson, THE DIVIDE opens in its full unrated director’s cut in select theaters January 13 from Anchor Bay Films. See Fango #310, on sale next month, for interviews with Eklund and director Gens.
