Divinity Featured, Reviews Film Threat
RIGHT IN THEATER! If “far, man” are your three favorite words, then knock on the door to see writer/producer/director Eddie Alcazar’s bizarre sci-fi flick, Divinity. In the future, fewer people will be born due to mass infertility. However, people are living longer thanks to Divinity, the popular drug from Pierce Consumer Products. Discovered by Sterling Pierce (Scott Bakula) and perfected by his son Jaxxon (Stephen Dorff), the drug improves physique and promises immortality. With his brother Rip (Michael O’Hearn) as his spokesman, Jaxxon runs Pierce while ensuring that the trade secrets of Divinity’s formula are kept.
Meanwhile, in another paradisiacal location, Ziva (Bella Thorne) and her pure creatures are watching the madness of humans, waiting for what’s to come. Jaxxon was held captive by the Star brothers (Moises Arias and Jason Genao) one night. They tied him to a chair and forced undiluted Fate into his veins. Jaxxon screams that the dose will kill him, while the Star brothers think otherwise. Then Nikita (Karrueche Tran) arrives at the door as if she were hired for it. She didn’t know, when the Star brothers answered, that the man who hired her was sitting in the back seat, his mouth taped shut and a needle in his hand. I just finished watching it and want to watch it again. CURRENTLY. Divial is the Eraserhead of the 21st century, because now a new generation can marvel at their own midnight black-and-white movies. Alcazar makes the same smart moves that Lynch did in layering a layer of surrealism over solid plot frameworks. This makes the whole journey strange but easy to follow. Of course, this is no ordinary movie, and that’s what makes it such a glorious monster. Most cult movie connoisseurs will agree when they take a look at the old-fashioned title credits shot on what looks like a Commodore 64.
