Ever since she first hitched a ride in Platinum Dunes’ stellar 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, Lauren German has captivated horror fans with her good looks and impressive acting chops. But, despite star turns in Eli Roth’s Hostel II, actor-turned-director Thomas Jane’s Dark Country, and ABC’s short-lived mystery series “Happy Town,” the 32-year-old actress’s genre offerings have been few and far between.

This year, however, German returns to horror in French director Xavier Gens’ (Hitman) apocalyptic frightener The Divide. Leading a cast that includes Michael Biehn, Rosanna Arquette and Jennifer Blanc, German plays one of eight survivors battling Hazmat teams and cabin fever while cooped up in a small New York apartment after the majority of the city’s population is wiped out by a mysterious blast.

The Divide will hold its premiere this March at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas.
