The Gorge is one of the most anticipated science fiction horror action films of 2025. Directed by Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange, Sinister) and written by Zach Dean (The Tomorrow War), this chilling, high-concept thriller is set to debut exclusively on Apple TV+ on February 14, 2025.
Featuring a powerhouse cast that includes Miles Teller, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Sigourney Weaver, The Gorge blends intense psychological tension, futuristic world-building, and eerie horror into a gripping cinematic experience. The film centers on two elite snipers, Levi (Teller) and Drasa (Taylor-Joy), who are stationed on opposing towers above a deep, mysterious gorge that holds an unspeakable secret.
Their mission is deceptively simple: monitor the gorge and prevent any threat from escaping. But as days stretch into weeks, the psychological toll of isolation sets in. Separated by distance yet bound by duty, Levi and Drasa form an unlikely connection, sharing stories and fears through radio communication. Their growing bond is shadowed by the creeping dread of the unknown force beneath them—something neither of them has seen, but both sense is watching.
Sigourney Weaver plays a high-ranking military official with hidden motives, adding further depth and complexity to the suspense-filled narrative. The film masterfully builds tension, using minimalistic settings and eerie silences to instill paranoia and fear, while also exploring themes of human connection, trust, and sacrifice in extreme circumstances.
With a sharp script, atmospheric direction, and haunting performances, The Gorge promises to be a standout entry in the sci-fi horror genre. It’s not just about survival—it’s about what lies within and beyond the darkness.
Mark your calendars—The Gorge premieres February 14, 2025, only on Apple TV+.
