Scott Derrickson’s The Gorge is a thrilling blend of science fiction, horror, and action, wrapped in a high-stakes romance that pits two elite snipers against an unspeakable nightmare. With an intriguing premise, pulse-pounding action, and a chilling sense of mystery, the film delivers an engaging experience, even if it occasionally stumbles under the weight of its ambition. Anchored by strong performances from Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy, The Gorge weaves together military suspense, monstrous horrors, and a forbidden love story into an intense cinematic experience.
Watched this without reading any reviews/synopses or watching any trailers.
It’s fun, I enjoyed it. I wouldn’t really call it a horror. They do mix scifi/action/romance in a cool way. Relatively original idea as well. Anya Taylor-Joy was really good.
A mini-series to flesh out the lore would have worked well too.
Some parts about the setup felt a little bit unrealistic (in a distracting way, not being nit-picky), but it’s a minor thing.
Check it out!
