What lurks inside of The Gorge? A new sci-fi horror movie from Apple TV+ and Skydance doesn’t directly ask that question, but in teasing otherworldly horror, this new movie is also smartly holding back what exactly it is we’re supposed to be worried about. Directed by Scott Derrickson (who helmed the first Doctor Strange) The Gorge teases a minimalist sci-fi premise, which is taking a cue from early press materials for the original 1979 Alien. Back then, the winning strategy was simple: Don’t show anybody the creature. Will this trick work again?
Arriving in 2025, The Gorge tells the story of two snipers, Drasa (Anya Taylor-Joy) and Levi (Miles Teller) who each guard one side of a massive gorge, somewhere in the world. What they guard is a secret, but each is tasked with ensuring it never escapes. IGN recently dropped first-look photos from the movie, which were followed by images released by Apple.
