The Gorge (2025)

The Gorge (2025) delves into a sci-fi romantic thriller that veers between brilliance and chaos, premiering exclusively on Apple TV+. Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy star as Levi and Drasa, rival snipers perched on opposing towers above a fog-shrouded gorge that hides a monstrous secret. Forbidden from communicating, their loneliness sparks a dangerous bond, tested to its limits when the horrors of the gorge erupt, forcing them into a battle for survival and each other’s lives.

The chemistry between Teller and Taylor-Joy lights up the screen: his gruff, jaded charm clashes with her piercing intensity, imbuing the story with raw emotional power even when the script falters. The Hollow Men—ghastly branch-like soldiers—loom as a terrifying presence, though the film falters as its story moves quickly forward. Still, sniper duels and creature confrontations generate relentless tension, maintaining intense suspense despite the uneven pacing.

Visually, the film dazzles: jagged towers rising above a misty abyss, rendered with absolute precision, and computer-generated monstrosities as terrifying as they are hypnotic. The soundtrack, layered with taut strings and thundering pulses, heightens the unease, immersing the viewer in the nightmarish atmosphere of the gorge.

Though imperfect, The Gorge (2025) is undeniably captivating: a raw and chilling spectacle, sustained by stunning performances and dazzling artistry. It may stumble, but when it lands, it is heartbreaking.
