“Apple TV+ is not leaving any stone unturned for the future, despite 2024 not being over yet. The streaming juggernaut has recently revealed the first sneak peek of one of its major 2025 releases titled ‘The Gorge’. This film is a much-awaited venture from the director, Scott Derrickson, who previously delivered the hit horror movie ‘The Black Phone’ in 2022. The film is shaping up to be another exciting genre work from this director.

The official trailer of ‘The Gorge’ suggests the existence of terrifying creatures and hidden powers within the foggy depths of its central ravine. However, it is yet to be seen if this is to be taken literally.

The cast of ‘The Gorge’ boasts renowned actors like Anya Taylor-Joy, Miles Teller, Sope Dirisu, William Houston, and Sigourney Weaver. The script of the movie is penned by Zach Dean, who also wrote ‘The Tomorrow War’. The film seems to offer a blend of action and supernatural horror elements, with a touch of romance, a genre that Derrickson has rarely delved into before.

Despite the prohibition of communication between their respective guard towers, the film traces the journey of Taylor-Joy and Teller’s elite operatives as they form a bond and grow closer, albeit from a distance. Their relationship seems to be the driving factor that compels them to confront the horrors of their environment. Moreover, their bond might be the key to thwart the risks of the gorge from infiltrating the outside world.

Derrickson, known for directing ‘The Exorcism of Emily Rose’, ‘Sinister’, and 2016’s ‘Doctor Strange’, besides ‘The Black Phone’, has a track record of tackling demonic dangers and global threats on the big screen. With ‘The Gorge’, he is experimenting with blending multiple genres in a single movie. Viewers will have the opportunity to see how successfully he achieves this when ‘The Gorge’ premieres on February 14, 2025, on Apple TV+.”
