The Gorge

Save

Summary

Former US Marine and scout sniper Levi accepts a covert mission from high-ranking government operative Bartholomew to travel to an undisclosed European location and protect the western flank of a mysterious fog-shrouded gorge. Levi's predecessor, Royal Marines Commando JD, discloses the chasm contains strange creatures known as the Hollow Men that will attempt to escape by scaling the cliff walls and must be stopped at all costs. Contact with the eastern tower is strictly forbidden. Lithuanian assassin Drasa begins her year-long assignment on the same day as Levi on the eastern wall and she flouts rules to strike up a long-distance flirtation with him using binoculars and a whiteboard. As seasons pass, love blossoms but denizens of the deep are waiting for their chance to storm the battlements

Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

James Mottram

East meets West as Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy star in this quirky horror-thriller, served up with a side-order of twisted romance. Teller plays Levi, a retired American elite sniper recruited (by Sigourney Weaver's spook) to guard an observation post overlooking a mysterious gorge. Down below is a vaguely defined but deadly enemy, but across the chasm is another sharp-shooter - Taylor-Joy's raven-haired Drasa - who is on the same duty for the Russians. Gradually, Levi and Drasa start communicating, against orders, finding a mutual attraction... until a crazed dinner date leads to pure insanity. Director Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange) is well-versed in both fantasy and horror and combines his sensibilities well enough for this escapist nonsense. Teller and Taylor-Joy lack any real sexual chemistry, but they handle the action well. However, a silly screenplay from Zach Dean derails in the final third as the whole thing descends into conspiracy-driven corniness.
