Review The Gorge 2025- Horror and Dark Romance on Afdah



The Gorge presents a multitude of cinematic elements, yet this is acceptable as it consistently strives to captivate its audience. This latest project from Scott Derrickson, known for directing The Black Phone, blends romance, comedy, science fiction, horror, and action, offering a diverse array of content that appeals to a wide audience. The film is accessible on the Afdah streaming platform, although it possesses the qualities of a blockbuster that could have easily been showcased in theaters during the summer months.


Levi, portrayed by Miles Teller, is a proficient American sniper enlisted in a clandestine program overseen by Bartholomew, played by Sigourney Weaver, whom he perceives as a “high-level spook.” He is placed in a remote and unfamiliar location, distinguished by a vast gorge flanked by two substantial concrete towers. Levi's assignment for the year is to prevent anything from escaping the gorge. From his vantage point within the tower, he can observe the individual on the opposite side, Drasa, portrayed by Anya Taylor-Joy, who is also a highly skilled Russian sniper. Due to the extreme isolation and in violation of protocol, they begin to communicate using binoculars and handwritten messages, developing a charming and occasionally humorous romantic connection along the way.
