Depths of despair

Can highly trained snipers defeat mysterious monsters in a terrifying chasm?

- 

When The Queen's Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy was given the opportunity to star in big-budget movie The Gorge alongside Miles Teller, a surprisingly small part of the script sealed the deal.

'I wanted to dance with Miles, she jokes. 'I've known Miles for a long time and I knew we'd have a good time making the movie. And I was keen on the dancing scene, of course.'

But don't be fooled into thinking that The Gorge is a feel-good song-and-dance movie. Filled with horror and suspense, the storyline follows elite snipers Drasa and Levi, who are selected for a top-secret mission in an undisclosed location.

Under instruction from a shadowy figure called Bartholomew (played by Alien star Sigourney Weaver), the snipers must take up positions atop towers on opposite sides of a vast, highly classified gorge. But their role isn't to stop people from entering the fog-filled wasteland - it's to prevent the mysterious monsters trapped within it from escaping and causing a cataclysmic disaster.
