Their mission comes with a strange enigma, as neither of them has been told what exactly is in the crevᴀsse they are manning.

All they know is that ‘the gorge is the door to hell’ and that their ᴀssignment is to ‘stop what’s in the gorge from coming out,’ via the trailer.

They have been set on their ᴀssignment by a character played by none other than Sigourney Weaver, star of the horror classics Alien and Aliens. 

The Gorge currently has a 65 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
