Our take

An Apple TV+ sci-fi thriller about two elite guards watching opposite sides of a mysterious canyon. When something evil emerges below, they have to survive together. Sniper and gun violence, jump scares, creature horror, some strong language and a developing romance. Best for teens around 14+ who can handle M tension.

Uplifting themes

Cooperation and trust grow between the two leads under extreme pressure Both operatives show resilience and protect each other as the danger escalates

Story (may spoil tone)

Two highly trained operatives grow close from a distance after being sent to guard opposite sides of a mysterious gorge. When an evil below emerges, they must work together to survive what lies within.

Talk after watching

  • The leads bond across a literal divide. How can people connect when they cannot see each other face to face?
  • Survival stories often mix fear with trust. What would you need to feel safe working with a stranger?
