Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Scott Derrickson shot the gorge scenes in practical locations with minimal green screen to ground the actors' isolation.
The film deliberately never fully reveals the creatures' origin, pulling from Lovecraftian tradition that explanation kills dread—the gorge remains unknowable by design.
