Plot: Levi is recruited for a secret mission. He's dropped at an undisclosed location, which he has to guard for a year. It's a giant gorge, covered in mist. On the other side of the gorge is another person doing the same thing as him, but they are not allowed to communicate with each other. Loneliness and boredom drive him to break this rule.

This made me think of Silent Hill and The Superdeep. It's the kind of genre movie I appreciate. Horror mixed with a bit of fantasy and unafraid things top it off with plenty of original lore. Sure enough, there are some big clichés here (which I won't spoil), but Derrickson and his crew made absolutely sure this wasn't just core genre filler.
The introduction is a bit slow (though it's not particularly boring) and the ending could've been better, but the best bits are when our dynamic duo enters the gorge. Some cool sights there and a few scenes that put me on the edge of my seat. Teller and Taylor-Joy are good as always, so I've got nothing to complain about. Good genre fun.
