Lionsgate has released a trailer for The Gates, the upcoming thriller from director John Burr.
The film centres on three college students as they take a wrong turn through a gated community while on a road trip, where they find themselves trapped inside and hunted by its residents after witnessing a murder.
The cast includes Mason Gooding, Algee Smith, Keith Powers, Brad Leland, and the late James Van Der Beek in his final feature film role; check out the trailer below…
“The Gates follows three college students — Derek, Kevin, and Tyon (Gooding, Smith, and Powers) on a road trip gone wrong, as the three young men take an ill-advised shortcut through a remote gated community, where they find themselves trapped behind the walls after witnessing a murder. Over the course of the night, they find themselves blamed, hunted, and fractured by their own differing belief systems, while the perpetrator—James Van Der Beek, at his most charming and terrifying—emerges as the cunning patriarch that holds the entire community under his influence.”
The Gates is set for release on March 13th.
