Writer‑director John Burr returns with The Gates, a tense thriller that follows three college friends whose road trip takes a disastrous turn. After taking a shortcut through a remote gated community, Derek, Kevin, and Tyon witness a murder—and quickly find themselves trapped behind the walls, blamed, hunted, and torn apart by their own clashing beliefs.
Starring Mason Gooding, Algee Smith, Keith Powers, and James Van Der Beek, the film blends suspense, paranoia, and the chilling influence of a charismatic patriarch who controls the community from within.
