The Gates teases a tense thriller starring James Van Der Beek

Here’s what Lionsgate has to say about the new movie: “The Gates is Burr’s second feature, following his debut, the supernatural thriller Muse. 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 crashes theaters on March 13, 2026
