The Well is a 2025 Canadian thriller film, directed by Hubert Davis.
Set in an apocalyptic world in which the world's water supply has become infected with a deadly virus, the film stars Shailyn Pierre-Dixon as Sarah Devine, a young girl who lives with her parents Elisha (Joanne Boland) and Paul (Arnold Pinnock) in an isolated home with access to a safe supply of water. When Jamie (Idrissa Sanogo) turns up in one of their security traps claiming to be Elisha and Paul's nephew whom they had believed was dead, the family are initially drawn into conflict about whether or not to trust him, but after the filter that protects the family's water supply develops a crack, Sarah and Jamie set off to find a replacement part, ending up at a cult compound run by Gabriel (Sheila McCarthy).
The cast also includes Natasha Mumba, Noah Lamanna, Steven McCarthy, Jim Carey and Cameron Nicoll in supporting roles.
