Never Let Go (2024)
Oscar winner Halle Berry stars in the psychological thriller Never Let Go, from award-winning director Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Crawl).
As an evil takes over the world beyond their front doorstep, the only protection for a mother and her twin sons is their house and their family’s protective bond. Needing to stay connected at all times – even tethering themselves with ropes – they cling to one another, urging each other to never let go. But when one of the boys questions if the evil is real, the ties that bind them together are severed, triggering a terrifying fight for survival.
Co-starring alongside Berry are child actors Anthony B Jenkins and Percy Daggs IV (Paradise), who was nominated for a 2025 Image Award for Outstanding Performance by a Youth in a Motion Picture.
Bloody Disgusting calls Never Let Go “a vicious little bedtime story with sharp teeth,” while Variety says its themes of “grief, sanity, rebellion and redemption are intrinsically intertwined to harrowing, claustrophobic effect, heightening the hallucinatory horrors and dread-soaked atmospheric pull.”
