A dark fairytale.
On September 19, the highly anticipated film Never let go, starring Academy Award winner Halle Berry, makes its debut.
From visionary director Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Crawl) and the creative minds behind Stranger Things and Arrival comes Never let go. In this new psychological thriller/horror, as an Evil takes over the world beyond their front doorstep, the only protection for a mother, played by Academy Award® winner Halle Berry (Actress in a Leading Role, 2001 – Monster’s Ball), and her twin sons is their house and their family’s protective bond.
In the opening sequence, we watch as Momma walks out onto the porch of her home. It’s late at night, and she’s woken up from a nightmare and heard a rustling in the woods. As she descends the porch steps—always making sure that some part of her is touching the wood of the house—the croaking of what we believeto be a nearby frog grows louder and louder. Then it stops. After a beat of silence, there’s a new sound: The gurgling, hoarse voice of The Evil, coming from a distended corpse-like figure. Momma hides behind the wooden railing. The Evil can come near her, but it cannot touch her.
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.
