Halle Berry delivers a chilling performance in Alexandre Aja’s (Crawl, Switchblade Romance) new psychological thriller, “Never Let Go.” The film follows a single mother, Momma (Berry), who lives in the woods with her two young sons. To protect them from a world she believes is overrun by soul-sucking entities, she keeps them isolated in their cabin and connected to it by ropes.
While her youngest son Samuel (Anthony B. Jenkins) believes her wholeheartedly, his twin Nolan (Percy Daggs IV) begins to question her stories and their confinement. As doubts grow, a series of unsettling events unfold, blurring the lines between reality and Momma’s paranoid fears.
Berry delivers a powerful performance, fully immersing herself in the role of a mother consumed by fear. However, it’s the children who truly shine in the film, creating an emotional core that holds the audience’s attention despite the film’s occasional lapses into implausibility.
“Never Let Go” is currently playing in US theaters and will be released in UK cinemas on September 27.
The film has already been praised as one of the best horror movies of 2024 in early reactions, with critics comparing it to acclaimed horror films like “A Quiet Place” and “The Village.”
