From visionary director Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Crawl) and executive producers of 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. 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.

Critics Consensus

Director Alexandre Aja's latest horror offering boasts anxiety-inducing atmosphere and a committed performance from Halle Berry, although audiences will have to let go of some storytelling expectations to enjoy the ride.

I can't stand it when a movie gives up its own rules.

Unfortunately, Never Let Go drops the ball, along with the bloodstained machete, just when it should be ramping up the tension.

ever Let Go never manages to answer any of a number of recurring questions adequately, and the movie makes no more sense than one of those head-scratchers by M. Night Shyamalan, which it annoyingly resembles.

The performances, big ideas, overwhelming dread, and psychological horror make Never Let Go worth the watch, although the resolution left me unsatisfied.

[Never Let Go] falters in its execution. While there are some genuinely eerie moments and tense situations, it doesn’t fully capitalize on its horror potential.

The creature design is the only component that rises above mediocrity, and one would think Aja, more than two decades into his career, should be past only-a-dream jump scares by now.

A little confusing and weird at the end I was confused if it was real or if the boy was a psychopath like his mother

Never Let Go should have LET GO of this storyline and create a stronger narrative and overall film concept. Halle Berry and the boys had amazing acting and brilliant chemistry, but not enough to understand or want to watch this film. Halle Berry continues to show her strengths in the Thriller genre and she will continue to be supported for her work.
