‘Never Let Go’ Review: Halle Berry Hangs On For Dear Life In Gripping Psychological Horror Thriller


A review of 'Never Let Go' starring Halle Berry as woman lost in her own fears and passing them on to her young sons in Alexandre Aja' horror thriller

Anthony B. Jenkins as Samuel, Halle Berry as Momma and Percy Daggs IV as Nolan in Never Let Go.Lionsgate French director Alexandre Aja has been known as a member of the horror helming fraternity known as the “Splat Pack”, named for the extreme violence in their films. Working from a screenplay by KC Coughlin and and Ryan Grassby, Aja has created an atomospheric dive into our deepest fears with Berry’s June aka Momma following in her own family legacy’s footsteps convinced if you venture too far outside into the unforgiving woods surrounding her lone house, an entity she calls The Evil will pass on the possession with just a touch. Over the past ten years this family lives off the land in a very primitive life style foraging for food, but Nolan, unlike his brother who hangs on Momma’s every fear, begins to believe that maybe she has been telling a lie, even as these demons get too close for comfort including one particularly horrific boogeywoman who seems to keep turning up in a quest to grab the boys.
