Never Let Go, the latest horror thriller from director Alexandre Aja, looks to promise a chilling experience, with Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry at the center of a terrifying fight for survival. The film’s plot remains shrouded in mystery, but the glimpses provided in the trailers have sparked a new intrigue.
In Never Let Go, Berry plays a mother who, along with her two children, binds themselves together with a rope to face an unnamed evil lurking just outside their home. The marketing team has strategically kept much of the film’s story under wraps, fueling speculation and curiosity. The first trailer simply has Berry instructing her children to stay attached to the rope and to never let go, hinting at a world beyond their doorstep that is filled with unimaginable danger. While the exact nature of the threat remains unclear, the stakes are evidently high.
This latest trailer adds another layer, before stepping outside, Berry’s character leads her children in a peculiar prayer—not to a god, but to their house. This eerie ritual, combined with the ongoing mystery of the rope, adds to the unsettling atmosphere. “Life’s been tough on you boys since the world ended,” Berry’s character admits at the beginning of this new trailer, setting a somber tone.
The trailer is loaded with striking visuals that give a taste of the horrors ahead. It’s a mix of eerie biblical quotes, tense family drama, and creepy folk horror vibes. You’ll see everything from mysterious shed skins to bloody-mouthed creatures lurking in the woods, all adding to the film’s unsettling atmosphere. It looks like Never Let Go is shaping up to be a spine-chilling horror flick that taps into deep-rooted fears and ancient rituals.
One of the most jaw-dropping moments in the trailer is seeing Halle Berry, suddenly change from protective mother to looking anything but. She’s standing in a burning doorway with a demonic expression on her face. This twist in her character, from a caring protector to something much darker adds to the intrigue as to when the story is heading.
The official synopsis for the film reads: “As an evil takes over the world beyond their front doorstep, the only protection for a mother (Berry) 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.”
Never Let Go will be in cinemas September 20.
