New drama/horror/thriller Never Let Go is the latest from Halle Berry, Anthony B. Jenkins, Percy Daggs IV, Matthew Kevin Anderson and Mila Morgan.
Directed by Alexandre Aja; Never Let Go is the story of a family who continues to be haunted by an evil spirit. Only, now, one of the children has started to wonder if the evil they’ve been told to fear is even real.
Randomly, this trailer made Munchausen’s by proxy come to mind. I’m quite sure Munchausen’s is unlikely to be what Berry’s character is suffering from. Still, her controlling ways have me wondering about the chance that she’s lying to her children because it’s the best way she can think of to keep them alive,
I need to know how her behaviour gets explained in the end. Is she unwell and imagining everything? Are her boys too curious to survive without such prohibitive boundaries?
Whatever the answer, I’m picturing sequels that follow as the boys grow up. Strangely enough, in the next instalments, Berry’s character is a mere memory. I guess I’ve decided that she’s a liar?
What do you think?
Christin Park, Stephanie Lavigne,Cadence Compton, Mila Morgan, Cadence Compton and Georges Gracieuse also star.
Never Let Go Release Dates: September 20th, 2024 (US); September 27th, 2024 (UK)…

I like Aja as director, he directed one of the greatest contemporary french horror movie, High Tension, and he still did some beautiful american movies.
Thanks for the Aja info. I’ll just have to work on being brave enough to sit through Never Let Go. I tend not to watch too many scary movies because I like restful sleep.
this looks intense!
Very much. I like the trailer edit, so I hope it all comes together well.
Munchausen’s by proxy, yes I bet that’s it! And If not Halle, Kathy Bates could also nail this character.
Either way, I hope it’s fun and I get brave enough to at least try to watch this. I want the truth for those young boys, if nothing else! 🤓
The boys deserve the truth and so do we!
Amen! 😁
No, I think she’s telling the truth, but the director is purposely misdirecting the viewer. Looks kind of scary for me to watch. Hope you do a review after you see it and share how scary it is or isn’t.
Yes, trailers do have a way of making us think it’s one thing when it’s something else entirely. They know that half the fun is in finding out. m
If I watch it, I will indeed write a review. 🤓
🙂
This seems like another interesting one. Not a huge fan of hers though.
If I end up watching this, I’ll share my thoughts. Hopefully, it works out well. 🤞🤞
Oh yes please let me know!
👍🥂
I think it looks pretty freaky, and I love Halle, but I don’t know if I could sleep after watching this! 😂
Very freaky, I agree. If I do watch it, it will be in broad daylight, naturally.
