Lionsgate has released the trailer for the Alexandre Aja-directed horror film “Never Let Go,” starring Halle Berry.

“Never Let Go” follows a mother (Berry) and her fraternal twin sons (Anthony B. Jenkins and Percy Daggs IV), who have protected themselves from a malicious spirit for years under their family’s protective bond. However, when one of the boys begins to question the existence of the evil, the bond is broken, leading to a terrifying fight for survival.

Jenkins, Daggs, Matthew Kevin Anderson, Christin Park and Stephanie Lavigne round out the cast.

Aja (“The Hills Have Eyes,” “Piranha 3D”) directed from a script by Kevin Coughlin and Ryan Grassby. He also produced alongside 21 Laps’ Dan Cohen, Dan Levine and Shawn Levy with Berry, Dan Clarke, Connor DiGregorio, Holly Jeter, Emily Morris and Christopher Woodrow serving as executive producers.

Berry is no stranger to horror and thriller films, having starred in “Gothika,” “The Rich Man’s Wife,” “Perfect Stranger,” “Dark Tide” and “The Call.” At Lionsgate’s CinemaCon panel in April, the Oscar-winning actor said she took on the role in “Never Let Go” because she’s a “bonafide adrenaline junkie” and the film “gave [her] an opportunity to be a part of a world [she] had never seen before.”

“With this movie, it reminded me how I would protect my children with my life,” Berry added. “We often say, ‘I would take a bullet for my kids.’ Would you take a knife for your kids?”

The Never Let Go trailer introduces Halle Berry's mother character and her two sons. Since the world ended, the family has protected themselves from malicious spirits for years by staying confined to an isolated cabin in the woods. However, when they have to leave, they stay connected at all times, tethering themselves with ropes. The mother repeats the titular mantra, "Never let go," believing it is the key to their survival. However, when one of the children begins to question whether the evil is real, their ties are tested, triggering a terrifying fight for survival.

Based on the trailer, Never Let Go appears to be a three-hander between Halle Berry's mother character and her two children, played by Percy Daggs IV and Anthony B. Jenkins. However, the cast also includes Matthew Kevin Anderson, Christin Park, and Stephanie Lavigne, indicating there will be some other characters involved in the story. Its lead star, Halle Berry, is certainly no stranger to horror-thrillers, having starred in Gothika, The Rich Man’s Wife, Perfect Stranger, Dark Tide, and The Call.

Never Let Go also marks a return to horror movies for Alexandre Aja, who rose to fame for directing the French film Haute Tension, followed by The Hills Have Eyes. While those were more straightforward slashers, Never Let Go appears to be an intriguing amalgam of horror and psychological thriller in a post-apocalyptic setting. The Never Let Go trailer is clearly holding a lot back regarding its premise, which is a refreshing departure from the current trend of modern movie trailers revealing too much. When the movie releases in theaters, there should be plenty of surprises in store.
After her appearance in ‘Moonfall’ as Jocinda Fowler in 2022, fans have been waiting to see Halle Berry in movies again. The trailer of her upcoming psychological film, ‘Never Let Go’, was unveiled recently. The gripping trailer has become the talk of the town and fans of the actor are excited to see her back in action once again.

The 2:23 minute long trailer of ‘Never Let Go’ opens with a shot of a mother (played by Halle Berry) relaxing with her two sons and a pet dog in a cabin in the woods. As the trailer progresses, it is revealed that the world has ended, and it is just this family and ‘evil’ that is present in the world currently. The mother and her sons tie themselves with a rope whose other end is tied to their house whenever they venture out of their safe place. However, things go south when evil forces take over and the family has to battle it out for survival.

Take a look at the trailer of ‘Never Let Go’ here.

The trailer of ‘Never Let Go’ uses classic jump scare and jump cut elements to create an atmosphere of tension and impending doom. Safe to say that with the use of these classic elements, the trailer will successfully lure you in. It’s interesting to see Halle Berry working in this genre again because these types of films feel like they are right up the actor's alley. As I was watching this trailer, a question kept popping into my head. Are the evil creatures real or are they a figment of the mother’s imagination? The trailer has not made this clear and this ups the ante. Reacting to the trailer, one fan said, “Halle Berry is back in movies!! Yesss!!” A second fan commented, “Halle Berry never disappoints. She will always be a phenomenal actress no matter what happens.” A third fan wrote, “I love Aja's movies. Plus, Halle is in it. Let's goooo.”

After Berry teased that the “method acting” skills she learned for Never Let Go included skinning squirrels in the wild during an April appearance at CinemaCon, PETA confirmed with Aja, the director of such animal-centric horror flicks as 2010's Piranha and 2019's Crawl, that only realistic-looking props were used.

During that appearance, Berry said that her character in the new movie was "eating bugs and frogs — raw frogs — in the woods" and added, "I had to really skin a squirrel. These things wildly challenged me to create some reality within this world that felt so foreign."

Halle Berry takes on a spooky project in post-apocalyptic horror film Never Let Go.
Directed by Alexandra Aja, the movie follows a family haunted by an evil spirit in the woods.
Berry's return to the silver screen includes a role as a disgraced MMA fighter in Bruised, now on Netflix.
After recently carrying over her talents into the spy and action genres, one former Marvel and DC actor is now partaking in a much spookier project. The first trailer for Never Let Go has been officially released and showcases Oscar-winning star Halle Berry leading two children through the dangers and terrors of a post-apocalyptic world. The film is helmed by horror-thriller director Alexandra Aja, who previously worked on Oxygen, Crawl, Horns, and Piranha 3D. Kevin Coughlin, best known for his work with The King Tide, Mean Dreams, and V-Wars wrote the script for Never Let Go along with Ryan Grassby.

The film follows a family that has been living in the woods, haunted by an evil spirit for years. The only thing keeping their safety intact is their belief in the threat, but everything quickly comes crashing down when one of the children begins to doubt if the spirit is real. The Never Let Go trailer shows off intense and terrifying highs, along with the first look at what appears to be another strong performance from Berry. Never Let Go arrives in theaters on September 27, and the trailer shows off enough spooky spirits and jump scares to satisfy passionate horror fans.

What Has Halle Berry Been in Recently?
It's been more than 20 years since Berry won an Oscar for her performance as Leticia Musgrove in Monster's Ball, but she hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. Berry recently joined one of the most acclaimed action franchises of the 21st century alongside Keanu Reeves in John Wick 3 and also played a small role in Matthew Vaughn's espionage thriller, Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Berry will always be synonymous with playing the iconic Marvel and DC characters, Storm and Catwoman, but all signs point to those days being behind her and new actors coming in to take over the roles. Never Let Go will be her first outing in the horror genre, and director Aja is a fantastic first partner to show her the ropes. Berry was absent from movie theaters in 2023, most recently appearing in the 2022 sci-fi disaster film Moonfall, and she will make her return to the silver screen later this year.

Never Let Go arrives exclusively in theaters on September 27. Check out the trailer above and watch Berry as a disgraced MMA fighter in Bruised, streaming on Netflix.
At CinemaCon on Wednesday, Lionsgate showed off its recently added 2024 fall release, Alexandre Aja’s Never Let Go, a freaky tale about a mother and her fraternal twins who have never gone beyond their forested environs: Whenever they leave the cabin, they are bounded by rope as they venture into the scary woods.

“It was a creepy environment that I had never seen before,” said star Halle Berry, who reteams with the studio that notched her a Best Actress Oscar win for Monster’s Ball.
