This psychological thriller/horror film starring Halle Berry is a masterclass in building tension and creating a sense of unease that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
The film tells the story of a mother who will stop at nothing to protect her twin sons from a malevolent spirit in their isolated forest home. As the story unfolds, the family's bond is tested by doubt and fear, leading to a terrifying struggle for survival.
Berry delivers a standout performance as the determined and desperate mother, bringing depth and nuance to her character. The film's use of lighting, sound design, and camera work all contribute to a deeply unnerving experience that will have you checking over your shoulder.
One of the standout elements of "Never Let Go" is its ability to balance psychological suspense with outright creepiness. The film's slow-burning pace might test your patience at times, but trust me, it's worth it. The payoff is a shocking and satisfying climax that will leave you breathless.
However, the ending left me with more questions than answers, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around what it all means. Despite this, "Never Let Go" is a must-see for fans of psychological thrillers and horror films.
Rating: 4/5 stars
Recommendation: If you enjoy films like "The Shining," "Hereditary," or "A Quiet Place," you'll love "Never Let Go." Just be prepared for a slow-burning, psychologically intense experience that will keep you guessing until the very end
