REVIEW: Never Let Go (2024 Film) - Starring Halle Berry

Image
  Never Let Go starts with promise but loses its way as it progresses. Directed by Alexandre Aja, the film aims to be a tense psychological survival thriller but ends up feeling directionless. The premise is intriguing: a family isolated in the woods, living in fear of an unseen force called "The Evil."

The film explores themes of faith and doubt, particularly how disbelief can unravel a fragile reality. The son, Nolan, begins to question his mother’s warnings, creating tension that plays well against the eerie family dynamic. For a time, the ambiguity, whether "The Evil" is real or imagined, keeps vi...
