Halle Berry Fends Off Evil In Never Let Go's First Trailer

If the premise of Never Let Go seems familiar, it's because we've seen a few end-of-the-world horror movies with A-list actresses that share similar premises. Emily Blunt and her on-screen kids have to stay silent to survive in A Quiet Place and its sequel while Sandra Bullock and her character's children had to wear blindfolds to live in Bird Box. Now, it's Halley Berry's turn in Never Let Go, a horror flick where hanging on to a rope could be the difference between life and death in the first trailer for the movie.

Berry plays a mother who has survived the apocalypse with her two sons, as played by Percy Daggs IV and Anthony B. Jenkins. The title of Never Let Go comes from the rule that Berry's character constantly repeats. According to her, as long as the boys remained tied by a rope that is connected to their home, they will be safe from the evil lurking in the world.

For a time, the boys accept their mother at her word. But when one of the boys is separated from the rope, he questions whether the evil his mother warned him about is even real. That not only introduces serious friction to the family, it also opens the door for the evil spirits to begin tearing them apart. When that happens, not even the rope may be able to save this family.

Alexandre Aja directed the film from a script by Kevin Coughlin and Ryan Grassby. Never Let Me Go will haunt theaters on September 27.
