The star of THE CALL and KIDNAP is back in child-protective mode in the survival horror film.

Lionsgate releases NEVER LET GO to theaters September 27. Directed by Alexandre Aja from a script by KC Coughlin and Ryan Grassby, it stars Halle Berry, Percy Daggs IV and Anthony B. Jenkins. The synopsis: “As an Evil takes over the world beyond their front doorstep, the only protection for a mother [Berry] and her twin sons is their house and their family’s protective bond. Needing to stay connected at all times–even tethering themselves with ropes–they cling to one another, urging each other to never let go. But when one of the boys questions if the evil is real, the ties that bind them together are severed, triggering a terrifying fight for survival.”
