Never Let Go

Halle Berry's new horror is a taut exploration of fear and paranoia.

...a horror movie more interested in what it can evoke than what it can state or even imply.

...should resonate with both horror junkies seeking fall escapism and parents looking to see their struggles visualized.

Berry is, as ever, a strong anchor...

Jenkins and Daggs give two of the best child performances of the year, but it’s Berry’s tightrope-tense fear that sells the premise.

It is a feature packed with contradictions: complicated even as it lacks substance, incredibly tense even as it falters.
