Halle Berry takes mothering to the next level in the official trailer for Never Let Go. Leading as the mom of twin boys, the 57-year-old movie star faces an evil spirit attempting to disrupt their livelihood. The Alexandre Aja-directed film is due in theaters on Sept. 27, 2024.

“The evil out there is clever. One touch without a rope is all it takes,” says Berry in character as Momma to her two sons in the clip. The official synopsis includes the following details:

In this new psychological thriller/horror, as an Evil takes over the world beyond their front doorstep, the only protection for a mother, played by Academy Award® winner Halle 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.”

Taking on this role, Berry explained there was “a little bit of Method acting” going on, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“There was no electricity, no lights, my character skinning squirrels, and they’re eating bugs and frogs — raw frogs — in the woods,” Berry continued, “I had to really skin a squirrel. These things wildly challenged me to create some reality within this world that felt so foreign.”

The actress added, “Since I became a mother 16 years ago, playing these kinds of roles has wildly excited me. With this movie, it reminded me how I would protect my children with my life. We often say, ‘I would take a bullet for my kids.’ Would you take a knife for your kids?”
