After starring in a buddy comedy for Netflix, Halle Berry (Catwoman and The Union) is ready to dive into an even more disturbing genre, as the star has been cast to lead “Never Let Go“, the new horror film.

The title, directed by Alexandre Aja (Mirrors and Horns), will hit theaters on September 20 in the United States, so it will be available before Halloween and can be added to the list of movies for a marathon that day.

The cast is led by the iconic X-Men actress but is also filled with young talents and established figures who have earned a good salary for their respective roles. Here, check out what is known about its story…

Is Never Let Go based on real events?

No! “Never Let Go” is not based on a true story; rather, the events in the plot were created by Kevin Coughlin and Ryan Grassby, so they are fictional and originate from the minds of the film’s writers.

The drama follows a family, consisting of a mother and her twin children, who have been suffering from the torment of an evil spirit for many years. When one of the boys starts to doubt the existence of the evil, the sacred bond is broken.

This ultimately leads the small family into a dangerous struggle for survival, where each member must bring out their fighting skills and give everything they’ve got until the end if they want to stay alive.
