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.
