I can't stand it when a movie gives up its own rules. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Sep 30, 2024
3/5
Unfortunately, Never Let Go drops the ball, along with the bloodstained machete, just when it should be ramping up the tension. Go to Full Review Rex Reed Observer Sep 30, 2024
1/4
ever Let Go never manages to answer any of a number of recurring questions adequately, and the movie makes no more sense than one of those head-scratchers by M. Night Shyamalan, which it annoyingly resembles. Go to Full Review Jazzmin Crawley Horror Movie Blog Dec 27, 2025
The performances, big ideas, overwhelming dread, and psychological horror make Never Let Go worth the watch, although the resolution left me unsatisfied. Go to Full Review Marissa Hill Shade Studios Jul 30, 2025
[Never Let Go] falters in its execution. While there are some genuinely eerie moments and tense situations, it doesn’t fully capitalize on its horror potential. Go to Full Review John Serba Decider May 8, 2025
The creature design is the only component that rises above mediocrity, and one would think Aja, more than two decades into his career, should be past only-a-dream jump scares by now. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Frank Aug 7, 2025 HB killed it !! Literally See more Movie Buff Jul 20, 2025 Besides the Cheap Cosplay suit…It was Great! Krypto’s suit was better than Superman’s! See more Anthony S Apr 26, 2025 it was an ok movie, not great. See more Virginia Nov 16, 2024 A little confusing and weird at the end I was confused if it was real or if the boy was a psychopath like his mother See more Kera W @RT83583732 Oct 28, 2024 Never Let Go should have LET GO of this storyline and create a stronger narrative and overall film concept. Halle Berry and the boys had amazing acting and brilliant chemistry, but not enough to understand or want to watch this film. Halle Berry continues to show her strengths in the Thriller genre and she will continue to be supported for her work.
