No te sueltes

On paper, a decent concept, visually gripping but thats pretty much where it ends.

Hallie Berry plays a great part as 'Mamma' with her 2 young loyal sons living in a her shadow as she pretects them from the unknown her has lost all reality.

The run down house that plays the safe haven and backdrop of the movie is almost a character in the moving playing a part in the story arc, the looming dense forest is daunting.... But for everything else?

Young boys to give credit put in great performances, they mesh well with Hallie, and its beautifully short for all artistic feels but its a story that has a very disappointing cliff hanger, save your money.

I was really put off this movie due to the rating, and most of the reviews I read on here, but I was bored and decided to give it a go anyway.

I was pleasantly surprised, it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. It keeps you guessing throughout and has some decent horror scenes in it. Now, an Evil Dead this is not, but if you can enjoy a horror film without the need for gore, then give this a chance.

I thought this was really similar to "Knock at the Cabin" more psychological, it keeps you thinking and guessing all the way throughout and I actually quite enjoyed it.

Halle Berry's performance was great, so was the 2 young lads, their performances didn't feel forced.

I don't usually leave reviews, I usually only leave ratings, but felt I had to defend it due to some of the poor scores it's received. Give it a chance and don't let the misleading ratings put you off. It might be for you, it might not be, but it's nowhere near as bad as some of the scores would suggest. 7/10 for me.

Never let go is an intriguing, mentally draining psychological horror that quickly hooks you with a central question: is Halle Berry's character losing her mind, or is there something more sinister at play? It's a slow burn where you constantly have to guess what is real and what isn't. The premise is interesting, and for the most part, it keeps you engaged.

The biggest problem I had with the movie, however, would have to be the third act. Prepared to question all that's throughout, it feels like there wasn't much resolution at the very end. It doesn't have the closure I was looking for; instead, it just leaves us with more questions. Some people like that mystery, but for me, it was just the slightest bit more explanation or one additional scene needed to help wrap up things nicely.

That said, it's still worth watching, if not for any other reason than for those who love a good slow burn, psychologically thrilling plot. Just be prepared for an ending that may not be as satisfactory of a wrap-up as it could be.

6.8/10 (Recommend)

I don't think this movie is bad, but for all the tension it creates I feel that the ending isn't the complete justice that is being sought for. A story about a family who can't leave the safety of their house without a rope around them because an evil lurks in the forest. Everything comes into question when one of the children begin to question if the evil is real.

Halle Berry is pretty decent in this film, but I don't think it's her performance that carries the story. It's Anthony B. Jenkins and Percy Daggs IV that make you care the slightest about the come of things. They may be young, and I wouldn't call this their strongest performance, but they have lots of potential as actors.

The music is pretty top notch for creating the fear and tension. It knows how to elevate the visuals in ways that seeing things alone won't help. Though the cinematography is good in creating that tension and unknown as well.

I would watch this again because it gave me the heebie jeebies just enough to feel frightened at times, but I wasn't overly unsettled that I couldn't see an outcome a mile away. There's a terrific score that trumps everything and enhances the story. While the ending is kind of anti-climatic it was acceptable for me and I didn't hate myself for sitting through the film.

That's it for now. Thanks for taking time to read my review. Happy watching and enjoy the show!

Firstly, my review: I really enjoyed this movie. It's a solid psychological horror that keeps you guessing the whole way through. The movie does a great job of creating a creepy and eerie atmosphere that pulls you in and makes you feel uneasy. What I loved most is how it keeps you thinking - there were plenty of moments where I wasn't sure what was real and what wasn't. It's such a nice change from the usual horror movies that spell everything out for you.

The plot is interesting and engaging, and unlike most horror films today, jumpscares are used only when they actually add to the tension. They don't rely on them just to scare you every two minutes. The acting is really good, too - it helps make the whole thing feel more real and adds to the creepy vibe.

Now to my rant on horror movie reviews: After watching, I was excited to read some reviews and see if people shared my thoughts, but I was shocked by the number of people complaining. Some said the plot was "too confusing," or that there weren't enough jumpscares, or they just didn't get it because they were distracted on their phones for half the movie.

I feel like a lot of people just don't appreciate good horror anymore. They'd rather watch movies filled with cheap jumpscares and predictable plots, instead of something that actually makes them think. It's frustrating because real, scary horror movies are becoming so rare these days, and I'm worried about where the genre is headed if this is what people want.

It can't just be me who thinks like this, right?
