22 - Never Let Go and Killer's Game

The Grand Review ·

2024/09/22

Halle Berry is back in the horror genre with Never Let Go, a horror film about a family of 3 who are tethered to a house in the woods. They can venture as far as their ropes will let them, but if they let go, "the Evil" will get them. It's a horror film that's reaching further than jump scares, and certainly has a cast pulling more than their own weight. Spoiler Free: 00:53 Spoilers: 23:01 News: 1:14:24

James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, and Scoot Mcnairy (contender for funnies name) star in this 2024 remake of the 2022 Danish film, "Speak No Evil".
