*Lionsgate has released a new trailer for Halle Berry’s survivalist movie “Never Let Go.”
From director Alexandre Aja, the official synopsis states: “In this new psychological thriller/horror, as an Evil takes over the world beyond their front doorstep, the only protection for a mother, played by Academy Award® winner Halle Berry, and her twin sons is their house and their family’s protective bond. Needing to stay connected at all times – even tethering themselves with ropes – they cling to one another, urging each other to never let go. But when one of the boys questions if the evil is real, the ties that bind them together are severed, triggering a terrifying fight for survival.”
Matthew Kevin Anderson, Christin Park, and Stephanie Lavigne also star in the film.

As we reported earlier, Berry said she dabbled in “a little bit of Method acting” for the role, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“There was no electricity, no lights, my character skinning squirrels, and they’re eating bugs and frogs — raw frogs — in the woods,” Berry continued, “I had to really skin a squirrel. These things wildly challenged me to create some reality within this world that felt so foreign.”
The actress added, “Since I became a mother 16 years ago, playing these kinds of roles has wildly excited me. With this movie, it reminded me how I would protect my children with my life. We often say, ‘I would take a bullet for my kids.’ Would you take a knife for your kids?”
Meanwhile, PETA issued a response to Berry’s revelation about skinning a squirrel in the movie. The organization said the actress did not harm animals but instead worked with realistic props, Vibe reports.
“While moviegoers may squirm in their seats at the sight of a squirrel being skinned, Alexander Aja’s use of movie magic, instead of a thinking, feeling being in Never Let Go, once again proves that technology is the key to modern, humane movie production,” said PETA’s Director of Animals in Film and Television, Lauren Thomasson.
“Never Let Go” arrives in theaters on Sept. 27.
