Never Let Go is a 2024 American survival horror thriller film directed by Alexandre Aja and written by KC Coughlin and Ryan Grassby.

To prevent the Evil from touching them, which Momma says ensures possession, the family must have ropes tied when they leave the house, connecting them back to the building.

Sensing discontent from her sons, Momma tells them about her old life in the city and shows them an old Polaroid camera with one photo left.

When Momma takes the dog into the greenhouse to kill him, Nolan cuts her rope and locks her inside, hoping she will see the Evil is not real.

As the hiker grows increasingly concerned over Nolan's story and living conditions, Samuel confronts him with a crossbow.

Samuel quietly whispers to Nolan "She loves me more" as the Polaroid he took is shown, revealing the Evil was indeed real and touched him.

In August 2020, KC Coughlin and Ryan Grassby's horror script Mother Land was acquired by Shawn Levy's company 21 Laps Entertainment with Lionsgate Films set to distribute.
