A woman haunted by demons lives deep in the woods with her two boys. Every day, they forage for food around the property while connected to the house's foundation by ropes and being instructed to "never let go" (hey, that's the title!), otherwise The Evil will get them. While the mother is out of the picture, the boys start to question their surroundings/reality and whether to continue her strange rituals or venture further from safety. Poses some interesting questions about tradition and belief, but the results are mostly predictable. The movie itself takes its sweet time and I was fighting off sleep for the most part, but it takes a much more interesting turn in the second half.
