Halle Berry is starring in a new horror film, Never Let Go. However, she revealed that she plans on banning her son from watching it.

“My 16-year-old [daughter], yeah. My son would have nightmares for a very long time, so no. He saw a trailer of, like, a scary movie, and it took us a year to get him to go to bed by himself, so he won’t be seeing it,” the actress told Extra during an interview at CinemaCon.

In the film, Berry stars as a mom of fraternal twins haunted by an evil spirit. Berry’s character and her twins have never left their cabin to go beyond the forest, and they are bounded by rope as they leave for the first time. Anthony B. Jenkins, and Percy Daggs IV star as the twins. Christin Park, Stephanie Lavigne, and Matthew Kevin Anderson are also a part of the cast. The psychological thriller was directed by Alexandre Aja, and written by Kevin Coughlin, and Ryan Grassby. Moreover, it was produced by Lionsgate, the studio responsible for Berry’s film, Monster’s Ball.

The Oscar award-winning actress commented on her experience filming with her young co-stars, “That’s all I had was me, and these two boys, and this house. And the challenge was to work with them, find a way to keep our world interesting, to keep it real, to keep it engaging while our circumstances were so limited…It was a great acting challenge, something I’d never done before.”

The 57-year-old, who is also an executive producer on Never Let Go, mentioned that working on the film taught her a valuable lesson. “My kids…I learned that from this movie. My children are my most valued treasures,” she expressed.

The seasoned actress continued to add that she is an adrenaline junkie, and was attracted to the film because of its thrilling plot. “I love, you know, feeling on the edge of my seat and not knowing what’s going to happen, and I love the vast worlds of horror movies…You can really play in that world,” she stated.

Never Let Go is releasing in theaters on September 27.
