We’ve all wondered how long we’d be able to survive without leaving the house (covid, the possibility of nuclear war, the zombie uprising…), and now this new trailer from Netflix takes that thought and runs with it.
The Last House, starring Greta Lee and Wagner Moura, is a sci-fi horror movie with a difference… and a whole lot of questions! For instance, why are these people unable to leave their home? Welp, here’s the official description:
A family of four are suddenly sealed inside their home with no way out, and must work together to survive against both their dwindling resources and the mysterious, looming threat that is keeping them trapped.
On the surface, humans being trapped inside their homes looks like the best possible thing to happen to wildlife, and the planet in general. I mean, the plants thrive, there’s bears wandering around enjoying nature, but… there’s something else out there. Something that feels a bit more sinister.

Lee was recently quoted by Tudum about what drew her to this role:
Growing up, my favorite things to watch and read were survivalist stories with a twist. So I was immediately drawn to this story. I love the questions this movie asks about our world and how we choose to live in it. And I was excited about the possibility of asking these questions in a new and entertaining way.
I think it’s a really interesting premise, and I’ll be curious to see where the story goes. It’s certainly got plenty of talking points.
And you’ll be able to watch The Last House when it’s released on Netflix on the 7th August.
