Netflix has added another high-concept thriller to its growing lineup with The Last House, a science fiction survival drama that blends psychological suspense with mystery.
Directed by Louis Leterrier, the film follows a family trapped inside their own home by an unexplained force, setting the stage for a tense battle for survival.
The Last House Story
The story centres on a family of four whose ordinary life is shattered after they wake up to discover that their house has become an inescapable prison. With every possible exit mysteriously sealed, the family finds itself completely cut off from the outside world.
As days pass, food and essential supplies begin to run low, forcing them to confront both physical survival and the emotional strain of isolation. At the same time, an unknown presence outside the house deepens the mystery, leaving the family desperate to uncover the truth while protecting one another. The film combines science fiction, psychological tension, and survival drama without revealing its biggest twists.
Here are some of the reactions on X:
#TheLastHouse is a super fresh take on the survival thriller genre. It has got this dark tone that makes it feel really claustrophobic at times. It completely puts the family through the wringer, and watching their dynamics shift as things get more and more tense is wild.

THE LAST HOUSE / #TheLastHouse is a film of two very different halves: a sluggish, toneless first hour that squanders a genuinely intriguing premise, followed by a stronger back stretch that finally locates real tension, only to rush toward a sequel-baiting ending.
