What happens when your home becomes an inescapable prison—and the thing trapping you appears to be solid water?
In this spoiler-lite review, Jim dives into Netflix’s 2026 sci-fi horror thriller The Last House, starring Greta Lee and Wagner Moura. The movie offers an intriguing survival premise, tense family dynamics, mysterious creatures, strong performances, and some impressive effects. It also features wildly inconsistent rules, questionable survival solutions, and an ending that left Jim with more than a few questions.
Is The Last House an entertaining creature feature, a frustrating missed opportunity, or both? Let’s talk about it.
