The Last House turns the family home into a claustrophobic sci-fi thriller

Louis Leterrier, known for Now You See Me and Lupin, directs The Last House, a new sci‑fi thriller for Netflix. Greta Lee and Wagner Moura lead a married couple whose home is suddenly sealed shut, and nothing they do can force a way out.

Gabriel Barbosa, Emma Ho, Noah Alexander Sosnowski and Riley Chung co-star. The trailer suggests the problem is global, pushing the family to work together to uncover what traps them while rationing dwindling food and other resources.

The house was hand‑built and meticulously designed through cross‑departmental collaboration, creating a claustrophobic space where reminders of life outside constantly intrude. Leterrier’s visual approach to the contained setting aims to keep viewers on a knife’s edge.

The trailer also shows wildlife persisting outside, deepening the mystery of what drove humanity indoors. The Last House premieres on Netflix worldwide on Aug 7.
