What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Last House drags a capable cast through an increasingly repetitive narrative without delivering the suspense or thematic depth its premise demands.

2/5
The pulse of the film is the family’s dynamic, but it remains fairly unfrayed as the years pass. Again and again, the script takes a turn away from any sustained tension. Go to Full Review

Even if Lee and Moura work overtime to sell the terrifying scenario these parents find themselves in, ridiculous lines and worse decision-making takes us out of the moment. Go to Full Review

2/4
There’s nothing to tether yourself to, no real narrative anchor point that’s anything more than a discombobulated message of the power of family. Go to Full Review
Marlon Wallace The M Report (WBOC.com) Sep 21, 2026
The narrative is divided into two sections. The first is about survival and the second is about escape, if possible. The odds are certainly against them in both sections. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
It would be more effective to showcase a stronger message about monstrosity. Go to Full Review

If you're looking for a quick spooky fix on a Friday night, The Last House certainly ticks those basic horror boxes with its solid acting and creepy setup. Go to Full Review

CorsairBeard T @RT29497576 2 hrs ago Quien le da trabajo a guionistas tan sumamente mediocres? es mala hasta decir basta, el 90% del tiempo te lo pasas preguntandote porque los personajes toman decisiones tan ilógicas y absurdas, en especial la niña. En final es horrendo y estupido, terriblemente estúpido, no hay por donde cogerlo. Te hace pensar que cualquier guión basura puede llegar a convertirse película y que Netflix no tiene ningún filtro de calidad al que someta estas producciones. See more Mate V @Vmatev 7 hrs ago Not bad but there are a lot of things that just dont make sense, not too realistic. See more Tim L @RT98864871 20 hrs ago From time to time, one stumbles upon a dud so incredibly bad that it's game-over in less than 15 minutes. This is that dud. See more Racheal L @insomniac_racheal 1 day ago The trailer and movie promo, with a man living inside a billboard, were actually intriguing however, the movie turned out to be an absolute disaster 🥱 The cast seemed entirely lost and they delivered flat, uninspired acting that made it impossible to care whether the family survives or not. I also didn't care for those "monsters" and their powers made zero sense—ancient marine life magically locking deadbolts with rain? It completely killed the movie. The ending was also so profoundly stupid that it makes you regret the last two hours of your life 🙄 See more Edward C @MovieMan999 1 day ago Super boring. Terrible voice acting. It was never good at any point. See more Nelly T @BalrogJones 1 day ago I wanted to like this so badly!!!! See more Read all reviews
