EXCLUSIVE: The Last House Director Talks Filming Netflix’s New Sci-Fi Horror Movie

  • On Friday, August 7, 2026, Netflix released The Last House, a sci-fi horror film directed by Louis Leterrier starring Oscar nominee Wagner Moura and Golden Globe nominee Greta Lee.
  • What begins as a typical Seattle rainstorm turns nefarious, sealing the Delgado family inside their home without internet or cell service as the apparently sentient precipitation becomes deadly.
  • Despite worthwhile performances from Moura and Lee, critics describe the film's messaging as 'discombobulated,' struggling to balance family resilience themes across its 100 severely unrewarding minutes.
  • Director Leterrier, known for Fast X, sought to capture an 'Amblin dark' aesthetic inspired by Steven Spielberg and author Richard Matheson, exploring the psychological dimensions of confinement.
  • The film is currently streaming on Netflix; while cinematography plays effectively with water and light, the project remains a divisive effort among audiences and critics alike.
