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.
Directed by Louis Leterrier, The last house poses a survival claustrophobic thriller where a family gets trapped in its own home after a strange global anomaly
