The Last House review: this tedious thriller is the worst Netflix movie of the year, and it's nothing like the trailer promised

The Last House, a Netflix thriller, has disappointed audiences with its tedious plot and unfulfilled promises, according to critics. The film, heavily promoted by Netflix, appears to be the worst movie of the year, despite the platform's best efforts to market it. The trailer for The Last House misled viewers into believing the story would involve a family trapped inside their home for just a few days, but the actual plot extends over years.

Despite some promising performances from Greta Lee and Wagner Moura as parents attempting to maintain order in the confined space, the film falters due to a confusing script and an unsatisfying conclusion. The first 15 minutes show potential with a long-term plan, but the movie quickly loses control as it progresses. The uncertainty surrounding the genre makes it difficult to categorize The Last House as either a thrilling experience or a thought-provoking drama.

Additionally, the unnecessary cruelty towards animals adds to the film's jarring moments, making it a movie to skip for those seeking a satisfying thriller. The weak creature design fails to compensate for the lack of information about the threat and its purpose in keeping the family trapped. Unfortunately, The Last House does not deliver on its initial promise, and viewers are left with more questions than answers.
