Netflix’s upcoming sci-fi thriller will drive you out of your homes this August
Netflix is releasing The Last House, an upcoming sci-fi thriller directed by Louis Leterrier, known for Now You See Me and Lupin, premiering in August. The film stars Greta Lee (Past Lives) and Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent) as a married couple whose lives take a terrifying turn when they and their two children become mysteriously sealed inside their home.
Despite desperate attempts to break free, no amount of force or destruction proves sufficient to breach the barrier trapping them. The ensemble cast also includes Gabriel Barbosa (May December), Emma Ho (The Expanse), Noah Alexander Sosnowski (Section 8), and Riley Chung (Sunrise).
The premise suggests a larger, global crisis, though the full scope of the threat remains unclear from available details. The film appears to explore themes of confinement, desperation, and an unknown external phenomenon that extends beyond the family’s predicament.
