The Last House
Directed by Louis Leterrier · Greta Lee, Wagner Moura, Riley Chung

“A sealed-house thriller with prestige actors, an 80-piece orchestra and exactly one thermostat setting: ominous.”
Louis Leterrier traps Greta Lee and Wagner Moura inside a fortified home while supplies shrink and an unseen threat tightens the screws.

Netflix promoted it with a performer inside a giant transparent house, proving subtle dread now needs a billboard permit.
