Even if Lee and Moura work overtime to sell the terrifying scenario these parents find themselves in, ridiculous lines and worse decision-making takes us out of the moment. Go to Full Review

2/4
There’s nothing to tether yourself to, no real narrative anchor point that’s anything more than a discombobulated message of the power of family. Go to Full Review
Guy Lodge Variety 4d
The film is most compelling throughout as a straightforward domestic drama, with increasingly fraught family dynamics lending proceedings a baseline of credibility even as whatever’s happening outside the house remains largely inscrutable. Go to Full Review

Feels like what would happen if Home Alone suddenly decided it was a sci-fi movie. Go to Full Review

The Last House had the potential to be a thrilling and thought-provoking take on humanity’s relationship to the ocean. Ultimately, it was a half-baked attempt at presenting such ideas Go to Full Review

Filipe S @RT67637605 1h Valeu bem a pena! Adoro este tipo de filmes e este é um must watch See more Paul J. F @RT31168009 1h Great concept and idea. Luckily though, being that is a Netflix production, my expectations were already pretty low. I don't know who is responsible for green lighting projects/scripts at Netflix, but as my dad always has, 'the world needs plenty of bartenders'. See more OnionsThatOnions T @Onionbox 2h It’s pretty good, loved the acting and set design. I’m a little mixed with the time skip and how the “Water sealant” works See more kim D @RT03166877 4h I normally don't watch supernatural and/or sci-fi movies, but I feel this movie got low ratings by "mistake" - lol did people finish it? I like that it made me do a deep dive into if we would have been able to survive that (what's my fridge and pantry looking like), etc. The family moments were touching, the dog scene I normally could not do... but the way they presented was actually real. I thought it was good and I feel there will be a part 2. See more SANtANA C @forbidnApple 5h Great concept; bad production, tacky dialogue, flip-flop storyline, lacked emotional depth, lacked cinematic effects, children outperformed adults, felt chop-shop edited. Overall, wasted op... "The Amazing Last House" one-upper follow-up/spin-off/multiverse/gory version of percy Jackson or aquamarine chronicles, perhaps?! Ground was soft. Why not dig way out huh. Would rather watch more of creatures than 'togetherness' of family See more Marty R @RT07473861 5h This "film" is one of the worst I've ever seen. The unfortunate part, is that it's a cool idea/premise. However, the acting, writing, dialogue, and directing are horrendously laughable. The whole thing gave me "The Room" vibes. It started with the lead's terrible acting and tough to discern accent. I immediately thought of Tommy Wiseau. Everything else about the movie is awful, and unintentionally hilarious, much like "The Room." For that reason, I think this movie could one day be a huge cult classic too. I can already imagine having a group of friends sitting around laughing our asses off watching this, and having as much fun and joy as I do when I watch Tommy Wiseau's "The Room."
