The Last House Trailer Traps Greta Lee and Wagner Moura in a Sci-Fi Nightmare
Netflix has released the first trailer for The Last House, offering an early look at the upcoming sci-fi thriller and its mysterious tale of a family trapped inside their own home. And based on first impressions, it definitely looks promising.

The Last House Premise
The film follows Ann and Jason, an ordinary couple whose morning takes a terrifying turn when every exit from their house suddenly stops working. The doors refuse to open, and any windows they break mysteriously repair themselves. Their neighbors appear to be trapped inside their homes too, suggesting that the family’s impossible confinement may extend far beyond their property.
With no explanation and no clear way out, Ann and Jason must find a way to keep their children, Ruth and Graham, alive. The trailer watches days become weeks and eventually years as food disappears, plants overtake the surrounding neighborhood, and the family attempts to create a sustainable existence within the same walls. Its final stretch jumps ahead to day 1,183, when the front door appears to unlock and a desperate stranger arrives outside. His presence offers the possibility of answers, although the footage keeps the nature of the larger threat carefully hidden.
That combination of an unexplained widespread event and characters experiencing it from a limited perspective gives The Last House some immediate Cloverfield energy. Its claustrophobic domestic setting feels even closer to 10 Cloverfield Lane, with every missing piece of information making the outside world seem as dangerous as the house itself.
Cast and Official Release Date
Greta Lee and Wagner Moura lead the cast as Ann and Jason. Riley Chung and Noah Alexander Sosnowski portray the younger versions of Ruth and Graham, while Emma Ho and Gabriel Barbosa play the children later in the family’s prolonged isolation. Louis Leterrier directs the film from a screenplay by Matthew Robinson.
The Last House arrives exclusively on Netflix on August 7, 2026.
