- Netflix has shared a new trailer for sci-fi movie The Last House
- It arrives on the streaming service on August 7
- The movie follows a family who become trapped inside their home
The word "home" is often associated with comfort and safety, but Netflix's new movie The Last House explores what happens when it becomes your prison instead.
Indeed, the best streaming service just dropped a tense new trailer for the upcoming sci-fi movie which is set to hit our screens on August 7. Here, we see an ordinary family learn they have been sealed within their homes and there's no obvious way to get out.
I really like this trailer because it immediately answers the obvious question of "well, why don't they just break the windows and escape?". Take a look below and see just how trapped they really are...

The intriguing new movie is directed by Louis Leterrier, who's best known for his work on The Transporter and Now You See Me. Here, he's swapping fast paced action scenes for a more tense, claustrophobic story.
Speaking to Tudum, Leterrier said "you won’t be able to look at your house or family the same way again" and honestly, even the trailer has got me feeling on edge about my house so I can believe it.
Greta Lee and Wagner Moura play a couple trying to keep their children calm during their sudden entrapment, but it becomes harder when days turn into weeks and then years. Yep, something really weird is going on here.
As seen in the trailer, the family learn that they aren't the only ones affected by this and it is more widespread than they thought. With an unnamed threat looming outside, I'll be tuning in to see whether they make it out of this situation alive.
