The Last House review: The Last House is an engaging survival thriller and one that can be watched with the family from the comforts of home. The Last House review: A family of four finds itself trapped inside its home when the doors and windows inexplicably refuse to open. The survival tale’s most effective idea is its transformation of the home — a place meant to ensure their safety turns into a battleground. Greta Lee (of Past Lives fame) and Wagner Moura, who earned an Oscar nomination for The Secret Agent, are parents determined to protect their children. Their performances ground the film as the couple fall into familiar survival roles: Jason (Moura), drawing on his skills as an engineer, becomes the hunter and gatherer, while Ann (Lee) instinctively assumes the role of a nurturer.
