With a little over a week left in July, it's time to start looking at what Netflix has to offer for subscribers in the coming month. There is a mix of original and licensed shows and movies hitting the streamer in August, with some returning for new seasons and others being brand-new. Netflix has not had much success with sci-fi movies this year since War Machine was released in February and became one of the most-watched movies ever on the platform. Many new movies have flown under the radar, apart from a few, like the hit rom-com Voicemails for Isabelle.
But for fans craving raw action and horror, Netflix might have saved the best for later with a new sci-fi horror set for release on August 7. This film features an expansive narrative and has attracted top talent as stars and director. Past Lives and The Morning Show's Greta Lee stars alongside Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent) as Anna and Jason, respectively. The couple has two children, Graham and Ruth. This family is in for a rude awakening when, one morning, they realize they're trapped in their home with no way out, as all potential exits are sealed by an unexplained phenomenon.
The sci-fi thriller titled The Last House was written by Matthew Robinson and directed by Louis Leterrier. The French director is known for directing high-octane thrillers like The Transporter and Fast & Furious. Leterrier directed the first and second movies in Jason Statham's franchise. He also directed the tenth installment in the Vin Diesel-led franchise and is also back for the 11th installment set for 2028. If Leterrier's past is any indicator, The Last House could be a thrilling ride.
What Is 'The Last House About?
The film combines science fiction with post-apocalyptic horror as a four-person family is trapped in their house. They later learn that everyone in the world is facing the same circumstances. After the shock wears off, the family must figure out how to survive, so they go back to basics, focusing on their fundamental needs. And for three years, they survive, and the kids grow up. When the movie starts, Noah Alexander Sosnowski and Riley Chung play young Graham and Ruth, but later, Gabriel Chung and Emma Ho take over the roles. But trouble is far from over for this family. They may think they're one of the lucky few to survive, but what if they weren't that lucky? Outside, anew threat emerges that could end them all. When they can finally leave, maybe they don't want to.
The Last House hits Netflix on August 7. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
