Netflix unveils The Last House look

- Netflix on April 28 retitled Louis Leterrier’s sci-fi thriller from 11817 to The Last House and set Greta Lee and Wagner Moura’s film for August 7. - The official logline says a family of four is sealed inside its home with no exit, facing dwindling supplies and a mysterious force outside. - The project was announced in January 2025 as 11817, so today’s reveal turns a long-gestating Netflix original into a dated release.

Netflix has given Louis Leterrier’s sci-fi thriller a new title, The Last House, and dated it for August 7 on the service. (netflix.com) (hollywoodreporter.com) The film stars Greta Lee and Wagner Moura as part of a family of four that cannot leave its home. Netflix’s first-look images arrived Tuesday, April 28, alongside the release-date announcement. (netflix.com) (yahoo.com) Netflix describes the story as a survival thriller about a family sealed inside with no way out. The threat is both practical and unexplained: their resources run low while a mysterious force keeps them trapped. (netflix.com 1) (netflix.com 2) The title matters because the movie was introduced by Netflix in January 2025 under the working title 11817. Tuesday’s announcement is the first time Netflix publicly attached the new name and a release date to the project. (netflix.com) (hollywoodreporter.com) Leterrier directs from a script by Matthew Robinson. Netflix previously said Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping and Kori Adelson are producing for Chernin Entertainment, with Oly Obst also producing. (netflix.com) The cast was announced with Lee and Moura attached from the start. Netflix’s 2025 production update said the film had officially begun shooting and expanded the cast around them. (netflix.com) The new materials position the movie less as a conventional haunted-house setup than as a closed-door survival story with a science-fiction frame. Trade coverage on Tuesday described it as a sci-fi thriller rather than a straight domestic suspense film. (netflix.com) (hollywoodreporter.com) After more than a year as 11817, the film now has a public identity, a release date and a simple premise Netflix can sell in one line: a family trapped at home with nowhere to go.
