Even if Lee and Moura work overtime to sell the terrifying scenario these parents find themselves in, ridiculous lines and worse decision-making takes us out of the moment. Go to Full Review

2/4
There’s nothing to tether yourself to, no real narrative anchor point that’s anything more than a discombobulated message of the power of family. Go to Full Review
Guy Lodge Variety 4d
The film is most compelling throughout as a straightforward domestic drama, with increasingly fraught family dynamics lending proceedings a baseline of credibility even as whatever’s happening outside the house remains largely inscrutable. Go to Full Review

The Last House had the potential to be a thrilling and thought-provoking take on humanity’s relationship to the ocean. Ultimately, it was a half-baked attempt at presenting such ideas Go to Full Review

2/5
Some hard-hitting moments and memorable visuals are dotted here and there, but the main characters are way too thinly sketched to care about - not to mention annoying, shouty and suspiciously well-equipped with handy skills and smart one-liners. Go to Full Review

Luke T @LightSyson 1h I mainly enjoyed it. Surprised its rated so low. It takes a slightly darker turn than the first half hour suggested, the monsters are interesting. It looks quite good. Mainly good performances except the wife who was awful. It was so rushed though. The bit with the dog felt like they'd cut a full 10minutes. It kept ALMOST having scary moments and backing out which was a shame. Had potential for some real horror. The voice over was so unnecessary and cheapened it. But the family dynamics were good. And I loved the leviathan route. I'd watch the sequel See more R T @RT20926364 2h I was really looking forward to it since I got intrigued by the trailer. What a let down! some scenes just don't make any sense. See more Nicky F @RT52299900 4h This is the worst movie I’ve ever seen in my whole entire life even tubi made movies are better then this movie the whole movie makes the director seem like their just into watching animals get hurt cause that’s what half the movie shows over and over again it’s ridiculous and gross the movie also has zero sense at all it’s missing so much and it seems like a movie that was rushed and made just to get money not to actually entertain people. This movie is pure Brain slop. Feel bad that actors had to play in this movie and I feel bad for anyone that decides to waste their time and watch this "movie". See more Sean P @PunoPro 4h This film made me want to kick down my door and run away. How much can you suspend your disbelief until it becomes a comedy? For a PG-13, the first half felt like a Disney channel family movie. Then it slaps you in the face with a squirrel carcass. They should have called the film “Come on” because you’ll question physics, randomness, and the dreadful 3rd act. At least the acting saved me from watching it at 2 times the speed. See more Gabriel D @Gabed1991 4h This movie was terrible. I had to skim through it just to get to the ending See more Rebecca A @Cherrypop111 4h There is zero chemistry between the main characters. Separately and in different films, I like these two. But together? Insufferable. The cheesy dialogue and zero chemistry killed the plot line. Even the kids in this movie were more believable. The concept was good but fell flat completely. See more Read all reviews
