The Last House

A house becomes a trap in the most literal sense: a family sealed in, supplies shrinking, and something outside content to wait them out. Stripping a siege story down to one location and one household is a smart move, because it turns every decision into a shared one, and the question of who rations, who panics, and who insists on opening the door does more work than any monster could. The threat stays deliberately unnamed, which is where this kind of film draws most of its power.

Made for viewers who like confinement horror and survival tension, where dread accumulates rather than jumps out at you. Across an hour and fifty it tightens steadily as resources run down and tempers fray, with the family dynamic carrying as much weight as the menace itself. If you enjoy watching ordinary people make hard choices under pressure, and you do not need every question answered, this is a taut, claustrophobic pick for a dark evening in.
