The Plot…

Jason, Ann and their two kids, Graham and Ruth are inside when a powerful storm hits.  After the rain, they discover that their doors and windows are sealed shut.  Worse still, the rain did the same to everyone’s house.  When Jason attempts to break windows, knock down the door or bust through walls, he discovers the rain somehow placed an unbreakable barrier around their house.

At first, they are sure help will come.  But it doesn’t.  They have electricity and water but no phone service or internet.  Inventory is taken.  They begin rationing food.  As a family they prepare for longterm survival — an indoor garden, a water reclamation system, and more.

They’ve done all they can.  But will it be enough?

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

The Last House has an interesting concept: trapped in your house and you have to figure a plan for survival.   For me, it was an interesting ride until the end.  I didn’t care for the ending.  It reminded me of the old saying, “It’s not the destination, but the journey that matters.”

The Last House (2026) rates 3 of 5 stars.
