Netflix thriller ‘The Last House’ tops global charts with 27.5 million views

Netflix's new sci-fi thriller, ‘The Last House’, has become a major streaming hit, reaching 27.5 million views within its first three days of release. The film has topped viewership charts in 82 countries, including the United States, outperforming other recent releases.

Directed by Louis Leterrier, the film stars Greta Lee and Wagner Moura. The plot follows the Delgado family, who find themselves mysteriously trapped inside their home during an unprecedented rainfall, unable to open doors or windows while facing dwindling resources and an unknown external threat.

Despite its massive commercial success, the film has received poor reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a low score of approximately 22-23 percent. Reviewers have criticized the production for its formulaic storytelling and lack of thematic depth, even as it validates Netflix's recent strategic shift toward mid-budget genre films.
