Netflix releases sci-fi thriller The Last House with Hollywood billboard stunt
Netflix has released the sci-fi horror thriller "The Last House," directed by Louis Leterrier and starring Wagner Moura and Greta Lee. The film follows a family of four who find themselves mysteriously sealed inside their home following a sudden storm, forced to survive as resources dwindle and unknown entities threaten them from the outside.
To promote the release, Netflix launched a unique marketing stunt in Hollywood. A performer was placed inside a fully furnished living room constructed within a billboard 30 feet above the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Selma Avenue. The installation, which includes a couch, table, and curtains, allows the actor to interact with passersby via a whiteboard, mirroring the film's theme of isolation.
Critical reception for the film has been mixed. While many praise the strong lead performances by Moura and Lee, some reviewers noted that the film struggles to maintain tension throughout its runtime. The narrative explores psychological themes of isolation and survival, with some interpretations suggesting the mysterious creatures are linked to the ocean.
