The Last House

The Last House proves that a single-room thriller can still terrify modern audiences, and it does so with relentless efficiency—its 96-minute runtime passes in what feels like half that time. Shot with a shoestring $12 million budget, the film has become the week's most profitable horror feature, earning $65 million globally. Unlike the grand scale of The Odyssey, this movie traps viewers inside one home, with 87% of the story taking place in four confined rooms. For audiences burned on bloated fantasy epics, this house is a whole new cage of fear.
