Louis Leterrier’s film, The Last House, premiered on Netflix on August 7 and quickly reached the number one position on the platform’s charts. The cast includes Wagner Moura, Greta Lee, Emma Ho, Noah Alexander Sosnowski, and Riley Chung. Hideo Kojima, known for his film critiques, recently published a review of the Netflix film starring Wagner Moura and Greta Lee. While critical, Kojima noted that the movie contains elements reminiscent of his video game, Death Stranding. He commented, “Isolation Loneliness There were parts that felt a little like Death Stranding.” Kojima’s “I Watched” reviews typically signal his dissatisfaction with a film, whereas more extensive discussions suggest a more impactful viewing experience. Between August 3 and 9 of its release year, The Last House ranked as the number one English-language film on Netflix. The movie received a 27 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics largely citing issues with the plot. This critical reception stands in contrast to Kojima’s qualified comments.
