On a random day, the Delgado family, consisting of father Jason (Wagner Moura), mother Riley (Greta Lee) and their two children, find themselves unable to leave their home. The windows and doors have all been tightly sealed during a mysterious and endless rainfall. They’re not the only ones: everyone in their neighborhood is trapped inside their homes, too. It’s unclear how widespread this lockdown is, or how long it will last, but the family has no choice but to come together and try to survive against the unknown threat for as long as possible.
Despite the unknowns confining the Delgado family to their house, Robinson says The Last House is at its heart an optimistic movie.

Something The Last House leaves audiences wondering: what exactly are the creatures that have locked people inside their homes? It’s suggested they come from the ocean, given their abilities and powers come from water and the film’s opening quote from Arthur C. Clarke, “How inappropriate to call this planet ‘Earth,’ when clearly it is ‘Ocean.’” “We always referred to them as the creatures,” explains Robinson. “I think it’s important to stay in the perspective of the family. They don’t have a name for them. They’re just trying to understand and glean whatever they can from the clues they’re given throughout. It’s fun to have people be as confused as they are.”
Time weighs heavily on the family. The first days go by fairly smoothly, but weeks, and then months later, things get more and more difficult. Luckily, Jason has an engineering background, and once they run out of food, he’s able to create an elaborate trap out of the chimney to bring in a fairly steady supply of meat. And under their floorboards, they plant soil for vegetables. They develop a well-oiled machine that carries the family through e for an astonishing five years. The bizarre creatures that roam outside leave them in relative peace—until, one day, they decide to come inside.
A creature releases the seal on the house and makes its way inside. But the Delgado family is prepared, and Jason’s skills as an engineer once again prove fruitful, as they’ve fashioned weapons from everyday objects. What they’re not prepared for is the creature flooding the house, which almost kills them. But Jason uses his harpoon to trap the creature. They have the opportunity to kill it, but instead they opt for a humane approach, freeing the creature from its restraints. It leaves the house, but leaves it unsealed, meaning that for the first time in five years, the family is free to go outside.

And what is it that the Delgado family is feeling at the end? “I always try and put myself in the kid’s perspective because I can only imagine how traumatic it would have been to spend five years trapped in your house, having lost all your friends and connections,” says Robinson. “But they did escape. It took all of them. They’re all necessary components of this machine, this family they’re a part of. They had to show up fully and trust each other, so I think because they have that, there’s a sense of peace and calm. Knowing that peace with your loved ones, that even if scary things are happening, the fact they’re in this together is all they need to survive.”
Adds Robinson: “The future is completely unknown. They don’t know what’s over the next wave, but they’re together and they’re going to find a way.”
