*Warning - contains spoilers for The Last House*
The Last House issues an urgent statement more timely than some would think in a sci-fi thriller.
The movie is centred around the Delgados, a seemingly regular family who find themselves trapped inside their home with every exit sealed shut.
At first days go by, but those days turn into weeks and those weeks turn into months and before they know it, they have been stuck inside their home for five years with a raging storm around them.
With desperate times calling for desperate measures, the family are forced to take things into their own hands, including capturing wildlife from their garden to eat. But there's a statement that recurs: "It's their home too."
The youngest Delgado, Ruth, grows uncomfortable with the constant capturing and killing of the animals and soon becomes sympathetic to the very creatures keeping her and her family hostage.
In the final act of the movie, it becomes apparent that sea creatures have been holding the family hostage and causing the storm around them.
As the Delgados become desperate to escape when they realise the creatures are able to open the door when they please, it's a final act of mercy from Jason when he drops a blade, resisting killing one of the creatures, that allows the Delgado family to finally be free – as the words, "It's their home too" echo in his ears.
Despite the movie being science fiction, the core message of caring for the world around us is something star Wagner Moura finds incredibly important.
On the movie being indicative of our environment today, Moura told Radio Times: "Oh, absolutely. I've been here in Europe since April and it's so hot. And I think that climate change is a thing and people are not really paying attention to it.
"So for sure, the film brings this idea of we really have to take care of our home. But the entire planet as a home, too. Like, it feels like a cliché thing to say, but it is true."
The film's production was also incredibly climate focused, having reduced overall fuelemissions by 45 per cent through electric vehicles, renewable fuels, renewable grid electricity, electric boilers, batteries and hybrid generators.
The team also sourced costumes and props secondhand, used responsibly sourced lumber, and implemented on-site recycling and composting programmes.
And it was truly a group effort across all departments. Those who worked on the costumes reinvented the limited garments, curtains, bedding and anything else that helped the costumes convey the shift from modern clothing to makeshift survival garments.
"There were some extremely deliberate choices made that I cannot even begin to understand how they were able to execute," Lee previously said. "What they accomplished was truly astounding because to create a realistic sense of aging is, I think, really hard, and it felt so essential to us as actors to really feel like the house had aged with us."
