Average Rating

The Last House earns its strongest marks for racial and ethnic diversity, placing an Asian mother and Brazilian father in central roles within a mainstream sci-fi thriller. Their mixed-race children reinforce a household that reflects real-world diversity. Gender representation is handled with notable balance: both parents share leadership and survival responsibilities equally over years of isolation, avoiding the common horror trope that sidelines women in crisis. However, the film’s diversity footprint narrows sharply elsewhere. There is no LGBTQ+ presence, no disability representation, and the story remains confined to a single family unit without engaging broader community diversity. These gaps pull the overall score down despite the strong casting choices.
