I Can't Tell if I Hate or Love-Hate the #1 Movie on Netflix

This new Netflix movie has my name written all over it. It stars two of my favorite actors, Greta Lee and Wagner Moura, both of whom have delivered powerhouse, award-worthy performances in the past. It's a horror-thriller with a fun Bird Box or A Quiet Place apocalyptic premise. And it's the number one movie on Netflix right now, meaning everyone is tuned in. So why was I so confused while watching it?

The Last House on Netflix follows a family of four as they wake up during a rainstorm to discover that it's become impossible to leave their house. And a quick glance out the window at the neighbors' homes reveals that they aren't alone in this predicament. It's a cool concept (likely from some kind of Netflix algorithm) that sadly can't deliver in the way Bird Box and A Quiet Place do.

The first half of the film is a bit slow, though this is certainly made up for towards the end in terms of action. It's just that the "action" (no spoilers here) was more bonkers than it was enjoyable. Things really go off the rails during the movie's climax, and I was left thinking, What the hell did I just watch?

And despite The Last House topping Netflix's top ten, it seems viewers are equally as unenthused as I am. The film has a dismal 24 percent critic rating and a pitiful 28 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

There's a fine line between hating something and love-hating it, so I'll let you decide which side of the line you fall on with The Last House.
