Hideo Kojima is back with another movie review, and this time it's a rather positive take on an otherwise panned release.

"I watched 'The Last House,'" Kojima tweeted. "Isolation? Loneliness? There were parts that felt a little like Death Stranding."

The Last House, directed by Louis Leterrier (Now You See Me, Fast X) and written by Matthew Robinson (The Invention of Lying), follows a family trapped in their home as a mysterious disaster affects the entire world, forcing them to learn how to survive. The cast includes Greta Lee, Wagner Moura, Arden Cho, and Noah Alexander Sosnowski. The film has a 27% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as a 28% audience score. Some critics have called the story itself "half-baked," with others saying that there isn't enough time spent on fleshing out the family to actually have an emotional stake as a viewer.

I watched “The Last House.” Isolation? Loneliness? There were parts that felt a little like Death Stranding. 🐟☔️ pic.twitter.com/w7q0wxjL1LAugust 11, 2026

Kojima's Death Stranding, released in 2019, takes place in an apocalyptic America and sees the player control a courier who must deliver supplies to remote colonies known as Knot Cities - which make up what is known as the United Cities of America - and reconnect them via a wireless communications network. It's bleak and desolate (and filled with freaky creatures), so I do get the comparison. There's also a Death Stranding movie in the works from A Quiet Place Part 2 director Michael Sarnoski.

The Last House is streaming now on Netflix. The live-action Death Stranding movie is currently undated. For more, check out our guide to the best movies on Netflix.
