Director Louis Leterrier has brought his sci-fi horror thriller The Last House to Netflix. And the streaming giant is celebrating the release with a publicity stunt that takes claustrophobia to a whole new level.

They are forced to navigate shrinking resources while surviving whatever sinister force is keeping them locked inside.
