Anne Hathaway’s ‘Last Day on Oak Street’ delivers 99 minutes of everyday life being swallowed whole on the 26th

Directed by David Robert Mitchell, the film follows a fight for survival in a 1980s neighborhood and is rated for ages 12 and older

‘Last Day on Oak Street,’ a new film starring Hollywood heavyweight Anne Hathaway, opens in theaters on the 26th. The film depicts an intense fight for survival after a peaceful American neighborhood in the 1980s suddenly transforms into a merciless hunting ground for enormous ‘dinosaurs.’

The collapse of a familiar refuge unleashes a primal terror that erases all boundaries

The film takes a sharp turn the morning after a powerful storm sweeps through. The main setting is a town completely cut off from the outside world, with its electricity and water supplies severed and its surroundings sealed off by unidentified ancient plants and sheer cliffs. Greg, played by Ewan McGregor, and Denise, played by Anne Hathaway, are a distant couple who fight desperately to protect their two children from predators that have taken over the streets they walked every day.

The film’s most distinctive feature is the way it twists ‘ordinary spaces of everyday life’—from the backyard where children once played to the living room still filled with the warmth of family—into deadly stages where survival is at stake, rather than setting the story on a remote island or in a controlled theme park. Director David Robert Mitchell said the film grew out of “the strange image of a giant reptile rummaging through a trash can on an ordinary residential street.”

As the story unfolds, the scale of the terror expands exponentially. After the small and medium-sized creatures that appear early in the film, a succession of overwhelming beasts emerges, including a giant pterosaur that controls the skies and a deadly predator lurking underwater. Anne Hathaway, who leads the cast, highlighted the film’s central draw: “Just when you breathe a sigh of relief after barely making it through a crisis, an even larger creature appears. That approach will maximize the audience’s fear.” The film runs 99 minutes and is rated for ages 12 and older.
