Right at Your Door: Critic Reviews

There are no zombies to distract from the plausibility of Right at Your Door. And that's what makes this smart, coolly horrifying American indie thriller one of the scariest movies you're likely to see all year.

The acting's pretty good, and the cinematography keeps things lively.

A vivid portrait of a town in crisis.

Right at Your Door is a tick-tock of post-apocalyptic paranoia and moral ambiguity that would have made for some taut psychodrama on The Twilight Zone.

Maybe this is how the world ends in LA -- not with a bang but a 96-minute whimper.

Has an ironic and unpredictable ending.

Nightmarish.

[The film] grabs the viewer by the throat in the first few minutes, but quickly fritters away involvement by concentrating almost exclusively on two characters who are both annoying and boring.

As frightening as it intends to be, but not enjoyably so.

While this is admittedly not lighthearted mainstream fare, the subject matter is interesting and is handled in a manner that offers a compelling and sometimes unsettling 95 minutes.

Right at Your Door takes a viewer on a harrowing, distinctly uncomfortable journey.

Strikingly different than most end-of-the-world midnight-movie scenarios.

A realistic chilling post-9/11 doomsday film.

Right At Your Door effectue en somme un retour fracassant sur les deux dernieres grandes tragedies ayant secoue la population etats-unienne.

As a story, it's about twice as long as it should be, but as a horror experience, it's just about right.

...a low-key yet sporadically tense drama...

While Brad fumes in his tight shots, Lexi is mobile.

The agitated, theatrical dialogue reaches frenzied, jackhammer proportions even during the film's supposed quiet moments; it's thoroughly draining.

A pretty chilling affair.

It will rattle your comfort zone and keep you unnerved throughout.

There's no levity at all to distract from the unrelenting horror, unless you consider the entire film to be a big sick joke

McCormack and Cochrane can't transcend the cliched, meandering dialogue, so Brad and Lexi's dilemma never feels like anything but a didactic contrivance.
