There are no zombies to distract from the plausibility of Right at Your Door. And thats what makes this smart, coolly horrifying American indie thrill ..

What starts out as a horrible, even tragic set up ends up feeling more like a so so episode of The Twilight Zone.
Time Out

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 ..

In fact theres only a big cloud that looks a bit more like an overly smoggy day.
2.5
Another overstretched Rod Serling episode with misplaced irony that provides so many false moments of its own that its impossible to take seriously.

2.5
Cochrane and McCormack have zero chemistry and their characters are so different that they never compute as a couple.
San Francisco Chronicle

A necessary counter argument to the wave of patriotic 9/11 movies, this homes in on the other side of disaster and rings horribly true in the wake of ..

While this is admittedly not lighthearted mainstream fare, the subject matter is interesting and is handled in a manner that offers a compelling and s ..
ReelViews
2.5
The agitated, theatrical dialogue reaches frenzied, jackhammer proportions even during the films supposed quiet moments; its thoroughly draining.

The poignancy of Right at Your Door lay in its real possibility in this volatile age.
3.5
That doesnt happen in Right at Your Door, though I will say that there are some events in the last act that you wont see coming.
Eric Ds Nider
4.0
McCormack and Cochrane are both amazing, giving outrageously raw performances that leave us breathless most of the time.
Shadows On The Wall
3.0
Intense, harrowing and claustrophobic drama with strong performances and a judiciously aimed kick at both the authorities and the media.

Their agent, Hillary (Wendi McLendon Covey), isnt only a little bit wacky, shes more than a little bit racist.
New York Post

Filmmaker Chris Goraks unflinching focus, admirably impossible choices and unromantic naturalism make it a damned sight better than the much hyped TV ..

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

The first reel is intriguing and the ominous mood is consistently right, but ultimately, this potentially timely feature shows its narrative weaknesse ..

A healthy mixture of On the Beach, and Fail Safe, Chris Goraks Right at your Door is possibly one of the most horrifying apocalyptic films Ive seen in ..
Cinema Crazed

The melodrama that ensues and budgetary constraints ensure that this picture still has many flaws, most notably a conclusion that goes against the gra ..

I know its wrong to laugh at stuff like this because thats not what the filmmaker intended.

4.0
With a minimal effects budget, still convincingly depicts a city ripped by terror and confusion.
Flim Threet

But it loses a star for the much hyped big twist ending, a silly Roald Dahl style switcheroo that is both structurally pointless and makes a nonsense ..

Id be lying if I didnt admit I wanted more from this, but for a while there Gorak and his team really did have me going.
Movie Freak
2.0
Movies about moral choices work if we can relate to the characters motivations, but that never happens here.
Mirror
2.5
If Gorak had made his characters more engaging he might have commanded a suspense level worthy of an Armageddon.
Varia Gate
3.0
But the film still stands as a tense and effective morality tale; a vivid portrait of a town in crisis.
Film Guardian
3.5
These drafts are mostly the same as what wound up on screen, so dont expect revolutionary changes.
Dvd Talk
3.5
An intimate disaster drama that gets under the skin like a virulent toxin.
Film4

One supposes that a start to finish interesting film could be made from this material, especially since this essential dilemma is so ripe with dramati ..
Movies Ign
1.5
Listening to these two irritating people in a movie thats not scary is exasperating.
Compuserve
4.0
Gorak racks up the tension and sustains it with an innovative score and less than innovative hand held camerawork, and the performances are skillfully ..
FEARnet
3.8
Gorak succeeds in raising larger issues about societal paranoia, and the dangers of being too obedient and trusting of the powers that be.
