What makes it different from others?

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Right at Your Door tells us the story of a young couple who has recently moved to L.A. just in time for a large terrorist attack. Fundamentally this this movie is hard to review because of the difficulty in articulating the plot holes and logical fallacies that riddle the script. Some of these problems could have easily been managed with a few expository lines of dialogue, but unfortunately the writer assumed you would have the movie on in the other room. Making commentary on the acting seems to be unfair, as the lack of chemistry could easily be written off as poor writing. Many of the characters and there actions leave the audience confused as to why they would behave in such away or even be present in the movie to begin with.Ultimately this movie would score a 1/10 if it weren't the first movie to point out the stupidity of duct taping one's self into a home to avoid a biological contaminate. Unless you look back fondly on the years of color-coded terror threats and nonsensical fear-mongering, just pass this one by and never look back.

I bought the film because Mary McCormack is in it. She played Lexi, the wife and the woman who is on her way to work when an explosion grips Los Angeles into a dangerous infected area. Whatever, her husband's character is home and blocks off the house from his wife because she could be contaminated. With all the alleged drama, the film never really captures the devastation because it's low budget. After a few minutes, I just watched it but I didn't care for it or the main characters. Rory Cochrane does a decent job in playing the husband but his fate is still in question. The movie can be vague at times with answering questions about contamination. There are some nice moments like Lexi helping Timmy out but the film never comes forward to me as being alive.

"Right at your door" is a movie where I wasn't really sure what was going on. Within that first couple of scenes there was romance which lead to danger. Something happened in the city which caused friction and in a way this was the climax of the movie. So in the first couple of scenes the plot escalated and then reached the climax, and then panned off. I believe this movie was a low budget movie, because the side-effects were creative rather than explosive. I liked the plastic that was used to cover the doorways. I think one of the main questions to ask oneself is: what would you do if you knew your life was in danger? What would you do if you had to choose to help others or help yourself? In a way this movie was revealing. It did explore the humans' sense of survival. The idea of 'survival of the fittest.' I love how the movie ends.

A poisonous bomb is set-off spreading a toxic cloud across Los Angeles. Brad seals himself in his house for his own survival, however, he becomes torn between letting his wife back in to their home or leaving her outside to die.Chris Gorak direction and camera work gives a sense of realism and he gives the viewer a cleverly written ending. There is some tension created especially when the gas masked army personnel want to get access to his house. Gorak's screenplay is dark and grim. It explores self-preservation, moral decisions and ones conscience.The acting is first rate and natural, Mary McCormack is great and Rory Cochrane is excellent as Brad, a normal everyday guy. However, Right at Your Door appears to run out of steam midway through, not knowing what to do with the characters.Carriers (2009) appears to have borrowed a lot from Gorak's offering, but like Carriers it's not a film you'd want to sit thought again.Overall, an emotional great idea that's well made but becomes monotonous.
