Consensus:
Though Right at Your Door dips into melodrama at the end, it's an otherwise tense, effective, and eerily plausible doomsday scenario.

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

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

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

After the Katrina tragedy, the filmmaker's fears are both well-grounded and keenly realized.

Cunningly riffs on everything from George Romero's Night of the Living Dead and The Crazies to our current terrorist-related night-sweats.

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

[Stars] Cochrane and McCormack have zero chemistry and their characters are so different that they never compute as a couple.

Right at Your Door instead, grows more and more incredible leading up to a twist ending worthy of an O. Henry short story that is as appropriate as it is ridiculous.

Crosses our real-life national nightmares with a cleverly constructed thriller to create a movie that is smart, impeccably acted, and extremely unsettling.

[Director] Gorak succeeds in raising larger issues about societal paranoia, and the dangers of being too obedient and trusting of the powers that be.
