It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Blistering performances.
A great start, but moves into a boring, predictable poorly scripted, poorly acted mess. The reactions of the people are realistic for the most part, it's the science behind the whole premise that is bad. Dirty chemical bombs? Biological bombs? Dirty bombs are radioactive waste spread by explosion. Chemical and Biological agents would be hurt by explosions not spread. For a low budget movie the effects of the start are good. The acting and realism of the character's actions are good, but then it all goes down hill very rapidly. I have a hard time believing that other reviewers were actually scared by this movie. It enters a surreal, 'twilight zone' predictable last half, which wouldn't be so bad if it was trying for realism. Without spoiling things, I figured out the 'surprise' ending half way through the movie, or maybe sooner than that... I suppose people that like this sort of thing would appreciate the movie more than I did, but the flaws ruined it for me... I can't really fault the bad script, bad acting, since it was such a low budget attempt, but just too many logical unrealistic errors...
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.
This is a low budget film based on an unknown viral catastrophe. The film focuses on one family and how the deal with the perceived threat. The film feels very claustrophobic based on the fact it is mainly set indoors. The actors all do a good job as the tension grows throughout the film. The real beauty of the film for me was the ending which is unexpected and brilliantly realised. Maybe Spielberg can learn from this on how to end a film. Having seen this film 3 times now and enjoying it every time I strongly recommend it.
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.
