Review of Right at Your Door (2006) by Sam C — 24 Jan 2010
This is more of a minimalist psychological film, much like William Friedkin's Bug or the recently released Pontypool. The film mostly revolves around one location as our protagonist, Brad, boards and duct tapes his house off from the world after multiple dirty bombs go off in downtown Los Angeles. The plot thickens since his wife was driving downtown as these bombs going off, leaving Brad to wonder if shes' infected or not.
A rainfall of toxic ash liters the lanscape while Brad and a worker form next door whole up in Brad's house. Brad's wife eventually finds her way back home, and this is where the film really gets interesting. After all, how would you act if your loved one showed up on your doorstep, yet you were afraid to let her inside since it could mean that you could be infected to?
Right At Your Door isn't perfect, but it is really interesting how it plays out. We don't see any explosions, only smoke drifting up from the horizon. Minimalist horror at its best.
