Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Maybe this is how the world ends in LA -- not with a bang but a 96-minute whimper. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: Nightmarish. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: There are no zombies to distract from the plausibility of Right at Your Door. And that's what makes this smart, coolly horrifying American indie thriller one of the scariest movies you're likely to see all year. Read more

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: It's the Cold War redux, but with the Enemy now everywhere. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: Has an ironic and unpredictable ending. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: As frightening as it intends to be, but not enjoyably so. Read more
