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

Jan Stuart, Newsday: If Rod Serling had had a shot at penning a post-9/11 scenario for The Twilight Zone, it might have come out something like this compact and creepy suspense thriller of apocalypse, Los Angeles-style. 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

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: While this is admittedly not lighthearted mainstream fare, the subject matter is interesting and is handled in a manner that offers a compelling and sometimes unsettling 95 minutes. Read more

Pam Grady, San Francisco Chronicle: [Stars] Cochrane and McCormack have zero chemistry and their characters are so different that they never compute as a couple. Read more

Ben Walters, Time Out: What starts out as a horrible, even tragic set-up ends up feeling more like a so-so episode of The Twilight Zone. Read more

Todd McCarthy, Variety: [The film] grabs the viewer by the throat in the first few minutes, but quickly fritters away involvement by concentrating almost exclusively on two characters who are both annoying and boring. Read more

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: Right at Your Door is a tick-tock of post-apocalyptic paranoia and moral ambiguity that would have made for some taut psychodrama on The Twilight Zone. Read more
