3.5/5
"An intimate disaster drama that gets under the skin like a virulent toxin."  Channel 4 Film  Anton Bitel

2.5/5
"Though not a zombie film (if only!), Gorak's shuffling contagion thriller lumbers and groans like the living dead."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

"While Brad fumes in his tight shots, Lexi is mobile."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

3.5/5
"As a story, it's about twice as long as it should be, but as a horror experience, it's just about right."  DVDTalk.com  David Cornelius

3.5/4
"...a low-key yet sporadically tense drama..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

B
"Not since the Jehovah's Witnesses came by has opening the front door seemed so terrifying."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

2/4
"Another overstretched Rod Serling episode with misplaced irony that provides so many false moments of its own that its impossible to take seriously."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

4/4
"A healthy mixture of "On the Beach," and "Fail Safe," Chris Gorak's "Right at your Door" is possibly one of the most horrifying apocalyptic films I've seen in years..."  Cinema Crazed  Felix Vasquez Jr.

C+
"Right at Your Door...feels like a paid, public announcement from the Plastics Industry Council about the miraculous impermeable properties of Saran Wrap, with a bit about the amazing binding powers of duct tape tossed in for good measure."  Cinepinion  Henry Stewart

3/4
"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."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3.5/5
"After the Katrina tragedy, the filmmaker's fears are both well-grounded and keenly realized."  Boxoffice Magazine  Jay Antani

4/5
"This is a powerful and well-told debut from Chris Gorak."  FilmFocus  Joe Utichi

2.5/4
"McCormack and Cochrane can't transcend the cliched, meandering dialogue, so Brad and Lexi's dilemma never feels like anything but a didactic contrivance."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

2.5/4
"Right at Your Door finds itself somewhat adrift."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

4/5
"With a minimal effects budget, [Gorak] still convincingly depicts a city ripped by terror and confusion."  Film Threat  Pete Vonder Haar

4/5
"McCormack and Cochrane are both amazing, giving outrageously raw performances that leave us breathless most of the time."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

B
"The poignancy of Right at Your Door lay in its real possibility in this volatile age."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

4/5
"A pretty chilling affair."  FEARnet  Scott Weinberg
