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 — a post-9/11 nightmare about terrorism, panic, and paranoia with real, waking-life implications. The time is now, the setting is the nothing-special new home of a young married couple in the hills of Los Angeles, where Lexi (Mary McCormack), a corporate type, kisses her stay-at-home musician husband, Brad (Rory Cochrane), goodbye and joins the city's commuting thousands. She forgot to charge her cell phone? Ah, well, who hasn't from time to time?
Then, in probable places like Beverly Hills, downtown, LAX, dirty bombs go off — those insidious weapons of destruction we now know to fear, localized but lingering in toxicity as chemical death travels through the ashy air. Lexi is out there and incommunicado; Brad is at home, frantic and thwarted from searching for his wife by the cops barring civilians from the roads. Eventually he follows emergency-broadcast instructions to seal himself inside and avoid contact with anyone exposed to the dirty dust. But then Lexi does show up, coughing and vomiting. And choices have to be made. What would you do?

It is too bad this film uses this cheap morality dilemma plot instead of looking into the real problems that such an attack would bring.
What would you do if LA was hit by dirty bombs and your wife was trapped outside . . .
Is this one of those tests to figure out if you are a psycopath? Like the woman that goes to her mother’s funeral and meets the man of her dreams. He leaves before she can get his number. The next week she kills her sister. Why?
(psycopaths apparently get the right answer per tests conducted in prisons . . . she wanted to meet the man again and hoped he would come to the sisters funeral).
What would you do if a dirty bomb hit and your wife was outside? You would let her in and hope you live.
Ack.
I think the implication in the movie is that it’s not just a radiological attack, but possibly biological.
Do they hint at who sets off the dirty bomb in the movie... perhaps one of those terrorist Amish?
“...possibly biological.”
Perhaps so but dirty bombs are typically expected to produce radiological dust. The trouble with Bio is it is more fragile and even if one small vile can infect thousands it is no easy matter to distribute it to those thousands. Usually confined indoor places would be more suitable. Water supplies that are stored and then travel to the victims via pipes are not exactly easy targets because the sheer volume of water and the time involved can break down many toxins and biological elements.
Hmmm...
De-contaminate her. The real problem would be if she had ingested or inhaled any material.
I would just pinch myself and be rid of the nightmare.
For me, it could be nothing else!
Utterly ridiculous.
I’m persoanally more excited to see “The Kingdom”. A shoot em up in Suadi Arabia. Good guys vs bad guy islamists.
