DVD Pick of the Week: Right at Your Door

Written by Chris Beaumont
Published January 29, 2008

It's Tuesday. Do you know what that means? That is correct! It is time for another DVD Pick of the Week! That was your guess, right? Whatever. I have gone over the list of releases and have carefully selected those that I was interested in saying something about, although there is the distinct possibility that I may have skipped over one or two good ones. This week proved to be considerably stronger than the past few, even if there wasn't that one killer title that screamed out to be the number one release of the week. Still, I did not have all that much trouble selecting the week's top pick, plus it has the distinction of being the type of choice I have not made since way back in July.

What makes this week's choice so different from the past six months worth of choices? Well, it is a movie that I have not seen and do not know all that much about. It is rare that I choose a title that I have not seen. Seriously, how am I to know if the movie is worth spending time with if I haven't have the opportunity to experience it? It is a bit of a crapshoot whether or not it will be worthy or not, but hey, need to take a chance every once in awhile, right?

Enough with the suspense, this week's choice is Right at Your Door. It is a low budget apocalyptic thriller that never got a wide release. I remember seeing the poster with the guy in the radiation suit in front of the Hollywood sign with snow-type stuff falling, and then seeing the trailer and just getting this feeling of excitement. I found it hard to not be interested in the movie. Of course, I have not taken much time to read up on it, hoping that when I do see it I will be as fresh as possible.

Take a look at the trailer:

If you watched the trailer, you will have found a movie that induces paranoia when dirty bombs go off in LA. A man is ordered to his home to seal it up to the best of his ability. After finishing that, his wife shows up, returning from her job and he refuses to let her in for fear of becoming contaminated. Plus, the help does not appear to be all that helpful.
