Chances are you missed a scary little indie film called Right At Your Door when it came out in theaters last summer. That's because it got only a very limited release and had the unfortunate fate of being blown out of the water by all of the bigger, splashier studio films that tend to clog theaters in the hot-weather months.

Thank goodness for DVD then because you won't want to miss this one. The West Wing's Mary McCormack and CSI: Miami's Rory Cochrane play a pair of Los Angeles newlyweds, who at the beginning of the film are puttering around their unpacked new house getting ready to head off to work. Still sleepy and rushed for time, they part expecting to see each other again at the end of the day. But then something happens.

Bringing all of the anxiety and dread of 9/11 back in a flooding rush, L.A. is attacked by terrorists. Cochrane who's still at home tries to get in touch with his wife, but can't. Cell phones aren't working. And since they've just moved in, the cable isn't hooked up, so all he has to get whatever news he can is the radio. And all that they're reporting is that a dirty bomb or something like it was set off and the air around the city is toxic. All windows should be sealed. All doors closed.

Cochrane jumps into his car to try to find his wife, but the streets are closed off by men in hazmat suits. So he returns home waiting for his wife. When she finally shows up, coughing and covered in ash, he has a decision to make. Does he let her in and expose himself to whatever is in the air, or keep her locked out? The answer seems obvious. Or does it? Right at Your Door is a harrowing film that will keep you on the edge of your seat right up until its Twilight Zone-inspired twist ending.

It makes the typical episode of 24 look like a Saturday morning cartoon.
