At The Door

About This Movie

At The Door offers a cramped, tense atmosphere that really reflects the strain of isolation. The film’s premise—a disease forcing a couple into their apartment—sets up an interesting dynamic. There’s this palpable tension between Eva and Sam, which is accentuated by their struggle to cope with not just the external threat but also their own failing relationship. The practical effects, while not the focus, certainly enhance the mounting dread. The pacing is deliberate but never drags, inviting you to really sit with the discomfort. It’s not just about the horror of the disease; it's about the horror within, which is what makes it stand out. A real exploration of human fragility, if you ask me.
