    I've had more suspense opening a can of beans to reveal the contents.... and more fun too.

    It was a 5* rating on Sky, that somehow made it worse. I guess I watched the whole thing to try and find out how it had that rating.

    What I discovered was that Sky seem to have given this the wrong title and confused it and it's rating with the 2018 movie by the name of "Fever" and not its actual title that is "Fever Mountain".

    Definitely one to miss

    Anyone who has seen "Right at your door" may have a bar, a sort of standard for those particular kinds of movies, that are meant to be claustrophobic and inside a house, where one or more main characters are hunkered down for whatever reasons they may have. In this case, we never get the full scoop, but it's not really needed.

    Some may feel it might have been a better choice to make the characters a bit more accessible, or rather friendly sort of. But that's one of the selling points of the movie. And one tough task for the actors involved. There are quite a few nice surprises along the way and the end does work for what it did set up. But pacing wise this may be too straining for some. If you get into it, it is more than decent, especially for a low budget affair

    I do love a good old virus outbreak movie, Shaun of the dead, dawn of the dead and all the other great movies out there. This game however is one of them great movies... the great movies which suck really bad! I rather watch a black screen to be honest with you.

    So, what did I watch? I watched a random guy heading to a random town, living in his relatives house or family home (I don't really care to be honest). A random girl comes into the story and that's really about it. 2 people, in a house!

    Very dull, boring and I had to switch off a hour into the movie.

    Seriously, this must be one of the worst films I've ever sat through. Terrible acting (except for the cat), and no discernible plot line.

    Somehow it got padded out to +90 minutes but it's slower than a two legged horse. Avoid like the plague.

    Not exactly a terrible film but it's not good, especially when now tv says its 5 stars clearly isn't. I'd rather watch the night eats the world again. (Infinitely better)

    I'm rarely (VERY rarely) compelled to turn a film off before its conclusion, but I couldn't make it through this one.

    Thrown right into the story with no explanation (and from other reviews I understand that doesn't change for the entirety of the movie) things go from slow to glacial as the gormless protagonist gets jumped in his own home by a hobbled woman in a gas mask then fails to fend her off multiple times.

    A stranger eats some cat food, the protagonist eats a spider after failing to open a tin of Shepard's pie... and he paints a wall.

    Those are the highlights of the film right there.

    It's almost as if they knew how unutterably dull this was and put the painting scenes in as a joke; you are quite literally watching paint dry.

    Worst of all as others have mentioned, Sky have this listed as a 4.5 - 5 star!
