Wolves at the Door

Here we go again, what is wrong with horror film makers these days? This time they had a good idea but done badly, I won't say very badly because the acting was pretty good. How can they make a film about a very famous murder and make it almost bloodless. Most of the killings are out of focus,I.e. you see one killing reflected off an off television set. Then others you don't see the impact of a killing. I was looking forward to this film as a few of the write ups have been good but alas more lies. If you want to watch a better film in a similar vein, then watch Your Next.

This movie is based on a horrific real life tragedy; the Tate murders. I think, one of the hardest things to do, is to make an adaptation of real life events. I don't know if this killing spree even needs a dramatization, but I'm sure it doesn't need one, that uses all the bad clichés and style elements of the tired genre of the slasher film. This movie tries to depict the horror of that night, but in a very irritating manner. I felt frustrated throughout by the very bad direction and the lack of respect for the subject. The bad rating is justified.

"Wolves at the Door" is a boring and shallow slasher with no storyline or character development. The screenplay instead of build tension, is boredom.

In 1969 in California, a family is disturbed by a group that breaks in their house. Later four friends celebrate the farewell of one of them to Boston. Out of the blue, two men and two women break in their compound and they are murdered, one by one. Who are they, killers and victims? The viewer will learn in the beginning of the credits only. Don't waste your time watching this flick is the best anyone can do. My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

Don't waste your time. 70min of my life I'll never get back. Horrible "true story" adaption. Like others said, no plot or any build up. If it wasn't for the hints to it being about the manson family murders it's nothing more than people getting killed and a sad attempt at "jump scares"...Even with them tying it to the Manson family it gave nothing to this movie. If I could give 0 stars I would because it's not even worthy of the 1 it forces me to give.

One can only hope this was made by a first year film student, and not someone who's been in the business for a while. From the opening factual error , stating the events took place in "1969, the summer of love" (was this written by a millennial kid who had no idea of 1967?) I knew I was in for a stinker. I get the feeling the writer/director saw The Strangers with Liv Tyler and said "yeah, we're gonna make something like that, only BETTER!!"..with any luck, they've since left the film industry.
