I'm not sure why everybody is so down on this movie because for what it is it isn't that bad, sure it's short and I totally got a strangers vibe from the movie but I enjoyed it because it gets right to the point and doesn't waste your time with filler. The movie is based on the Manson Family murders and the death of Sharon Tate and her friends. It doesn't give you the gory details of the murders especially poor Sharon's and her unborn child so don't come looking for over the top gore, but if your looking for a way to waste an hour and twelve minutes give this movie a try, just imagine it as strangers 2.0...or 3 or somewhere in the middle.

This movie was not released in theaters and you know why? Because the studio saw the result and decided not to waste any money in the garbage that is Wolves at the Door. If it had a theatrical release, it would have fallen like a rock at the box office week after week because word of mouth would've been terrible. Let's analyze it:PROS:The performances are good.There are some creepy shots here and there.The dialogue is not the worst thing ever thankfully.This movie is watchable, boring but watchable.CONS:Some of the attitudes of the characters are ridiculous (they see a stranger in the house and act like that's not a big deal; they know something is wrong but don't grab a knife or whatever, come on!).This movie is boring, it takes forever for something remotely interesting to happen. Seriously, 90% of this movie is people walking and wondering if something is wrong.There are countless shots of the killers walking behind the victims without them (victims) noticing it.The attempts of suspense doesn't work.The attempts of character development doesn't work, you don't care about any of these people.The recreation of the real events is poor and unfaithful. If you're interested in this case (Charles Manson's murders) you're not going to learn nothing new, different or interesting here. I learned more by reading about this case on the internet than watching the movie. The 73 minutes run time seems like 2 hours.The movie has no climax or an ending, it just stops.What happened to Sharon? I mean, I know what happened but why she just disappeared in the ending?What was the purpose of the opening scene? It's too long and absolutely unnecessary.Nothing feels organic: the period setting, the suspense, the characters, the villains, the deaths scenes, everything is completely soulless.The score is generic.The cinematography is really, really dark. Sometimes I couldn't see a damn thing.Do not watch this movie! It's a waste of money and time. Wanna watch something similar but good? Try Don't Breathe, You're Next, Martyrs (2008), Inside, High Tension, The Strangers, anything but Wolves at the Door!

Let me say very few film make me angry, but this is possibly the angriest I've been in a long time. "Wolves at the Door" gives the viewer enough "clues" to lure them into renting/buying/stealing this TURD. It is supposedly about the Charles Manson murders which took place way back in 1969 during this nation's "Summer of Love". Not only did the followers of Manson slaughter a pregnant Sharon Tate, they also wasted three more of her friends including coffee heiress Abigail Folger, and then continued their killing spree the next evening. If you are actually interested in these horrible crimes, the movie to rent is called "Helter Skelter" and Steve Railsback played the title character of Charles Manson.I don't know why this movie was made. It was pointless and as useless as a screen door on a submarine. And it does NOTHING. If you're thinking you're going to get a different POV, think again. I don't why a single cent was wasted on a movie that has nothing original to say and never really delves deep enough into its characters or story. Shame on ANYONE remotely connected to this POS. Rated R.

You know you are in a some cheese when the words "based on a true story" pop up on the screen and the entire theater laughs!!!Movie is a simple..... I want to say thriller but it was too flat to even qualify as that.Jump scare sound effects from a million years ago and the one time you see a wolf is when the sound track tries to get you into the mood about an hour in by howling and singing about red riding hood... this comes out of nowhere by the way and goes no where too.I'm not sure if this was a problem with the movie itself or the theater because the lighting in the movie was so bad that we couldn't see half of what was going on. over all the movie is a miss and way too flat to be interesting. save your money.
