Wolves at the Door
Four friends gather at an elegant home during the Summer of Love, 1969. Unbeknownst to them, deadly visitors are waiting outside. What begins as a simple farewell party turns to a night of primal terror as the intruders stalk and torment the four, who struggle for their lives against what appears to be a senseless attack.
Why it matters
A stripped-down home invasion thriller that leans hard on 1969’s Summer of Love backdrop but struggles to deliver lasting tension.
- Katie Cassidy and Elizabeth Henstridge provide the film’s rare moments of genuine presence amid thin character work.
- The period setting offers atmospheric potential, but the script fails to build on the cultural unease of the era.
- Minimal gore and practical effects keep it grounded, though the horror stakes never quite escalate convincingly.
- For fans of slow-burn true crime-inspired fright, it’s a modest curiosity rather than a standout entry.
