Wolves at the Door (2016)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I have read numerous reviews here that would have you think this is a bad movie. Hardly the case. I recommend that if you have not seen it, you close this window right now and go watch it. Its best if you don't know what's happening, and you probably don't. Okay here begins the spoilers. The story of the Manson murders in California have been branded indelibly into the collective unconscious by media. We have all heard of them. Truth is, most people ignore the horror that surrounded this ghastly crime. We're desensitized...num...and treat it like an old worn out joke, that is so predictable, that it has lost its impact. Don't fall for the reviews of people who have been rolling this story around in their heads, long after the expiration date has been exceeded. Instead, try and watch it fresh. If successful, you may be in for a treat. It is well acted, well scripted, and has some real camera gems. Ignore the negativity that has become the hallmark of the online reviewer. Enjoy.

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.

I heard lots of aggressive criticism of this film from all critics I looked at, however being a big horror fan, and finding both the Manson family and the 60's in general interesting I decided to check this out. The opening scene smashed the conventions of a standard horror immediately by not having someone killed. Instead we see a middle aged couple harassed by the Manson family, but despite some inappropriate messages being written on their house walls in a red substance, the couple are saved by the boys in blue, who respond to their call quickly.We then are introduced to our main characters, who get together at a house in pursuit of not being brutally murdered, much to their disappointment.The film is well produced and well shot. There is one very scary moment in the middle. No background is given to the Manson family during the film which I found annoying but the soundtrack is decent, with lots of 60's tunes, including 'Shes not there' by the Zombies.Also, the film is very short, which I really liked.If you want a nice short horror movie then this will just about do the job.

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.
