Wolves at the Door

About This Movie

Wolves at the Door is quite an interesting piece, set against the backdrop of the 1969 Summer of Love—there's this eerie contrast between the vibrant era and the pure dread that unfolds. The pacing is tight, really builds that sense of impending doom as the friends settle in for what they think is a farewell party. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially as the intruders slowly reveal themselves. It has a raw, almost visceral quality to it, with practical effects that add to the unsettling nature of the film. The performances, while not overly flashy, capture that genuine terror as they fight for survival, which I think makes it distinctive in the home invasion sub-genre. There's a gritty realism that lingers after the credits roll.

Set in the late 60s, capturing the stark contrast of the era. · Effective use of practical effects enhances the horror. · Tight pacing maintains constant tension throughout.
