The premise

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.

Horror Vault's take

Set against the sun-drenched optimism of 1969's Summer of Love, Wolves at the Door trades peace-and-love idealism for pure dread when four friends celebrating at a lavish California home become the targets of uninvited, merciless strangers. Inspired by one of history's most notorious real-life crimes, the film traps its characters in an escalating nightmare where nowhere inside the house feels safe. Director John R. Leonetti wrings suffocating tension from the slow-burn cat-and-mouse as the intruders methodically close in, turning a farewell gathering into a fight for survival.
