<em>'Wolves at the Door'</em> is a bit of a nothing movie. Loosely attached to <em>'The Conjuring'</em> franchise, it attempts to bring unsettling characters to life across just 72 minutes. The ooncept of the antagonists is alright, but the film gives you little reason to care. Same goes for the good bunch. I could see the potential for the characters of Katie Cassidy and Elizabeth Henstridge, who are the most noteworthy onscreen performers. The male characters in this are very weak though, the 'best' is Lucas Adams - which is somewhat of an issue, given his character's fate. Unlike the previous (official) films from this series, this 2016 release is actually based upon a bonafide true story involving the Manson Family - who I knew of, I just didn't know about the case itself... how awful. I see this has received criticism as to why it even exists in this sorta form given the subject matter, which is fair. It's so short that I can't say I disliked watching it, which would be grounds for a lower rating. It's also not the worst looking film.

Recommended this by Netflix, initially I thought to myself "Oh, bet this only got made 'cause that Tarantino flick's coming out soon", but then I realised _Wolves at the Door_ is bloody three years old, so now I can't figure out why it got made at all. Nice to see Katie Cassidy and Elizabeth Henstridge in something outside of their respective superhero TV shows, but I wish it had've been in something... good. _Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._
