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.

John and Mary are awakened and attacked by intruders
Abigail is cornered by intruders with a bloodstained sledgehammer
The film starts with moderate reception for its opening but steadily declines through the middle acts as critics became increasingly frustrated with its exploitative treatment of real victims
Critics found this Manson murders adaptation exploitative and disrespectful, praising some atmospheric elements and Katie Cassidy's performance but condemning its shallow treatment of real tragedy. The film was criticized for historical inaccuracies, lack of character development, and reducing actual victims to generic slasher movie fodder. Most reviewers felt it should never have been made in this form, calling it morally bankrupt despite adequate production values.
