Approximately 30 years ago, I watched a horror movie which I have been trying to identify for years. The problem is that after so many years I don't remember a lot about the movie and the only things I remember are blurred by time.
Here are the details that I do remember:
The movie was about a group of people staying in a house (I think they were a group of friends who gathered in the house, but this I cannot confirm).
There are some strange creatures (I remember them as a kind of small big-headed humanoids) which crawl out of the house's fireplace and attack the house inhabitants; in fact, I seem to remember that the creatures will wait for some person to be isolated from the others and then they will capture this person and drag him/her back to the fireplace, and kill him/her.
Does anyone know what movie this is?

I think you are talking about Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, but this just has a couple moving into a house - not exactly a group of friends.
However, the fireplace and the big headed creatures remind me of this. Here is the trailer in which the trolls turn up in the end:

When did the silence come out?
DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK is based on the 1973 ABC telemovie of the same name; a movie that forever changed a very young Guillermo del Toro, imbuing him with a love of horror and fear of things that go bump in the night.New Orleans Man SEES Strange CREATURE

Answer 2
It sounds like the 1973 made for television movie Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. A couple move into an old house that she inherited. In the basement is a fireplace that has a metal door bolted over it. When she removes it, she freed the creatures locked inside. They came after her in the shower, but when she turned on the light, they fled. But they do come back. Won't spoil it any more than that.
A trailer can be seen here and here is a blog post describing the movie and the 2011 remake, including a few more pictures.
