HOME
 HOUSE
OF
WAX
With Elisha Cuthbert, Chad Michael Murray, Brian Van Holt, Jared Padalecki, Paris Hilton Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra The horror remake barrage keeps a comin'. With pretty much just the knocking off technique of encasing victims in hot wax being the only similarity with the Vincent Price original from 1953, the makers went for a mood and tone reflected in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. A bunch of teens on their way to a football game camp out in the woods. In the night one of their cars are sabotaged. They meet up with a hick who drives two of them to the nearby town - the rest of them heading to the game. But traffic has them turning back. In this semi-deserted town they find a house of wax. Soon the killers are on their trail, eager to turn them into eerie wax exhibits. With some cruel, bloody moments and creative deaths, the film plods through cheap scares with the odd cool scene. The melting wax building finale is the highlight, besides annoying bimbo Paris Hilton getting a pole through the head - I was surprise it didn't just slip through the existing hole she already has there! 2 / B - PB 1 2 3 4 5 6 A - B - C |
