You know the one about the group of horny kids who get offed one by
one? Yeah, so do director Jaume Collet-Serra and his screenwriters, who
have updated an old Vincent Price flick and sandwiched it between hearty
slices of The Blair Witch Project and various Friday the 13th films. Lots of
WB and Fox network hotties--including 24s Elisha Cuthbert, One Tree Hills
Chad Michael Murray, and, well, Paris Hilton--have car trouble and
stumble onto a town populated by real killer personalities. The R-rated
result is fairly gruesome and, though no one ever quite looks frightened
enough, Collet-Serra knows his way around a jolting suspense sequence
or two. Cuthbert and an unintentionally funny Murray (striking ludicrous
poses as some kind of real toughie) act more like angry ex-lovers than the
fraternal twins theyre supposed to be; Hilton acts bored while her real-life
video scandal is exploited for ironic kicks; and the film heads shamelessly
over-the-top with each new twist. As an exercise in bloody mayhem, it has
a few novel touches, but you can easily find better scares. --Steve

Ive noticed a new trend in the newest horror movies lately where things
seem to have gone back to nothing gorey happening until half way through
the movie, like they did 20 or 30 years ago. It is like this in House of Wax.
Im not sure whether I like this new development or not but it works with
House of Wax.
It starts off with a theme that many other horrors movies have used; a
group of teenaged friends have car trouble in the middle of nowhere, half
of the friends stay at the car and the other half go to a nearby deserted
town in search of help.
This is a slasher movie that kills the charactors in origional ways,
sometimes involving wax and I was impressed with how gorey this movie
was for a fifteen.
Impressive slasher movie with plenty of gore and a good ending. And,
come on, who doesnt love it when Paris Hilton gets killed? :P.
