House of Wax 2005 🔥

House of Wax is a interesting movie. I love horror movies of all kinds. This classic setting is really cool. I'm not a Paris Hilton fan she is not much of a actress but thankfully she is killed off and the real actress Elisha Cuthbert does a fantastic job. Jared Padalecki of Supernatural is also in this film. This movie is definitely worth trying out.Lire l'avis complet...

NOT JUST House of Wax IT'S A TOWN OF WAX WOW!

From the renowned Horror producers Joel Silver and Robert Zemeckis who brought you (House on Haunted Hill, Ghost Ship, Gothika), comes a new idea in film, or not. Even though House of Wax was a movie earlier done with Vincent Price, this movie easily dwarfs any other production of its kind. Directed by Jaume Collett-Serra literally poured his soul into this production. Thousands of man-hours were involved in make-up, masks, set design, special effects, and re-colorization as well as an entire town built especially for the set, the backdrop for this film was an enormous undertaking.

Back in 2005, I never really had time to go and see this movie in the theater and somehow, I never got to see this until Spring 2009. The concept of having psycho killers who entomb their victims in wax within a precepts of a wax museum is bizarre yet worked well in the earlier film. Vincent Price's film was quite good since he also in the film had a hideous face hidden by a wax made mask. Vincent was honored in this movie by the use of his name as you will soon notice when you watch or re-watch this movie.

Little does anyone know that these six college friends were going to stumble into such terror. Even with Paris Hilton in the film, it turned out really good. Most of the characters in this movie I really didn't relate to, but that should really matter much, except that it helps when you feel more apt to care about what happens to them.

We find that even though Elisha Cuthbert is 5'3" is too short for her acting counterparts, they put wooden blocks on her feet to bring her up to the 7'3" dude that goes into town with the local guy to get a fan belt.

The fire and melting scenes were totally awesome and why wouldn't it be since the entire house was supposedly made from wax. The gore and violence was a bit too much sometime for me to stomach, but I guess that's expected if you want a film to be totally creepy.

Siamese twins gone wrong in a Ghost Town? Wow, you wouldn't have ever guessed this in a thousand years. You would have guessed that all the people where set-up dead wax figures either. This dummy town would have been perfect for the army testing grounds for a nuclear detonation. Ha.

Critically speaking, I never really could figure out why they had taken the alternate beginning scene out of the movie. This one scene where a friends car breaks down and she winds up calling a wrecker and the wrecker man kills her.

Later in the film Elisha Cuthbert's character gets her forefinger snipped off by one of the twins. She didn't really scream much and she didn't really later act like she was in pain or panting hard or looking to anxious or afraid. So hopefully next movie they will take their cues on better believability.

Another things that I kept asking myself was how did the twins get power from the power grid? Anyway, I'd only make one more change. The roadkill guy should have been driving the ambulance.

5/5 GUYS. BUY AND WATCH TWICE AND CHECK OUT THE SPECIAL FEATURE GAGS AND COMMENTARIES AS WELL.

Under-rated Horror Film

This film is such a satisfying horror film - it has a fabulous 'back story' and the ending has to be seen to be believed and marvelled at properly. Highly recommended.

House Of Wax 2005 : Flawed But Good Fun

Decent film not the best remake but enjoyable cliched fun. Some of the characters are bland and annoying, so you have no sympathy when it's their turn to die. There are some genuine creepy moments though so don't let the flaws draw you away from this film. 3/5Lire l'avis complet...

Very decent film.

I liked it. Mainly watched it for Elisha Cuthbert and she was terrific! I found it to be lots of fun and totally freaky in some parts, especially concerning the whole deserted town and the creepy wax museum. The story of the two twin brothers was also interesting. Sure, some people dislike the film because of Paris Hilton (and not just her performance) but I think it sells the movie short for what it really is when you just base it on her, it's not really fair. It's for sure a good Halloween movie. Rent it first if you're still undecided.Lire l'avis complet...

House of wax (2005,DVD) GREAT!

I really like horror films and this one made me jump. That is a plus for me cause not many movies can cetch me off guard. lol that is about the jest of it all really. The quality is ok also. It can be a cheap movie or and expensive movie and still suck, but it is actually the actors that can make this what it needs to be to rate high. Though I agree that if they use fake blood that actually looks fake that takes from a movie but you have to really look at the whole picture and see it as a whole to get a good review with an honest opinion of it.All in all I'd say it is a good movie to buy if you are looking for that bump in the night that almost makes you soil your pants lol.

Thanks :)Lire l'avis complet...

House of Wax - Don't listen to the reviews, its Solid!

Enough with the critics ripping House of Wax to shreds. Sure - House of Wax isn't an Oscar worthy movie... but who watches it expecting that?! When you go to a movie, you want entertainment right? Well House of Wax was entertaining enough that I saw it in the theaters TWICE. House of Wax has a great plot (especially if you never saw that original) and has enough thrills and twists that its wildly suspenseful, interesting and edge-of-the-seat intense. The cast is pretty solid - a lot of middle-of-the-road pop stars. But in the end, House of Wax is a house-full of fun. Guarantee you will enjoy it:

Producer: Joel Silver, Robert Zemeckis, Susan Levin

House of Wax...good Halloween movie

I never saw the original movie, but this one was pretty good. The special effects were awesome! Although some scary movie "don't's" were broken early on, (like always have shoes on when you go outside to investigate a creepy sound), the movie handled predictable situations in a way that still gave you a little jump. This isn't meant to be the ultimate scary movie experience (after all Paris Hilton is in it), but it would be a good flick for a Halloween get-together.

Happy Halloween!Lire l'avis complet...
