The next morning Wade has a few car troubles and decides to walk to the local town to find a garage while his friends carry on with thier plans to go to the football game. His girlfriends stays with him and they go on to the village. The others, after missing half of the game due to traffic decide to go back to collect Wade and Carly. Then One by one they begin falling pray to two murderous wax sculpters.
Although this film is quite gory I loved it! It is one of the best horror films I've ever seen. It wasn't greatly scary but an enjoyable chase with a few twists in the plot.
The cast is great too. I expected Paris Hilton's acting to be slightly dry but I thought she did great along with Chad Michael Murray.
I bought this film for about £14.50 at HMV when it first came out so I'm sure it has been reduced by now.
The special features are good too, they include Gag reels, bloopers and designing of the set etc.
I recommend this film to people who enjoy horror films but not those with a weak stomach.

Unfortunately, this is the category for the 1953 version, not the more recent version. Once this gets moved, let me know and I'll re-rate.
