House of Wax features a cast apparently chosen from their headshots rather than any particular ability or connection to the material. Loosely remade from the Vincent Price classic, Paris Hilton herself says this film's major improvement is that "The original didn't really have a hot cast." Says it all really !! Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, This is his 1st film that he has done. In my opinion he's done a good job.

The main plot is a group of teenagers on a road trip to go see a football game the next game. Of course they have to camp out in the middle of know where. This is when strange things happen. Though I would have like to have seen more strange things happen. Like kill Paris off in the 1st few minutes would have been nice.

Of course with most teen horror the car breaks down and of course they have to go and find a garage. This is when they come across a very strange and quiet town. There is one person about and another 2 hidden but that is it. This is when they come across the garage owner that is in the church who they think is at a funeral !! So off they go to explore until he's done. Little by little they start to realise that the town is full of dead people that are covered in wax and placed in a display from house to shops to the church. Creating a wax museum. One by one the friends are picked off to be relived their own wax density. With a few extra twists along the way.


The best bits of the film for me personally are when Paris gets a spike through the head. Another bit where the other girl has her mouth super glued together. Classic !!

Price & Where To Buy.


We brought ours from play.com when they had a sale one and only paid around £5 for it. Most places do sell this one and it is certainly widely available


My Thoughts.

Well personally once Paris Hilton was killed off the film was good. I did like it and have and would watch it time and time again. Though I can't see myself going to Madame Tussauds in London anytime soon.

The way the film was created is quite something. Everything from the House of wax to the church so the houses was amazing to see and watch. The effect when the House Of Wax was burring was also quite something.

Worth while giving it a watch and the extras are quite good also.
