Features Of The DVD-
B-Roll and Bloopers Video Cast Commentary. From Location: Joel Silver Reveals House of Wax. Wax On: The Design of House of Wax. House Built on Wax. Alternate Open: Jennifer Killed. (whos is she?) Gag Reel. Theatrical Trailer. Video cast commentary is very good,recommend that out of anything else. Personally-
OK,so most of the cast were clearly chosen on what they looked like on how famous they were,rather than their actual acting ability,but i think the fact they are all so good looking adds to the film. Remake of the Vincent Price classic. This film is Jaume Collet-Serra's first, so i think hes done pretty well,not bad compared to the movie 'Just Like Heaven' where you can see cameras and sound things and everything in the shots,ha ha ha! Well, the main idea of this film is [[SPOLIERS!!!!!]] that a group of teenagers are on their way to a football match but it starts to get dark so they camp out in the middle of nowhere basically. Their car is tampered with during the night and it doesnt work so a few stay behind and discover the wax town, with only two living people,who incidentally kill everyone and cover them with wax for display, and everyone else is propped up to look pretty, well as pretty as you can when your dead and covered in wax by a scary person. They all die in the end apart from elisha cuthbert and Chad Michael Murray(yum!),and are made into wax people,to be added to the wax town. The film has quite some gruesome bits,maybe not ideal for family viewing,but great for couples to snuggle up to each other!! The scary bit at the end is where the house has burned down,and they remember there were 3 of these scary brothers,though they only met two,and then you see a clip of the guy who showed them the wax town in the first place,and you realise hes the other brother.
Price etc! £5-£10 in virgin/zavvi and HMV,or go to play.com, its been out for a while so is quite cheap. Happy Watching!
Paris Hiltons death is the best bit, a big spear right through her forhead, looks a bit fake if you ask me!
P.S.,My Chemical Romance's 'Ghost Of You' plays at the end.love the song!
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
Although you've stated 'spoilers' it would be a good idea to remove anything to do with the ending as people read reviews to get an idea of what the film is like, they can't do that with this review as it will definitely spoil it for them knowing how it ends. :-)
