DVD: The House Of Wax


What a load of old rubbish! Apart from the special wax effects and the wonderful demise of Paris Hilton, this was as enjoyable as a limp banana. Why do these people have to remake old classics and then add a mixture of bad dialogue, gruesome murders and dreadful acting? The guy from the fabulous Television series 'Supernatural' is in this and I think it was a bad decision on his part. One he should forget rather quickly. He was the only one of the cast who got waxed alive in the end, and he ended up melted. In fact the whole film melted. Who on earth let Paris Hilton in on the act for heaven's sake? The girl can't act to save her life (which she failed to do in this film) and the only part that she did with any conviction was wander around in her underwear, something she is used to doing in real life I expect.
The actual House Of Wax was quite brilliant though, everything was made of wax, the walls, ceilings, beds, food, stairs etc. and when the house went up in flames the actual melting was quite good. It was all real too, lots of artists had sat for days making all this stuff and then it got burned into a pile of goo!
Apart from that it was poop.

Score Board: 3/10 Avoid unless you want to see Paris in her smalls.
