bradleygranz House of wax is a horror film about two serial killers i its a better good a movie good soundtrack in this movie its worth to watch in my book
GL84 Traveling together for a road trip to a football game, a group of friends stumble upon a small, demented town home to maniacal, murderous twins entombing victims in the town's wax museum and must find away to stop them and get away alive.This was a highly enjoyable if only slightly flawed effort. One of the better elements here to this one is the absolutely amazing and breathtaking work done on the set for the titular museum, for there's a lot of time there and it truly lives up to the title with everything made of wax, from the sculptures and figures to the decorations around the rooms and even the building itself which is quite an impressive look throughout here. The eeriness of that look comes from the chilling tactic of encompassing the victim completely in wax which creatures a marvelous look that comes off well here as well as being responsible for several of the film's most eerie and chilling scenes here. The most impressive is the wax-shower contraption which covers the entire body, and a later scene where the stumble upon an encrusted victim and begin peeling it away only to rip chunks of flesh off instead which is insanely chilling. What makes it all the better is the connection to the stalking and slashing here, allowing for the church scene where she first comes across their macabre intentions while hiding from one of the maniacs, a chase amongst the statues at the museum down into the basement and a frantic encounter in the movie theater sitting amongst the rows of statues trying to remain undetected as he stalks them which is a really eerie series of scenes here. The other big slasher scenes here are a lot of fun when it goes into the abandoned factory after the lone girl or the early chases through the town's streets which are quite fun, though really can't compare to the finale in the museum as the fine melting wax provides a fantastic base for the fine brawling and chasing amongst the flaming walls as the chase to get out is a fantastic action scene. Along with the creepy-looking killers and some solid gore, there's enough here to old this off from the few small flaws here. The biggest issue here is the clichéd and uninteresting background for the killers which is just so underwhelming being such a commonly utilized story that it doesn't really impress at all. There's also the lengthy amount of time it takes getting going being stuck with this unlikely group of friends doing nothing of interest for an incredibly long time which does wear thin here. These here are the film's only flaws.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and brief scenes with dead animals.
Lucas Henrique Carly Jones (Elisha Cuthbert) and her boyfriend, Wade (Jared Padalecki) are going to the big college football game with a group of friends and her brother, Nick (Chad Michael Murray). Along the way, they get tired and look for a place to camp out for awhile and get some rest. The film has everything a horror fan like Innovative film, but the performance of Elisha was amazing, she makes the best, although the film is "notable for having some of the most idiotic protagonists ever to populate a horror movie," Cuthbert "fares the best" it is an exception. It's hard to find someone as versatile in professional life, it do well in comedies, horror, drama, romance, etc. Invite her to act in this film was the best idea, because not every actress who would do well in the role of Carly The film is hot, sexy, intensely uncomfortable and brings a delicious horror show
Python Hyena House of Wax (2005): Dir: Jaume Collet-Serra / Cast: Chad Michael Murray, Elisha Cuthbert, Jared Padalecki, Paris Hilton, Jon Abrahams: Numbingly stupid horror film where every character splits up and winds up dead. This is a remake of the Vincent Price classic only this time the emphasis is on various methods of death. Six college kids head for the big football game but pull over for a night of sex and drinking. They are startled by an ominous truck then wake up to tampered vehicles. From there they encounter a town highlighted by a wax museum where its inhabitants look a little too real. Standard plot follows formula until reaching a violent climax. Director Jaume Collet-Serra is aided by great visual images including the massive wax house, but the characters exist to be tortured and murdered for entertainment. Airhead characters played by Chad Michael Murray, Elisha Cuthbert, Jared Padalecki, and Paris Hilton. They run, scream and die horribly and that unfortunately seems to be the point. Hilton seems to be the marketing ticket but that hardly makes up for the fact that she isn't in the entire running time. Technically well made horror mess with a screenplay that should have been burned long before these meat head college brats decided to inhabit it and die. This is an example of what is wrong with many of the more recent horror films. This one should be drenched in hot wax. Score: 2 / 10
