![]() ![]() Those three deliver solid performances and they really do work well with the story. The same can be said about Elisha Cuthbert. His character, much like Hilton’s, is one of three characters that were realistic and enjoyable. This was released a few years before I became a Supernatural fan so seeing Jared Padalecki in the film meant nothing to me at the time. You know you have a goofy film when Paris Hilton’s character is the most grounded and realistic character of the film. ![]() The acting in this one isn’t bad but the character are so fucking obnoxious and unlikable. I did enjoy it some while revisiting it but I still stand by my original thoughts on the film and that it’s goofy as hell. I would say that it was loosely based on the original two films while creating a slasher with a different premise. In fact, it’s difficult to argue that it is a remake aside from being a horror film set against the back drop of a was museum. House of Wax is the second remake of Mystery of the Wax Museum and it took a different approach. They soon uncover that the town is not as it would seem and the house of wax is harboring a dangerous secret. Outside of town they have friends waiting for them who eventually make their way there looking for them. They speak with a man there who agrees to help them. They are unable to find anyone until they visit a church where a funeral was being held. They find themselves in a small secluded town that seems to be uninhabited when their car breaks down. **Spoiler Alert** The film follows a group twenty-somethings who are traveling to an event when some of them become sidetracked. The collector side of my caved in so I reached out to Scream Factory and they were kind enough to send a copy of this one my way. As a movie collector I really wanted to upgrade my DVD release but I remembered not liking the film that much. When Shout Factory announced the blu release of this one I was on the fence about it. ![]() I did snag it when it was released to add to my collection but I never really cared for it. Both of these films followed a very similar story but I wasn’t too interested in the 2005 remake starring Paris Hilton. I love the original film and the first remake from 1953 starring Vincent Price that was simply title House of Wax. When I was in high school the second remake of Mystery of the Wax Museum was big news among horror fans. ![]()
