    I don't understand the bad reviews.

    This movie is really creepy and has stuck with me for years. I don't understand why people want to hate on it. Yeah the actors aren't the greatest but it's not like horror movies are known for their amazing acting. It's good enough.

    Great Slasher!

    I wasn't expecting to much of this movie when I went into the theater but I had been waiting for it for many years. To sum it up, it was pretty damn good! Chad Michael Murray was pretty good, I thought he was going to be another Chris Flynn from Wrong Turn but I was wrong. Elisha Cuthbert was also good but the best performance has to go to Brian Van Holt. He played the bad guy too well, I mean he was sick, sadistic, and very cruel. The back story between the brothers was good, plus I liked how no killings took place until about 40 minutes into the film. It gave you time to pick the character you wanted to see live and the one you wanted to see die. Jon Abrahams was pretty good as the goofy best bud of CMM. I liked how Chad kind of cried when he found him dead, it was better then just him being like, "Whatever, my buddy is dead, who cares". It showed how he really cared. So overall, this was a darn god slasher with some great effects. Bravo!

    An underrated but very solid horror slasher flick

    House of Wax (2005) is a remake of 1953 film and in my opinion it is very solid underrated best slasher film of 2005 that come out in recent years. That is my one of my favorite slasher horror films that come out from year 2000 I am not really in to 2000's horror films, but this movie, My Bloody Valentine, The Hills Have Eyes remakes, than The Collector and of course just recently Don't Breathe horror movies that come out last year are my favorite horror films and I think they are very solid and decent good films. This film doesn't deserve the hate, people knew who Paris Hilton was, R-rated horror movies were actually being released in theaters more than they were today, and horror movies were being remade left and right.

    I love this movie it has a solid cast from actors like are Elisha Cuthbert from 24 she played Kiefer Sutherland's daughter Kim, Chad Michael Murray from One Tree Hill, Jared Padalecki from Supernatural as Sam Winchester and of course 2009 remake Friday the 13th and of course Paris Hilton my girlfriend is fan of Paris Hilton. Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra who also directed Liam Neeson my favorite film Non-Stop and of course The Shallows I like that shark flick. This movie is produced from Joel Silver and Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future)

    House of Wax a 2005 offering from producer Joel Silver (Die Hard, Demolition Man and Road House) which is obviously a remake of the classic Vincent Price classic from 1953. This version works quite well as a group of young adults find themselves stuck and the small town of Ambrose may be there only hope to find the repairs they need for the broken down car. But, the curiosity of some of the group gets the better of them as they stroll through the town and begin to disappear one by one. The mysterious and totally wack ed out town mechanic turns vile and a freakish zombie like dude begins creating his "house of wax" out of the living.

    I love this movie I watch it today and I was hooked of how good it is and I don't understand the low rating at all. I love the scenes in which Paris Hilton takes a pipe in her head that was brilliant. I love the music score by John Ottman he did a good score. I enjoy this movie I love that there are two main heroes and sole survivors Carly (Elisha Cuthbert) and Nick (Chad Michael Murray) I love the ghost town that everything is out of wax. Even all puppets are out of wax.

    Vincent (Brian Van Holt) who has Wax face mask is a creepy psycho scary killer like was Michael Myers I hate the character, but I love that this movie has a happy ending on the end. In this movie, 2005's biggest and hottest names take a trip to go see a football game until their car breaks down. They're forced to take camp at some field, and Elisha Cuthbert and Chad Michael Murray eventually stumble upon the dreaded HOUSE OF WAX. Slowly but surely, each of the teenagers that tagged along get picked off in horrifying, gruesome ways, Paris Hilton's being my favorite.

    The rating I give to this film is 8/10. Anything under 7 would be ridiculous, as anyone claiming this isn't at least a GOOD horror rated-R film one of my all time favorite I am always hooked up on this movie.

    House of Wax (originally titled Wax House, Baby) is a 2005 American-Australian horror thriller film directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and stars Elisha Cuthbert, Chad Michael Murray, Brian Van Holt, Paris Hilton and Jared Padalecki.

    Pretty Realistic, Intense Violence.

    House Of Wax is pretty much everything I like in a horror movie. The killers were creepy and freaky but not too over the top. The murders were genuine and realistic looking while the cinematography was great! 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. As you can imagine, car problems end up keeping them from getting out of their hidden campsite. Carly and Wade head for the small town of Ambrose, which seems strange on the surface.

    This is where the real action begins. While I admit that the movie took it's time getting to the good stuff, it was well worth the wait. The special effects department have outdone themselves. Especially when it comes to the house made of wax, itself.

    I was very surprised by the low rating given by the IMDb users. I should not be, but I was. Do not be fooled. If you are into horror movies, then this one comes highly recommended. In fact, it has inspired me to see the original and will do so first chance I get. 8/10

    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Director Jaume Collet-Serra insisted that practical effects be used as much as possible for the film. Visual effects were used when necessary, but sparingly.
    • Goofs
      When Carly is on the phone trying to reach Paige and Blake, Bo hits the window once without it breaking, then hits it again so it breaks. Later, when Blake is checking the voicemail, you hear the window break the first time it's hit.
    • Quotes

      Blake: [after Dalton is given a make-over] He looks like Elton John, only more gay.

      Dalton: Elton John is gay?

    • Crazy credits
      Random letters in the end credits of the movie begin to melt down from the screen as they appear. Also, some pairs of letters are joined, just like Bo and Vincent when they were born.
    • Alternate versions
      The uncut version is rated R21 in Singapore. Two scenes needed to be trimmed to secure an NC16 rating. First is the body dragging scene where the head slowly detaches itself from the torso. Next is the scene where the killer graphically removes a pole that is jammed into a female victim's head.
