Review of House of Wax (2005) by Melanie-Ann D — 28 Dec 2010
One of the better slasher remakes of late. Much better than "Chainsaw Massacre" and better acting than "Black Christmas". With a gorgeous cast and witty script, "House of Wax" doesn't disappoint.
The young good looking cast act well together, Elisha Cuthbert and Chad Michael Murray headlining but no one really stretches their acting wings. The frights start early and the gore escalates but doesn't become too quease-inducing.
The cinematography is effective and the special effects scarily realistic. The best thing about "House of Wax" is that it doesn't take itself seriously and has its tongue firmly in its cheek throughout.
A fun date movie and Paris isn't THAT bad.
