Meh, thats really about it. House of Wax didnt particularly suck, but it just wasnt all that enthralling, among other things. It had the potential to be somewhat interesting when the story gets to the town, but it bobbles the explaination, and ends up being underdeveloped and vauge. I havent found myself cheering for the villian in a while, but I was on the long haired twin's side all the way. "Vincent" does almost all the killing, and he's your typical slasher long haired silent type, and I always thought that was cool as shit. The flick isnt particularly gruesome, its a light R, but it does throw down some excellent kills, which all in all turn out to be the best part of the movie. And yes PARIS HILTON DIES. Quite niceley as well, she gets impaled throught the face with a big ass pipe that just so happens to have a sharp end. And god almighty is she bad at acting, SO BAD. And i'm not saying that because I hate her emmensley either, I gave her a chance. A chance that was dead and gone in the first five minutes, bitch should stay out of the business. Elisha Cuthbert is vastly better looking, and a vastly better actress. Chad Michael Murray seems like a decent guy, and his character is the typical smart alick hardass. Basically, you folks have seen this all before, theres not a lot of newness or creativity to be found in House of Wax. It certainley got a whole helluva lot better during it's second half, things started moving alittle quicker and I actually started enyoing myself. But, it doesnt make due on the potential it had, maybe an un-edited cut will maximize on that. And seriously, the whole 3rd brother thing, BULLSHIT, horribley done. House of Wax was alittle better then I expected, but not exactly phenominal. (but really though, my only huge problem is Paris Hilton). If your looking for some decent horror at the cinema at the moment , check out the amityville horror remake instead, or just wait around for High Tension.==
