House of Wax Reviews

i bought this in a remainder bin. cheap thrills, i hoped and expected nothing more. i forgot paris hilton was the "star" in this movie. i almost threw it away before watching it. i'm glad i didn't.

its gotten a bad reputation for "starring" paris, but if you give it a chance its actually not bad at all. no its not great, but it is good. and you'll be thankful that paris shows up in it very little and she dies! in fact, shes the worse thing about this film. she just can't act. she delivers her lines like she does her life, blissfully ignorant of everything. here she's blissfully ignorant of acting which is a boon for the film. i imagine there's more filmed of her that got cut out. the few moments left in don't ruin the film anymore than some bad acting in a horror film infects almost all horror films. in that way its almost typical except i truly hate paris as a character of a person(let alone her acting). the character she plays in the movie is standard stuff. if it was anyone else's bad acting you wouldn't think twice about it. honestly.

over all the movie is good fun horror, about an "nearly" abandoned small town, the group of teens who stumble into it, and the horrors that await them.

not profound or new, but good none the less.
give it a chance.
