House of Wax is a unique film for the 50s and this is one time I'm reviewing a remake no not the 2005 one but the one in 1953 that was a remake of the 1933 movie Mystery of the Wax Museum but the one I saw was the 1953 one it stars Vincent Price as Henry Jarrod who runs a wax museum he treats all the wax figures as if they were real people he give a few people a tour and his partner comes in to tell him that he can make money off the insurance of the museum if he burns figures down but he doesn't and they get into a fight the reason why this fight is so memorable because it the only good its so climatic watching all the figures burning down the only thing that sucks after this scene the movie goes downhill from there Jarrod escape the burning museum and he goes around killing people with an henchman named Igor and there's a guy running around killing people we assumed that its Jarrod but we got if I reveal it the plot will get more confusing. Anyway what's really a let down is that the fight scene happens in the first part of the movie and its the only memorable plot the movie was also shown in 3D and that was a real craze at the time even though House of Wax is really good Vincent Price is a great actor and this was got him his starring role.
