Nonureva Really Surprised!

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Java_Joe Picture a movie theater in the year 2005. You're seeing a remake of a sort-of classic horror movie but made with a bunch of young and kinda attractive people. I guess it's a little like the OC, a show at the time.It's not a good movie but then something glorious happens. A scene that will live forever as people's favorite scene in this pile of whatever it is. And that's Paris Hilton dies. This was actually a selling point for the movie. There were promotional t-shirts made saying, "Come see Paris die". And that's the scene. The rest of the movie is uninspired junk with stupid people, acting stupid in stupid situations that would never happen. So come for seeing Paris die. And that's it.

Kim Heniadis After watching #Horror, I needed to watch something good, so I was flipping around Netflix, and saw that Jared Padalecki was in this one. I had watched it when it first came out on DVD, but I didn't remember him being in it at all. I enjoy Supernatural, and remembered that I liked this movie, so I gave it another watch. There is something really creepy about wax museums, at least to me. I watched Waxwork when I was a teenager, and it was one of the horror movies that has really stuck with me. While that one had the displays come alive, House of Wax just has crazy people encasing people in wax. No, nothing disturbing about that at all.Even as a second watch, and knowing the premise of the movie, I still enjoyed it. I do remember when I saw it the first time I enjoyed the twist ¾ through the movie, and right at the end. How it ends did lend itself to a sequel, although it would have to be in a different museum. House of Wax includes all the goodies that one looks for in a slasher; lots of people getting killed in weird ways, gratuitous sex scenes, and a crazy psycho that slowly stalks his victims, but still manages to catch up to them. I also got a bit of a Psycho (the movie) vibe off of this one. I think with the quiet, creepiness of the town, and the woman who peeks out the window.

jessegehrig As I write this I am also watching this movie- real time, motherf*ckers! Some of the characters in this movie have SEX! Sex is what animals do for biological reason. Sex is what people do for : money, cocaine, ego support, to get back at a parent or parents, boredom, because it's socialized behavior, because of a sexual assault from the past and the trauma of that event has yet to be fully processed and dealt with, also some humans have sex to share intimacy, whatever intimacy is in the Age Of Social Media. Yes, bald apes slapping their genitals together in mindless fury, with cycles of abuse and incest to be repeated generation after generation, sounds like a great plan to me, House of Wax.

Davis P At first, when I saw the name Paris Hilton, I wasn't too sure about House Of Wax (2005). But I decided to give it a fair shot anyways, and I'm glad I did. House Of Wax was actually an entertaining well made horror film. The plot was cool and intriguing. The actors were well casted, and I enjoyed all the characters and the actors playing them did a good job, yes, even Paris Hilton did a pretty good job. The movie was never boring, it always kept you interested and on the edge of your seat. The violence was a bit too graphic at times, but overall it wasn't that bad, other horrors have been far worse when it comes to carnage. Now it's not like the movie was flawless, it did have some flaws. The acting in a few scenes was kinda lackluster, could have been better if they would've just tried again I'm sure. I know a lot of people thought Paris Hilton was going to just be terrible in this movie, in my own personal opinion, I actually thought she did pretty good In her own respective role. She did get to dance around in her lingerie in 1 scene, so you straight guys out there, there you go. For the ladies and gay guys, do not despair, there is definite eye candy for you as well. Chad Michael Murray is one of the main stars here, who actually acts well and looks hot in his role at the same time, hard to find in a horror movie! So does Jared Padalecki, he does well in his role, and looks good doing it. This movie is just a good time for horror movie fans. It's not poorly made or cliché, or cheesily acted. 7/10 for house of wax.
