Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
You know the one about the group of horny kids who get offed one by one? Yeah, so do director Jaume Collet-Serra and his screenwriters, who have updated an old Vincent Price flick and sandwiched it between hearty slices of The Blair Witch Project and various Friday the 13th films. Lots of WB and Fox network hotties--including 24's Elisha Cuthbert, One Tree Hill's Chad Michael Murray, and, well, Paris Hilton--have car trouble and stumble onto a town populated by real killer personalities. The R-rated result is fairly gruesome and, though no one ever quite looks frightened enough, Collet-Serra knows his way around a jolting suspense sequence or two. Cuthbert and an unintentionally funny Murray (striking ludicrous poses as some kind of real toughie) act more like angry ex-lovers than the fraternal twins they're supposed to be; Hilton acts bored while her real-life video scandal is exploited for ironic kicks; and the film heads shamelessly over-the-top with each new twist. As an exercise in bloody mayhem, it has a few novel touches, but you can easily find better scares. --Steve Wiecking, Amazon.com

- Great movie
House of wax is amazing and(I have yet to see the original house of wax ) I have no idea why so many people hate this movie- This movie as everything a horror fan ever wanted to see - everything I wanted to see in a horror movie, it's been one of the better Horror/Thriller films in the past few years.

I've heard a lot of people bashing the so-called slow start and character development which takes up the Films opening 30 minutes,

Yet if the film dived straight into the deaths, audiences would have criticised the film for not having decent characters that they couldn't care less about. And the character development were Brilliant

The acting in the film was absolutely fine, I couldn't fault any of them ... Read More:

- Wax 3
This is actually a remake of a remake of a remake-1933 Mystery of the Wax Museum was the original-Vincent Price's 1953 House of Wax is def the best of the three-but this is not as bad as I thought it would be-in fact it was pretty good after a slow start-can't believe they actually built a whole town in an empty field just for a movie though!

- Not for the faint hearted!!
Wowwwww.. i first watched this film at a sleepover.. Sat down watching it with my best mates and a tub of popcorn was great.. and so was the film!!

I found this film funny and hugely scary, so if your not a lover of scary movies, dont buy this! Honestly, you will never touch the dvd again! But i find this a perfect dvd for sleepovers, cuddling with hubby or just for a brill movie.

I would have also thought that Paris Hilton would have been a rubbish actress, but to be honest, not as bad as i thought.

I would advise yout though, not to let under 15's watch this film, they might get nightmares for a while.. i totally understand why it is a 15 certificate!

Grab it if you love scary films!!

- One of the best bad horror movies you'll ever see
I bought this movie in the hopes of seeing some gory deaths, and was half prepared for it to be one of those I'd only see once, then file under "B for bad". That being said, I was pleasantly suprised. House of Wax is one of those bad horror movies that turn out to be a GOOD bad horror movie. The acting is very good, as are the special effects, and there are some good scares along the way. This being a teen flick/B-movie, there are some clichés that most horror fans probably will recognise, yet they don't make the movie any less entertaining. If you're looking for some serious, 'blow-me-out-of-the-seat' horror, this isn't it. But if you want that gives a few laughs (at least for experienced horror-watchers) and some scares, I'd recommend it. As ... Read More:

- i was crying with laughter rather than in fear.
Heres some of my views on this horrific movie:

1. The whole Paris Hilton 'aka Paige' really added a lot to the movie didn't it?! Please realise my sarcasm. Honestly, what was the point in it? In fact, what was the point in her, other than to add a bit of humour when she gets a pole shoved through her head with such precision. Basically this film just reminded me that Paris Hilton cant act and she should really just stick to what she does best: nothing.

2. When the very stereotypical teens get stranded in the middle of nowhere with their good GPS system, isn't it a coincidence that they had tents? Weren't they going to a football game not a Glastonbury concert.

3. If i was to find myself in a town made totally ... Read More:
