I know I mentioned this film was a remake in my title, but I am by no means comparing it to its former because I've never seen it. I can say however that I was underwhelmed by this film overall, but it did have some good scenes. This is a mid-tier horror film for me, but I did find some enjoyment when watching, so it gets a passing grade from me.

Carly Jones (Elisha Cuthbert) and her boyfriend, Wade (Jared Padalecki) are going to the big college football game with a group of friends and her brother, Nick (Chad Michael Murray). Along the way, they get tired and look for a place to camp out for awhile and get some rest. The film has everything a horror fan like Innovative film, but the performance of Elisha was amazing, she makes the best, although the film is "notable for having some of the most idiotic protagonists ever to populate a horror movie," Cuthbert "fares the best" it is an exception. It's hard to find someone as versatile in professional life, it do well in comedies, horror, drama, romance, etc. Invite her to act in this film was the best idea, because not every actress who would do well in the role of Carly The film is hot, sexy, intensely uncomfortable and brings a delicious horror show

I don't know why this movie has so many negative reviews. Maybe it has something to do with Paris Hilton, maybe not; either way, this movie is very underrated. It is definitely one of the best horror movies I have ever seen. I'm always looking for some good horror movie to watch. I must admit, I almost always end up really disappointed after watching some horror movies. Anyways, I was at the store looking for a good horror movie to watch and then I saw House of wax on the shelves and decided to buy on DVD, even though I was sure, by looking at the cover and the title, (not to mention Paris Hilton) that it would be "just another horror movie" and another disappointment. Boy, I'm so glad I was wrong!The plot is great; it kept me wondering what was going to happen next. I liked the cast and pretty much all characters in the movie. The acting is really good; even Paris Hilton did a good acting, I might add. The death scenes are very gruesome... I hadn't seen anything like it in any other horror movie.If you are into horror movies and still haven't seen House of Wax, I highly recommend you do so. It is a great horror movie to watch, despite all the negative reviews.

Six friends are on their way to a football game, and decide to camp out for the night and continue driving the next day. The next day the friends find that they're having car troubles, so two of them accept a stranger's ride into a small town named Ambrose. The main attraction in Ambrose is the House of Wax. Except something is not right in this town, the wax figures are so realistic and the whole town is deserted - except for two murderous twin brothers. The six friends must fight to survive and escape from being the next exhibits in the House of Wax........Another remake of a famous horror by producers Zemeckis and Silver, and as expected, it's more of the same as their previous horror incarnations.We have a good looking cast of protagonists (and Paris Hilton, the stunt casting of the film), and the smouldering, rugged antagonist. And they always meet each other first, and on of the protagonists are always charmed by them.Happens in every horror remake of the last fifteen years, so it comes as no surprise that its business as usual in this movie.The main reason to watch this movie though is the product design, and like 13 Ghosts, House on Haunted Hill, and Ghost Ship,my he setting of the film is more involving than anything else happenings the film.The cast are predictably picked off one by one, there's chase after chase after chase after chase,and the gore factor is amped up for the blood thirsty teens in the audience.It's quaff-able stuff, great to look at, but give it too much thought, and you'll end up resenting yourself for watching it.
