Change the name to Tourist Trap. Its plot it's a little bit more similar to that movie than this. In fact go watch that movie instead. Heck Joe Bob Briggs plays it on Shudder. If Shudder and this review is still around in the future. Tourist Trap has Chuck Connors(The Rifle Man)in that one which I checked out back in July of this year. (2018 if this is still on here years later). That movie is bizarre and has an even better story. It came out in 1979. Directed by David Schmoller it stars Connors and a young Tanya Roberts (Beastmaster and That 70s Show). 4 friends set out to look for their missing friend who supposed to get a flat tire patched of his car and wind up at the place and that's where the fun really begins. Great movie great score. 4 Stars.

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.

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.

I heard about this film from when I was 11 back in '05. Though I was too young to watch it & not a horror guru I never let on it until now. I bought this film from Hmv last year & never got round to watching it though it still kept luring me into watching it & I did!The film was truly great & very underrated by pompous critics! The story starts in 1974 with a mum making a wax model in the kitchen while her twin son is eating breakfast, her other son who is volatile get's strapped to a chair & smacked, in 2005, a group of friend on the way to a football game & camp out in the wood near a forgotten town made out of wax & anamatronics! They then get side tracked when on of their cars get damaged by a mysterious man in a pick up truck the night before & stumble across the town that is like that of a 1950's Atom Bomb test zone!They then come across 'The House Of Wax' Muse m & as usual like with any other horror film (which ain't bad) venture in & get picked off 1 by 1 by Vincent Sinclair. It is revealed they were conjoined twins & Vincent was the one who got the worse as part of his face is disfigured while his brother isn't. The film was pretty epic for kills & chills! It was gory too & had a great showdown at the end! The house being made entirely of wax was just ace! The killer, Vincent Sinclair was a creepy f**ker too 7 pretty scary! I loved the mask he made for himself & the dreary backstory!I overall thought this was a great film which is epic! 9/10
