Wow, this was a surprise! Never thought a flick starring that giraffe in a blonde wig, with lil' tits & a lazy eye Paris Hilton could actually be good, but this is probably the best horror flick so far in 2005. We've all seen Paris getting' her ass waxed anyway, so guess she makes a good cast choice; luckily she dies in a most fitting manner and anyone who ever sees this will cheer. Paris and the very slow start of the film aside, the movie is damn good, seeming more like an old style classic than a new hip made for the new millennium film. Ten minutes in, I wanted the whole cast dead, except for the sexy auburn-haired cutey with the sweet set, thankfully they all nearly did. This film is not a remake of the original Vincent Price classic; it shares the name only, but an entirely different thing on its own. Of course, with any 'wax' movie you pretty much know what to expect, it's done originally here though with some very cool twists to keep you watching. House of Wax packs a few gory scenes that puts it almost up there with Wax Mask in my book, though not quite as good as that film. It's better than Waxworks & like I said feels like one of those old classic road horror films where people end up where they shouldn't. I don't wanna give away too much, but lets just say this film packs a huge body count by the end & the originality of the story makes up for its shortcomings. House stands out among this year's movies so far.
