if i judged this movie based on acting, dialogue, and its use of horror cliches, it would be half a star, but the production itself including the stellar design of the wax town and that burning climax is worth one star. read more

house of wax is the best film made by dark castle. it's gory, it's thrilling and it's got a decent if not the most original story that holds it all together. it's also got fantastic set designs and special effects. unlike many horror films the ending to this one doesn't suck. it doesn't get hokey or cheesy and doesn't get really dumb. sure it may be about 10 minutes to long, the characters split up way to much, it may not have enough deaths and there is no nudity which sucks but otherwise it's got everything you want in this type of movie. overall house of wax is one of the better horror read more

i hated this film when i saw it upon its home video release in late 2005. there are a lot of reasons why, no doubt. but a fair number don't have anything to do with the movie itself. call it guilt by association; the mid-2000s were not kind to horror, and i saw what i expected in another cash grab remake (see also: the hitcher, the fog, and so on). and i'm not saying that there wasn't a cash grab here. but while it's not particularly good, house of wax is fun. chalk that up not to the script, which runs clunkily through the motions of a remake in name only, but to the director and the cast... read more
