It was a dark, dreary, rainy afternoon, so I decided to take in "HOW". It was below average to be fair. I can assure you wax figures can emote a lot stronger than this latest installment of rag tag teen actors.
There wasn't anything for me to like about the movie, aside from some fairly decent kills and goreshots, namely Paris Hilton
Spoiler:, she, playing a crazed **** with jungle fever. Basically a reprisal of her role in "Nine Lives". She didn't die soon enough in this one, IMO.
being impaled through through her empty head with a rod
Anycrap, really poor script, really typical, limp teen horror flick acting, predictable flow and villains, with an out place ending that reminded me of "The Gate". Toss in a couple of meaningless scenes to get Paris and Elisha shirtless, and a slew of TCM/Wrong Turn influences, and you have "House of Wax".
I think the set fire in Australia was God's way of saying this movie was destined for failure. Boy, was he ever right.
This thread was started by me! Wow, I forgot all about it.
Since that post, I've seen it and it wasn't scary at all. It did keep me interested, and it did remind me of a lot of mainstream horror films. But, it was exciting to see Paris poled. Umm, wow it comes out on DVD TOMORROW. I'm getting it, along with 'LAND OF THE DEAD'. I'm glad I'm back . . .
P.S. I think we all made Paris being in the movie a huge deal, she did do a well job and she is just another celebrity. What makes her any different? Anyways . . .
