Sobre aquesta pel·lícula

A bunch of college students are stranded in a small town where suffering for art takes on a whole new meaning in this tale of terror. Carly (Elisha Cuthbert) and her boyfriend, Wade (Jared Padalecki), have hit the road with a handful of their friends to attend a championship college football game; tagging along with them are Carly's bratty friend Paige (Paris Hilton, Carly's trouble-making twin brother Nick (Chad Michael Murray), and Blake (Robert Ri'chard), Paige's latest boy toy. While camping out for the night, the gang makes the mistake of getting on the wrong side of a mysterious local redneck, and the next morning they discover that Wade's car no longer works. As the others continue on to the big game, Carly and Wade make their way into the closest town, Ambrose, and discover it's all but deserted, except for a local tourist attraction, the House of Wax. However, it isn't long before they find out why the wax sculptures at the museum look so freakishly real, and discover a pair of murderous brothers are keen on making them part of the next exhibit. House of Wax is an in-name-only remake of the well-remembered 1953 3-D horror outing starring Vincent Price, which was in turn based on the 1933 picture Mystery of the Wax Museum.

Just the sort of movie you would expect with a young, good looking cast of characters that gets stranded in a small strange town. None of the characters are likeable enough to care for when they are killed, (and thankfully they are) not even the ones you're supposed to cheer for. Cheer for the killers instead.

I enjoyed this movie, I wouldn't say its scary but very weird and creepy. A good movie, I would recommend it if you're into gruesome movies and stories

Its a great remake and leaves you on the edge of your seat. The reason I said that about it not being generic is because a few people I know say its a generic and cheesy setting but its classic!
