House of Wax - Official thread

[Despair]

Another contender at the title of worst horror movie of the year arrives today.

House of Wax, combines gore and stupid horny teens of Friday the 13th, with 24's Kim Bauer and adda dose of slutty trash, with Paris Hilton.

Not much can be really said about this. Its a stupid horror movie, with stupid characters doing stupid things. And dying. And thus lies the main attraction. Many people will go to see this, just to have pleasure of seeing Hilton being mutilated on the big screen.

From few reviews that I have read, I learned that movie doesnt shy from the good old gore, and thats a plus, especially with latest trend of pussy whipped pg13 horror trash. But thats pretty much it, as good qualities of House of Wax go.

Here is Ebert's take on this:

P.S. I am sure this will be #1 at the Box Office this week.

I will be seeing this. Dark Castle hasn't let me down yet.

I dunno. They started well, with House on the Haunted Hill (which while flawed, had plenty of good stuff in it). Then came 13 Ghosts, which was pretty bad, except for Ghosts themselves and death of the lawyer.

Ghost Ship was improvement again, and I havent seen Gothica yet, nor I really want to.

House on the Hounted Hill was Dark Castle's only decent movie.

This movie will suck. I don't even care that Paris Hilton will be getting killed in it (I bet the audience will clap when she dies), the bitch'll still be alive IRL.

I kind of hesistated posting in this thread but I've got to just outright say that Dark Castle has done more damage to the Horror genre than all of the 90's era Scream clones put together.

(I bet the audience will clap when she dies)

I can't imagine the stupidty behind this. If everyone's so willing to see her get slaughtered (and I wouldn't hesitate to feed her flaming piles of styrchnine-laced horse shit), why would they help prolong her 'acting' career by paying for the movie? That hard-up for lame cheap scares?

Beats me, dude. All these people that can't stand her want to go see her get 'killed'. You really want to hurt her and her career? Don't waste your money on the ticket. Or, if you have to, sneak in.

IBTN. And it's not even that good.

The Horror genre died after the second Elm Street. Give it up.

She dies 74 minutes in. The crowd in Toronto (during a preview screening) applauded loudly.
