Change the name to Tourist Trap. Its plot it's a little bit more similar to that movie than this. In fact go watch that movie instead. Heck Joe Bob Briggs plays it on Shudder. If Shudder and this review is still around in the future. Tourist Trap has Chuck Connors(The Rifle Man)in that one which I checked out back in July of this year. (2018 if this is still on here years later). That movie is bizarre and has an even better story. It came out in 1979. Directed by David Schmoller it stars Connors and a young Tanya Roberts (Beastmaster and That 70s Show). 4 friends set out to look for their missing friend who supposed to get a flat tire patched of his car and wind up at the place and that's where the fun really begins. Great movie great score. 4 Stars.

Considered to be Paris Hilton's finest film, House of Wax is an absurd romp in the horror/slasher genre that poses the deeper questions.Is Paris really attractive? Will she take off her shirt? Do I even want her to?Watch this movie and you will ponder these questions and many more.

Traveling together for a road trip to a football game, a group of friends stumble upon a small, demented town home to maniacal, murderous twins entombing victims in the town's wax museum and must find away to stop them and get away alive.This was a highly enjoyable if only slightly flawed effort. One of the better elements here to this one is the absolutely amazing and breathtaking work done on the set for the titular museum, for there's a lot of time there and it truly lives up to the title with everything made of wax, from the sculptures and figures to the decorations around the rooms and even the building itself which is quite an impressive look throughout here. The eeriness of that look comes from the chilling tactic of encompassing the victim completely in wax which creatures a marvelous look that comes off well here as well as being responsible for several of the film's most eerie and chilling scenes here. The most impressive is the wax-shower contraption which covers the entire body, and a later scene where the stumble upon an encrusted victim and begin peeling it away only to rip chunks of flesh off instead which is insanely chilling. What makes it all the better is the connection to the stalking and slashing here, allowing for the church scene where she first comes across their macabre intentions while hiding from one of the maniacs, a chase amongst the statues at the museum down into the basement and a frantic encounter in the movie theater sitting amongst the rows of statues trying to remain undetected as he stalks them which is a really eerie series of scenes here. The other big slasher scenes here are a lot of fun when it goes into the abandoned factory after the lone girl or the early chases through the town's streets which are quite fun, though really can't compare to the finale in the museum as the fine melting wax provides a fantastic base for the fine brawling and chasing amongst the flaming walls as the chase to get out is a fantastic action scene. Along with the creepy-looking killers and some solid gore, there's enough here to old this off from the few small flaws here. The biggest issue here is the clichéd and uninteresting background for the killers which is just so underwhelming being such a commonly utilized story that it doesn't really impress at all. There's also the lengthy amount of time it takes getting going being stuck with this unlikely group of friends doing nothing of interest for an incredibly long time which does wear thin here. These here are the film's only flaws.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and brief scenes with dead animals.
