Jayne Collette Serra's underrated reimagining of House of Wax is a stylish, innovative nightmare. Although essentially just a very creative slasher film the movie benefits from some great ideas and a wonderful setup. Plus the performances are strong all around from sexy bad boy Chad Michael Murray, bad ass final twin Elisha Cuthbert, handsome Jated Padalecki, hunky maniac Brian Vsn Holt and surprisingly Paris Hilton. Her attack scene is the film's most intense and brutal ten minutes. Although ultimately it falls into cliched horror tropes the movie surrounding it is innovative and inspired.
3.5/5
