    Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2025

    House of Wax is a true cult classic in the horror genre, and it still holds up as a terrifying, fun experience. The movie combines eerie atmosphere with plenty of gruesome moments, making it a standout from its time. The cast, including a memorable performance from Paris Hilton, adds to the film’s charm, and the wax museum itself is an impressively creepy setting. The tension and suspense build well, and the kills are both shocking and creative. Overall, it’s a highly entertaining horror film that’s perfect for anyone looking for a blend of scares and campy fun. I give it a solid 5 stars for its unique blend of horror and dark entertainment.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2024

    “House of Wax,” directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, is a 2005 horror thriller that offers a chilling blend of suspense, gore, and eerie atmosphere. This modern remake of the 1953 classic centers on a group of friends who stumble upon a creepy, abandoned town with a sinister secret.

    Pros:

    1. Atmospheric Setting: The film excels in creating a creepy and immersive atmosphere. The wax museum and the ghost town provide a perfect backdrop for the unfolding horror.
    2. Special Effects and Makeup: The wax sculptures and gruesome special effects are impressively done, adding to the film’s unsettling vibe.
    3. Tense and Thrilling: The movie maintains a high level of suspense and tension throughout, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.
    4. Standout Performances: Elisha Cuthbert delivers a solid performance as the protagonist, and Brian Van Holt is effectively menacing as the villain.

    Cons:

    1. Predictable Plot: The storyline follows familiar horror tropes, making many plot points predictable for seasoned horror fans.
    2. Character Development: The film lacks in-depth character development, which can make it difficult to connect with or care deeply about the characters.
    3. Clichéd Dialogue: Some of the dialogue feels clichéd and unoriginal, detracting from the overall impact of the film.

    Overall Impression:

    “House of Wax” is a visually striking horror film that delivers plenty of scares and gore for genre enthusiasts. While it may rely on familiar horror clichés and lack deep character development, its atmospheric setting and effective special effects make it an entertaining watch. If you’re a fan of slasher films and eerie, suspenseful narratives, “House of Wax” offers a thrilling ride through a nightmarish wax museum.

    Es ist dieser ekelhafte Geruch, der den Jugendlichen beim campieren in einem Wald durch die Nasen zieht-
    und dann steht da dieser unheimliche Truck........." Hee! Mach` das Licht aus oder du kriegst `was auf die Fr.esse! "
    Die Sechs sind auf dem Weg zu einem Football- Match, doch die Nacht und der darauf folgende Tag hält noch
    viel spannendere Eindrücke bereit...................
    HOUSE OF WAX bietet mir interessante Einblicke in die Arbeit vom Wachsbildner und seinem schaurigen Hobby....
    " Das ist Wachs! Das ganze Haus ist aus Wachs! " - " Du willst da aber nicht `reingehen, oder? " - " Doch. "
    War ich doch ehrlich fasziniert- vor allem, welcher Aufwand hier betrieben wurde, wie sich in den " Specials " zeigt.
    Extrem schräg, extravagant fantastisch.....in diesem Haus herrscht dicke Luft und der Meister des Grauens.
    Jugendliche auf Erkundungsgängen, verspinnwebte alte und gruselige Häuser,
    herrlich verrückt herumliegendes Schneidwerkzeug und andersgrausige Instrumente, zugesperrte Türen und na klar....
    der Killer aus dem Dunkel- das alles kommt meist gut bei mir- und HOUSE OF WAX ist mit all diesen Dingen großzügig bestückt.
    Geniale Darsteller, die die Geschichte noch beklemmender gestalten, indem sie mitnichten dusselig agieren.
    " Was ist los mit dir? Mach die Tür auf, das ist mein Truck!! "

    ***************************************************************************

    Story:

    Eine Autopanne zwingt Sechs junge Menschen, in einem urigen Hinterwaldnest
    Station zu machen. Was diesen Ort von anderen Kuh- Käffern aber unterscheidet,
    ist ein beunruhigend lebensnahes Wachsfigurenkabinett von monströsen Ausmaßen.

    *****************************************************************************

    Mein nachtropfendes Fazit:

    Perfekter geht`s eigentlich nicht im a la Oldschool- Gruseler, der für mich mit viel Charme
    ungeheure Mengen Wachs versprüht als gäb`s echt kein morgen mehr.
    HOUSE OF WAX: Aufwendig, handgemacht und feinwürzig wie ein lecker köstlicher Semmelknödel,
    der mir dann aber vor Aufregung im Hals kleben bleibt. Haha. Nicht seicht und auch nicht verblödet
    haut der Film in Sachen Ekel, Blutsturz und Gekröse ordentlich auf die Slasher- Pauke,.....Jason und
    seine Freunde könnten es nicht besser. Und so tut`s mir ergo überhaupt nicht leid, dass ich mich den
    zum Teil verachtenden Bewertungen im Netz nicht anschließen kann.
    " Wirklich ein Jammer, dass wir dein hübsches Mündchen zumachen müssen. " Joh, das hätte man so manchen
    Kritikern auch zukleben sollen. Denn dieses Remake von 2005 eines Films aus dem Jahr 1953, den ich nie sah,
    hat mich sagenhaft prima unterhalten- das unzertrennliche Pärchen, der Nette, der Bad Boy, der Looser mit der
    Kamera und das Final Girl............hat man zwar als geübter Zuschauer schon bald ausgemacht, wer ziemlich sicher
    ins Wachs- Gras beißt, kristallisiert sich jedoch dann eine spannende Dynamik heraus, die sich richtig schön.......
    und frisch anfühlt.
    " Is`das unheimlich hier.........ach du schei.sse................! "
    Und ja, die Grundatmosphäre ist auf schmutzigderbe Art ungemütlich und die abartige Art und Weise, wie, ja......
    wie intensiv einige Szenen bei mir wirkten und nachwirken, ist wirklich großes Genre- Kino.
    Drum sei es und ist es so- Fünf aus Wachs geformte Sterne für diese abartigen Schönheiten hier, sogar Paris H.
    kriegt einen halben Zacken ab. Sogar.
    " Was hab` ich gesagt, sind unsere Arbeiten jetzt nicht noch realistischer? "
    Hey ja, und besten Dank an meinen Herzbuben Dani Z.,- ohne dich hätte ich den Film sicher nie gesehen.:)
