Review: Despite its title, 2005’s House of Wax is less a remake of the 1953 classic and instead more a remake of the 1933 film, Mystery of the Wax Museum, sharing a similar plotline. Once inside the spooky and seemingly abandoned building, they find the works on display are not quite what they seem and they soon discover it’s being hunted by the insane twin brothers (BRIAN VAN HOLT) who run the museum. They are forced to seek help in the only place that’s open: the local wax museum. Plot Synopsis: A group of college friends - Carly (ELISHA CUTHBERT), boyfriend Wade (JARED PADALECKI), brother Nick (CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY), best friend Paige (PARIS HILTON), Paige’s boyfriend Blake (ROBERT RI’CHARD) and Nick’s friend Dalton (JON ABRAHAMS) - are en route to a school football game when they wind up with a flat tire in a ghost town. Shout Factory provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. Hayes (screenplay)Ĭast: Elisha Cuthbert, Chad Michael Murray, Brian Van Holt, Paris Hilton, Jared Padalecki, Jon Abrahams, Robert Ri’chardįeatures: Featurettes, Interviews, Deleted Scene, Gag Reel, Theatrical Trailer House of Wax, while far from great, is still a decently entertaining remake featuring some well done practical and halfway respectable visual effects plus had some creepy moments.
