November 2, 2008Ok, yes, it is probably one of the worst horror movies out there but listen up people: Paris Hilton is not the worst thing ever. She's not even mildly annoying in this movie. I didn't care for her at all.
You know what's the worst part of this piece of junk? The screenplay. It ... ...( read more ) -

May 12, 2008Ok, the real reason I saw this was to watch Paris Hilton's character die, I admit it.
But let's get down to the review. The storyline is a bit out there, not to mention the fact that the camera work needs some adjusting. Acting is average, apart from Hilton who is wooden and unc... ...( read more ) -

Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness
A mundane slasher flick populated by blandly pretty people who look really good in sweaty tank tops. full review

David Edelstein, Slate
It's nowhere near as punishing as Rob Zombie's House of 1,000 Corpses, but it's increasingly tense and resourceful and, in the end, it gets the sick job done. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
The debut feature from director Jaume Collet-Serra does two things rare in the horror genre: It takes its time and it actually gets better as it goes along. full review

"House of Wax" is a classic, of a kind ... It plays its alarming carnage straight, and it's very scary. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

December 1, 2008Many thinks that Paris Hilton should die in this movie, well I guess, not a good idea neither a bad one, she may be viewed as a socialite gurl, but well if that's the movie tells us, then let it be... Hey her acting (Paris) is also a bit good... if not all audiences would appreciate that...
overall a quality suspense and horror movie... -
