House of Wax
Well..
I admit it..I actually paid to see a Paris Hilton film. Well, truth be told I didn't pay full price for it, I"m a student so I get the student discount on evening prices..if there is one.
Anyhow, its a marginal film. Too long to get started, and once it does, save for a couple of interesting characterizations, the payoff is weak.
One interesting concept is that the House of Wax really IS a house of wax. Every bit of it is made of sculpted wax. Another interesting thing was the mechanism for "waxing" the people. Oh don't act surprised..you knew that the wax figures are real on the inside.
The kids in the picture are obnoxious idiots...entering buildings just because the doors are unlocked, and once in, they make themsleves at home, as if it's morally ok to snoop in a house that is apparently empty. Immediately after fishing "Carly" (Elisha Cuthbert) out of a pit full of rotting road kill, they willingly accept a lift from what appears to be an inbred hick, with rotten teeth, this is immediately after he adds to the pit with a chicken and an elk!
Robert Zemekis and Joel Silver are listed as producers on this gem...and I'm surprised because their product is usually evocative at the least, and real conversation material at the most.
oh well, we knew we were taking chances when we went..
til next time
