Lieke C Honestly a maybe a little cheeky here and there but for the most part I really liked this movie! Creepy and loved the main 2 characters!! Definitely worth a watch Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Nick C Great writing. Mediocre cinematography. Bad acting. I've seen worse acting, but there are no performances to write home about. Jared Padalecki was a highlight, but even he did not give a performance that is gonna change anyone's life. He did not get much screen time, so Supernatural fans could take a pass on this one. All that being said, there were a few moments that made this worth it: * Twin tropes. Couple of cheeky scenes ham this up from a few angles for some good fun * Super corny shot of someone getting speared through the head * Paris Hilton does a strip tease (<30 secs to be honest) I watch a lot of bad (horror) movies for fun. I will not be watching this one again. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/24 Full Review Deontae D A great 2000's slasher film, A great cast too, I have it on DVD too, I watched this movie so many times, I lost count lol, I love this movie when I was growing up, Lol Cinemax played this movie every time, I kinda wished we got a sequel, But I don't think it needs a sequel, I never saw the 1953 vincent price house of wax, I need to check that one out, It's 2024 and this movie is still good. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Kyle M As distastefully gruesome like any unpleasant slasher flicks, your average horror remake under modernized service and subpar energy, aside from Chad Michael Murray’s grit, has a creepy grip that ideally captures the attraction’s uncanny valley with a shock value to boot, amidst an impressive production lore setting that may have added to general discomfort. (B-) Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Blu B I give it a bit of credit. they didn't just try to do a shot for shot remake with the same characters of the 53' one. There is an actual attempt of doing a completely new take on the material. So much so, it doesn't resemble its predecessor at all. Different era, characters, and take. It's like if someone took the 53' one and mixed it with Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you'd get this. Everything is alright about it but man when this does find it stride it's pretty unsettling and interesting to watch. When it focuses on them in the wax town and getting hunted it's at it's best and kind of good. The gore is really good in this as well and very disturbing. There isn't THAT many jumpscares either. The setting is original, the villains aren't bad, kills are pretty decent especially Wade, and again when it finds it's stride at points its pretty good. Problem is for everything good, there is something not. The ending is kind of cool but instead of being creepy it becomes an action movie almost out of nowhere which really doesn't fit the tone of everything else despite being a pretty cool idea. The worst parts are the opening 15 minutes when there all being the stereotypical unlikeable late 90's-00's teens who are so unlikeable with handheld cam. It's easily the worst part and is terrible. Also, in the second half when Paris Hilton takes over as the main focus, it tanks and can't keep the goodwill and momentum it had going with the others. It feels a bit pointless and should've just stayed focused on the main girl. Direction is pretty hit or miss at times also. This needed to stay focused and cut all other scenes with the other friend group especially Hilton, make the character more likeable in the start, less of a action type ending and more suspense/horror, and more consistent direction. If your a DIE HARD fan of the texas Chainsaw series I would say give this a try possibly. It's so different from the Price one it's not comparable. Most could probably skip this. Ironically enough, THIS version posssibly should get a remake. There's lots of potential here to do this right. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Larry L I don't know why this has such a low rating. This is an original classic horror movie in my opinion that I have watched several times and even own the DVD. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
