Oaklee D This was the first horror film I ever watched as a kid and I remember being terrified. After rewatching the film as an adult I've now come to realise it's campy early 2000's slasher fun. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/04/25 Full Review Michael C Definitely one of my favorite horror films!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Audience Member Bom a casa de cera um filme bom fez muito sucesso nos anos 2000 apesar do sua clássica proposta de terror adolescente estúpido e clichês burros a história funciona bem com isso a história e contada em meio ao filme mencionando o passado dos vilões protagonistas, claramente o filme é bom , e seria bem melhor ce tivesse continuação ao invés do final aberto. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Ralph R House of Wax is a mixed bag of thrills, atmosphere, and flaws. The movie starts off slow, spending time introducing the characters, but it never quite succeeds in making them relatable or compelling. The transition to the second act comes far too late and shifts abruptly from 0 to 100 in just a few scenes, which makes the pacing feel uneven. The acting is decent, but it's held back by a poorly written script that doesn't give the cast much to work with. The direction is serviceable, but even the best efforts can't fully overcome the script's shortcomings. What stands out is the cinematography and production design. The camera work, especially in the wax museum, is surprisingly effective, subtly building tension and adding to the eerie atmosphere. The visuals during the film's finale is a highlight to the impressive production design. Overall, House of Wax isn't a bad watch if you're in the mood for a campy horror experience with some strong visuals. However, the uneven pacing, shallow characters, and lackluster script keep it from being truly memorable. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
