Plot: A group of friends (Carly Jones, Nick Jones, Paige Edwards, Wade, Dalton Chapman, and Blake) are on their way to an important football game, while along the way, they decide to camp in some woods. The next day Wade's car experiences car troubles with a broken fan belt. Carly and Wade decide to go to the nearest town to get a new fan belt while the rest of the group attempts to go to the game. When an unbelievably slow traffic jam stops Paige, Dalton, Blake, and Nick, they decide to go back to get Wade and Carly. One by one, the entire group ends up falling prey to two murderous brothers, the creators of the town's local 'House of Wax'. They must escape before they become the House of Wax's main exhibit.

Review: House Of Wax is pretty much everything I like in a horror movie. The killers were creepy and freaky but not too over the top. The murders were genuine and realistic looking while the cinematography was great! Carly Jones (Elisha Cuthbert) and her boyfriend, Wade (Jared Padalecki) are going to the big college football game with a group of friends and her brother, Nick (Chad Michael Murray). Along the way, they get tired and look for a place to camp out for awhile and get some rest. As you can imagine, car problems end up keeping them from getting out of their hidden campsite. Carly and Wade head for the small town of Ambrose, which seems strange on the surface.

This is where the real action begins. While I admit that the movie took it's time getting to the good stuff, it was well worth the wait. The special effects department have outdone themselves. Especially when it comes to the house made of wax, itself.

I was very surprised by the low rating given by the IMDb users. I should not be, but I was. Do not be fooled. If you are into horror movies, then this one comes highly recommended. In fact, it has inspired me to see the original and will do so first chance I get. 8/10

Interview with Paris Hilton from the "House of Wax" Premiere
Producer Joel Silver never tried to conceal the fact “House of Wax” kills off Paris Hilton’s character. In fact, the “House of Wax” filmmakers even went so far as to create posters and T-Shirts which read “See Paris Die May 6!” So what did the budding actress think about her death scene? Hilton told me, “My death scene is really cool. It’s the coolest death scene in the movie – and my strip scene is really hot.”

Strip scene? Yes, Paris Hilton does a strip tease for her onscreen boyfriend (played by Robert Ri’chard). But don’t get your hopes up. “House of Wax” is more about gore and death and less about sex and nudity than most films of its ilk.

More on Paris Hilton’s Strip Tease: Let’s face it, a lot of males may be interested in checking out “House of Wax” after hearing Miss Hilton does a strip tease. Hilton says it was fun to do and that to prepare for showing off her body in a theatrically released film, she did something she claims she’s never done before. “I worked out for a month for this,” said Hilton, confessing that’s something she’s not used to doing.

Why Should People Purchase a Ticket to “House of Wax?” According to Paris, “House of Wax” is “so scary and so good. It kicks ass. This one is creepy and scary and sexy and fun. It’s a fun movie to go watch and scream and have a good time watching.”

On Her Desire to Act: “I love acting. It’s been a dream of mine my whole life and now I’m fulfilling it.”
