House Of Wax

Forget the overloaded gore that you see nowadays. This is what it is really about. Good acting, using the world around for the scares and the atmospheric suspense. This is good cinema. The summary of this product says it all really but this film is so good, I am not going to spoil it for you.
Of course, if you have seen the 2005 House of Wax with Elisha Cuthbert then, you pretty much get the idea (hint hint) but if you are a lover of the classics, if you are someone who loved films such as the classic "Dead of Night" with Hugo the Dummy, then this is one item that should soon be on your checkout list because it is horror at its peak.

It is not over-the-top such as (for example) "Hostel Part II" it is genuine, suspenseful horror that tells you a good creepy story, without the use of lots of fake bloody effects and an onslaught of make-up. Vincent Price is the key to this film and his acting lifts this story of the pages of the book and the script.
A must-have for any lover of the good and decent generation of horror films, before it going over the top in the new century...
