DVD House of Wax (Widescreen Edition)
You know the one about the group of horny kids who get offed one by one? Yeah, so do director Jaume Collet-Serra and his screenwriters, who have updated an old Vincent Price flick and sandwiched it between hearty slices of The Blair Witch Project and various Friday the 13th films. Lots of WB and Fox network hotties--including 24's Elisha Cuthbert, One Tree Hill's Chad Michael Murray, and, well, Paris Hilton--have car trouble and stumble onto a town populated by real killer personalities. The R-rated result is fairly gruesome and, though no one ever quite looks frightened enough, Collet-Serra knows his way around a jolting suspense sequence or two. Cuthbert and an unintentionally funny Murray (striking ludicrous poses as some kind of real toughie) act more like angry ex-lovers than the fraternal twins they're supposed to be; Hilton acts bored while her real-life video scandal is exploited for ironic kicks; and the film heads shamelessly over-the-top with each new twist. As an exercise in bloody mayhem, it has a few novel touches, but you can easily find better scares. --Steve Wiecking
I hate wax figures real ones. They have a museum in Baltimore The Great Blacks in Wax Museum and on a school trip we went there. I tell you what they had some of them moving they had them hidden away in the dark you turn around and BAM theres one right behind you. So you know their wax but I don't know those things are freaky especially when they look like the real person. So if they told me that was a hunted house I would have believed them I was shook and dont like them much more now that I am 25.
I like the old cheesy house of wax from back in the day. That was what I was expeceting more or less with this one. But of course 100 years after the original this modern day wax movie would be a little more extreme.
Excellent movie !! Those people got tortured. There are many parts in this movie where I was actually uncomfortable and there is plenty of suspense and brutality. The guys get the girls get it no remorse. They should have kept on driving I see they didnt learn anything from Wrong Turn or any other horror movie that you can't take short cuts and believe me they pay. I don't want to give away this movie but I highly sugguest buying it. You wont be dissapointed.
One of the best horror flicks of 2005
I know there are many mixed reviews about this movie, mostly negative. I know some people might think I'm crazy for liking this movie so much, I probably am. But throughout this year, full of burnout horror films, I thought this was one of the best. This movie has a lot of adrenaline. So, once it starts, it doesn't stop(well it does stop when the movie is over, though)Everything that happens in this movie, makes you think. Every ankle that is slice and every fingertip you cut off, you feel. That's why I liked this movie. It was real horror. So, I advise you to go out and rent it or buy it, and see it for yourself.
Not really a Slasher
This movie exceeeded my expectations. Not only did it have very little of Paris Hilton, but there wasn't THAT much violence. There were only a couple of scenes that were a little bit violent. But, one of my favorite actresses, Elisha Cuthbert is in it. She is kinda new. She was in "The Girl Next Door", and "Love Actually", and "Old School". The last two of those movies she played small parts. But the movie is well made. And its great to look at too. It sets up this creepy atmosphere early on, mainly by just looking at the creepy small towns most of us hate.
The reason I don't give it 5 stars is because of the climax. It goes into this predicatable climax. But the movie runs at an 113 min. So it gives us all we need before the entertaining climax of the movie. So for about an hour and 35 min it gives us just pure horror movie and then it goes into the climax which again, isn't bad, but its kinda old.
OK, there are other little things that are great about this movie. One, is that there is little of Paris Hilton. She doesn't really talk and when she does its not the best acting. But she does do a striptease, which is pretty sweet. And the soundtrack for the movie is great. So if you are looking for a good horror movie, or just a good movie in general, just get it. Buy it. Its one of those where after you buy it and watch it and put it away, a year later you will wanna watch it again. So its a good buy.
Most horror movies establish an atmosphere of normalcy, which they gradually rupture with spooky or creepy or stomach-churning images. The Amityville Horror--a remake of the 1979 movie about a possessed house that torments the family that moves into it--tosses normalcy out the window in the first five minutes, unleashing a nonstop barrage of unsettling camera angles, decaying wood and stained wallpaper, half-glimpsed shadows in motion, fast edits of grotesque ghosts, and dozens of other horror-movie devices. Whether you like the movie will depend on whether you like feeling slightly nauseated and cut off from any semblance of reality--for many people, that's why they go to horror movies. Others won't be able to suspend disbelief that anyone but an actor would spend the time...

Brutal and breathtaking, Sin City is Robert Rodriguez's stunningly realized vision of Frank Miller's pulpy comic books. In the first of three separate but loosely related stories, Marv (Mickey Rourke in heavy makeup) tries to track down the killers of a woman who ended up dead in his bed. In the second story, Dwight's (Clive Owen) attempt to defend a woman from a brutal abuser goes horribly wrong, and threatens to destroy the uneasy truce among the police, the mob, and the women of Old Town. Finally, an aging cop on his last day on the job (Bruce Willis) rescues a young girl from a kidnapper, but is himself thrown in jail. Years later, he has a chance to save her again.

Batman Begins discards the previous four films in the series and recasts the Caped Crusader as a fearsome avenging angel. That's good news, because the series, which had gotten off to a rousing start under Tim Burton, had gradually dissolved into self-parody by 1997's Batman & Robin. As the title implies, Batman Begins tells the story anew, when Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) flees Western civilization following the murder of his parents. He is taken in by a mysterious instructor named Ducard (Liam Neeson in another mentor role) and urged to become a ninja in the League of Shadows, but he instead returns to his native Gotham City resolved to end the mob rule that is strangling it. But are there forces even more sinister at hand?

Bolstered by the success of 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, the Resident Evil movies and the hit remake of his own Dawn of the Dead, George A. Romero returns to the horror subgenre he invented with Land of the Dead. The fourth installment in Romero's zombie cycle (and the first since 1985's Day of the Dead) presents a logical progression of events since 1968's horror classic Night of the Living Dead: Zombies (also known as "stenches" for their rotting odor) are the dominant population, and they've begun to show signs of undead intelligence and gathering power. The wealthiest survivors live comfortably in a luxury high-rise within a barricaded safe zone, ignoring the horrors of the outside world while armed scavengers stage raids in the...

It's not the scary hit that The Ring was in 2002, but The Grudge makes a similarly convincing case for American remakes of popular Japanese horror films. Barely a year passed between the release of Takashi Shimizu's creepy ghost story Ju-On: The Grudge and the production of this American remake, set in Tokyo and starring Sarah Michelle Gellar in her first post-Buffy horror film. About the only significant difference between the two films is the importing of a mostly-American cast (including Bill Pullman, Clea DuVall and Grace Zabriskie), but The Grudge was reconfigured (by screenwriter Stephen Susco) to allow Shimizu to refine and improve the spookiest highlights of his earlier version, which enjoyed previous incarnations as a short film and two...
