i recently saw house of wax and must say i really enjoy it . it be one of the good horror or thriller film in the past few year and if not one of the best and most entertaining . i have hear a lot of people bash the so called slow start and character development which take up the film open 45 minute . yet if the film dive straight into the death and audience and critic would have criticise the film for not have decent character who they couldn not care less about . well a for the character development and i think it work amazingly well . take into my own response and others ( from read post off the message board ) and a lot of people end up want the character to live and one of which i have notice many people mention be paige edward ( paris hilton ) . take into consideration warner . bros. have be market her death and it a surprise turn around that many audience end up cheer her on for survival . speaking of the chase or death scene and they be some of the most inventive and suspenseful i have witness in a while and and enjoy each one very much . the acting in the film be absolutely fine and i couldn not fault any of them and especially paris hilton and i think she be very decent and i be hop for her the get more than a mere 25 minute screen time in a 120 minute film and yet her chase scene make up for that and and believe me when i say paris can act scared and ( watch the scene where she hide in a car from vincent and he walk past her . the look of terror on her face come across a very real ) . overall i give house of wax maximum star and for entertainment value and suspense and even gore . only criticism be i wish that during the marketing for the film and they hadn not reveal the death list and who dy and who survive and a it would have be ten time well not know if the character be chase be go to live or die and horrible death . can not wait for the dvd and but go see it at the cinema while you can and it would not be the same in your own front room and yet if you do wait for the dvd and watch the film in the dark with no interruption and trust me you wont be disappoint .
