i do not think that this movie deserve the low rating that most will give it . it one of the best teenager horror film i have ever see while and that say a lot . nothing be leave without an explanation to back it up and the character and plot break countless horror movie stereotype and and it have get nothing to do with some other horrible piece we have be submit to lately . ( a clear example be the mindless saint ange . ) the first 30 40 minute might be downright bore with the exception of the beginning and although some minor light mistake can be easily spot . after the arrival to the village and though and the horror a different and twisted kind of horror begin . with the plot and the detail and goof be minor while the character be this movie strong point and give that so many clichés be break in it . for example and the two main male character and nick and wade and be not by any mean the idiotic type be use to while although dalton might fit good in this stereotype and not be he the only one to pay for this lack of consciousness . some scene be truly and satisfyingly horrible and make up for tense moment scatter around all the film . and and in the end and and although everything be decorously explain and it easy to see that thing would not go so easy to the survive character . the only error i can see and and which do not imply continuity ( ie and carly not find her own cut finger in the unconscious bo pocket ) be the illumination and which be somehow annoy during the first and boring 30 minute . although and plot and effect wise and everything be drastically and cruelly twist with the arrival of the main character to ambrosia and that little village in the midst of nothing and so i will give it that . it be pretty much argue that about 70 % of the movie be illogical while how can two people build an entire house of wax . and where do they get all the wax from . these wouldn not be uprising question if people would have pay more attention to the movie . the sinclair brother do not build the house of wax while their mother work make actual wax figure and and they be exhibit at the museum . and the scenario where paris hilton unfortunate character meet her untimely death be the answer to the second question while what be with all the personal object ( mobile phone and car and clothes ) of the dead people . use their third brother a a connection with the exterior and it pretty much arguable that the sinclair twin should obtain the money necessary to buy the wax and in a wwii type fashion . so and that aside and i think the movie deserve a lot more than it get and and nobody should lose the chance to watch it . so go see the house of wax . right now .
