admittedly and before see house of wax and i assume it would simply be a second tier low quality teen slasher film follow in the footstep of such movie a the darkness or amityville horror . after catch an advanced showing at my college campus and i can honestly say that the people at dark castle have do an excellent job with the task of make a slasher . start with the usual staple of a teenage horror film such a the small group of friend depart on a road trip and come across an odd detour take them through country back road and meet creepy local and after the slow but mandatory back story this movie really reach a fast clip . paris hilton appear in this film a many already know and but i really have to give it to her for her ballsy performance . clearly her act wasn not worth an oscar and but the filmmaker use her appearance to it full by squeeze two blatant satire of her and let just say and less noble medium appearance into this film . ms. hilton also claim the title for the great death scene in the movie and and not simply because it be her death scene . this movie be full to the brim with jumpy moment and cheap scare and but jaume serra have definitely create quality suspense and tension between the character . the cause for the horror be in part base on make the audience care for the character and which we do . by make the usual buildup follow with a loud noise and jerk camera some other scary moment . these standard movie technique adopt from many movie past be almost perfect with this film and and provide many good scare . in fact there isn not a slow moment after they get to the small town where the dreaded house of wax museum be . this film owe a lot to many previous movie of this and other genre and though i be not too sure how much come from the original 1953 movie of the same title . reference to such movie a both texas chainsaw masacres and saw and and even titanic and ( see paris hilton big death scene and you will know what i mean ) be common and but in the end the payoff will leave you scar and fulfil if you be look for a good scare with a few laugh . not bad .
