Not to focus too much on Paris Hilton, but she brings an art to bad acting.

Reviews for House of Wax
House of Wax is Paris Hilton’s best movie.
05/05/05
The 2005 remake doesn't hold a candle to the original.
05/06/05
A sizzling grand finale is among the few reasons to endure House of Wax.

I’ve got some real affection for House of Wax and perhaps that, more than anything, is why I wish it were just a tiny bit better.

The camera is like a loving captive of Hilton's assured smirk and self-aware demeanor. It's as if she's acting while watching herself on an internal monitor.
05/04/05
A by-the-numbers slasher flick.

Top CriticA crummy horror flick.
05/05/05
Top CriticExpect lots of Slasher Movie 101 and putatively clever jibes at a certain high-profile hotel heiress (involving a video camera, of course, and a box full of cell phones that don’t work).

It's a bloody, messy little throwback that unintentionally brushes against fetish since it eventually dips so many of its hotties in hot wax.

Makes up for its idiot plot with a gallon of gore.

The acting in House of Wax ranges from bad to worse.

Gives new meaning to the term "snuff film."
05/19/05
A script that offers few thrills and a slapdash story.
05/14/05
The filmmakers have one good idea ... Otherwise, the picture remains imagination-free.
05/06/05
House of Wax is not a good movie but it is an efficient one, and will deliver most of what anyone attending House of Wax could reasonably expect, assuming it would be unreasonable to expect very much.
05/06/05
Top CriticThe remake of House of Wax anchors itself firmly in the time-honored tradition of horror exploitations.
05/05/05
As a frightfest it's better than today's average.
