  4. A. Good simple, cheesy slasher doesn’t require much of a story. It just needs a good set-up and location for some gnarly kills. House of Wax does that perfectly. It’s a hell of a lot better than a lot of trash being released as a slasher nowadays. There’s Someone in Your House on Netflix wishes it was half as good as House of Wax.

    (Photo by © Warner Brothers) Since House of Wax, director Collett-Sera has made a reputation for doing a whole lot with not much. His Liam Neeson films – Unknown, The Commuter, Non-Stop, Run All Night – always feel a cut above the average action programmer, and he managed to direct Orphan – yes, the one in which the kid turns out to be a 33-year-ol...

    (Photo by © Warner Brothers) A movie titled House of Wax lives or dies by its titular location: Audiences walk in expecting a creepy-as-hell museum made of wax – it’s why they ponied up to the box office in the first place – so you sure as hell better give it to them. Collett-Sera and the production designers deliver, and then some, with not just a...

    (Photo by © Warner Brothers) House of Wax arrived at a strange time for studio horror, and by most people’s assessments, not a time particularly marked by quality output. The slasher revival kicked off by Scream in the mid-to-late 1990s had not really delivered a “revival” at all, with imitators from I Know What You Did Last Summer to Urban Legend ...

    (Photo by © Warner Brothers) Of course, the most memorable moment in House of Wax belongs to then ubiquitous socialite Paris Hilton, who – after a satisfying chase scene – is impaled by a metal pole thrown at her like a javelin. Warner Brothers’ marketing had gone out with the slogan “See Paris Die!”and Collett-Sera made sure to fulfill the promise...

    (Photo by © Warner Brothers) And not just because of the Paris factor. Like the town of Ambrose itself, House of Wax is a time capsule, and watching it today is strangely comforting – especially if you’re longing for the simpler days of playing Snake 2 on your NOKIA. The movie came out just before technology evolved to a level where a plot like thi...
