About

You’ll probably like House of Wax if you enjoy fast, no-nonsense teen horror with a standout wax-themed setting and plenty of gruesome spectacle; Not for you if you want a slow-burn mystery like Gothika or a more grounded horror tone like The Hills Have Eyes.

Pros: creepy wax museum; inventive slasher; likable ensemble | Cons: slow start; goofy moments; some plot issues
