      House of Wax

      The first time I saw this movie was when I was in middle school. Because it is often broadcast on TV, I have watched it several times. Therefore, during that time, this movie has naturally become an exciting topic in Chinese class, on the way from school, in the dining hall, and on the playground.

          Overall, it is indeed a typical American thriller that is worth recommending to classmates.
          The plot is not procrastinated, telling the story of a group of men and women who...

      Not recommended

      fear! Just a personal feeling.
        The evaluation given is "OK", but it is better not to watch such a terrifying film, so it is as shown in the title. What kind of film is not good to watch, but this kind of bloody, disgusting?
        Thrill seekers may not find it scary enough, and timid ones won't watch.
        I don't think horror movies have any real meaning.
        From this film, I can only draw the following points:
        1. Children who were violent when they were young are likely...

      Paris Hilton's Play Ticket

      First of all, the film is a horror film, at least the banner of thriller, but there are only a few scenes in the film that can be scary. As for thinking, looking at what actors are, it can basically be ignored.

      Secondly, several boys and girls in the film are purely courting death. Who has nothing to do and run to a spooky place? Curiosity doesn't behave that way, and it's not even fearless for the ignorant.

      As for our sister Paris, I suddenly feel that she has some kind of...

          Curiosity kills more than cats. Curiosity also kills people... No one is born a pervert. The reason why people distort their mentality is often forced by the

          surrounding environment .
      The way each country shoots and deals with horror movies is actually the same, except for the preparation of
      makeup and music, the rendering of storylines and props and costumes. If you are used to
      this , how can you resist and be afraid?

          Tell yourself, it's just...

      classic story remake

      I knew this story when I was a child N years ago, but the media was relatively undeveloped at that time, I just heard about it, I hadn't seen the movie, and I didn't have to buy it in the audio-video store.
      One day I went to a video store to find horror movies, and the boss strongly recommended this, saying how good it is, but in the end, I bought it because there were MMs from the girl next door.
      The DVD menu is very well done, using the background of the wall of the wax museum. When...

    Behind the scenes gags

    All the wax figures in the film are made according to real people, and modeled according to their real figures, while the wax figure of the dead man played by Jared Padalecki is based on a 3D scan of his body.

    Evaluation action

    There is no overlap between "House of Wax" and the old film in 1953 except for the concept of "making wax figures from dead bodies". The new film tells a story of pure adulthood and pure horror and is close to the "perfect" standard of category B movies. (Southern Metropolis Daily Review
    Although "House of Wax" is no different from Hollywood's usual horror movies in terms of story layout and performance, it still receives the...

    Movie quotes

    • Carly: [about the smell] I think it's coming from over there.

      Paige: [sarcastically] Yeah, let's follow the smell.

    • Paige: [after giving Dalton a makeover] He looks like a smurf.

    • Carly: I don't believe this. You steal a car and it's my fault. You evade arrest and it's the cops' fault...

      Nick: One of 'em took a swing at me.

      Carly: You get kicked out of the house, it's Mom and Dad's fault. You lose your football scholarship and it's the coach's fault! You can't keep a job for more than two weeks because it's every manager's fault!

      Nick: I'm surrounded by idiots.

      Carly: So then why did you come, to piss me off?

      Nick: Why don't you get it? You're the good twin, I'm the evil one.

      Carly: Grow up. You are so afraid to take things seriously.
