Six friends are on their way to a football game. They decide to camp out for the night and continue driving the next day. The next day the friends find that they're having car troubles, so two of the friends accept a stranger's ride into a small town named Ambrose. The main attraction in Ambrose is the House of Wax. Except something is not right in this town, the wax figures are so realistic and the whole town is deserted – except for two murderous twin brothers.

User Review

Hot Wax at Tribeca

Rating: 10/10

I'm not sure why this film is averaging so low on IMDb when it's
absolutely everything you could ever want in a horror film. This is the
definition of being a horror film. I consider myself to be a big horror
fan and I must say that this house delivers the goods. House of wax Is
the story of a group of college kids on their way to a football game
whom decide to camp out for the night and have a run in with a local
weirdo. Upon waking the next morning they make a gruesome discovery and
decide to go into town for a broken car part. The town is creepy and
I'm just gonna stop there. Because thats when the truly gruesome mayhem
begins. trust me when I say if your looking for a horror film go see
this you will love it. It's wonderfully diabolical and inventive with
it's killing scenes, the story is interesting and the characters are
decently drawn with the actors giving them gobs of personality. Paris
Hilton included whom does quite well with her part. the film lies a
little on the shallow side but it's so much fun and who cares. This
movie should eat up the box office and all horror fans should have part
in it. Go see House of Wax the film that features skin being peeled,
super glued lips, dead animal carcasses, hot wax sprayed on a still
living person, a finger being cut off, a decapitation, a pole through
the head and much more. I was lucky enough to witness this film at the
Tribeca premiere and all the actors were on hand to promote the film.
And boy do they have something to be proud of House of wax is the
scariest roller coater ride of the year! 9/10
