House of Wax

Has anyone actually seen this movie? I caught the trailer on MTV and was wondering if anyone here has watched it yet. It looked pretty decent until those segments started playing on MTV...👍

I suspect we’re looking at yet another tedious teen horror flick, featuring half-naked screamers whose sheer stupidity practically hands the killer a silver platter. As Pablo Francisco once quipped: "Did you hear they made another Friday the 13th? Good grief, these kids are so easy to kill; you could probably take them out with a cordless phone."

Whatever, we'll just have some fun... besides, she's playing Paris Hilton anyway...🙄

Word is there might be some solid attempts at doing Gorea justice 🙄

I heard this flick is total garbage—nothing new or original for the genre, and honestly, it completely flopped at the box office rather than meeting expectations.👎

Most people are just going to see how they butcher Paris while she's running through the woods in nothing but her underwear.😁

We’ve already seen the Paris version in "Sleeping Position," so we definitely don't need the running one 😁

Regardless, we haven't seen how she dies yet...🎉

But let’s be real... the crowds are absolutely loving it because some filthy rich socialite is finally meeting her end... at least on screen 😁😁😁

😍

It looks like this is hitting US theaters sometime late July... or at least, that's my best guess...
I’m honestly just waiting for some critic to drop a review in any major paper so I can check it out. If they give it a 5 out of 5, I’ll happily settle for 1 star... 😁I’m calling it now, it’s going to be bad! The only reason anyone here will even bother showing up to see this movie is because of Paris and Chad Michael Murray...

I’m almost eager to watch Paris burn... 😁

Honestly, you’re much better off watching Roger Corman's original House of Wax. It blows those mindless, cash-grab remakes out of the water any day. And hey, if you're in the mood for something truly twisted, there's that horror flick about a psycho who kills women just to patch up a mummy in his house. Either way, it's a massive step up from that movie starring Paris Hilton.

Absolutely dreadful! 🙂

Seriously guys, stop throwing your money away on garbage like this... it’s completely disconnected and just plain pointless, let alone when you actually look at the acting or how half-baked the characters are.

I was watching that HBO show 'Hollywood : for filming' about it—honestly, the movie is just pure, classic Hollywood trash! 🙂

I'm going to watch the original movie now, and this one too, just to see how Paris dies. 😁

Yap... I honestly think I might sit down and watch this movie just to see if Paris Hilton ends up getting her foot stomped or whatever twisted thing they have planned for her! 😉 She really needs the reality check—she’s out there looking like a total crack addict! 🙂

It seems you all simply don't get it. Paris Hilton is leaning hard into that crack whore Barbie look. 😬

Paris will be doing some kind of striptease scene in the movie, but she isn't going to go all the way... 😢

I caught a screening of Bio yesterday at an AMC Theatres premiere. The runtime clocks in at about two hours, though I found the first half rather tedious, punctuated only by occasional flashes of a young Elisha Cuthbert in just an undershirt and socks—there are those inevitable close-ups on her chest designed specifically to grab the audience's attention. Once you hit the halfway point and the killings actually commence, however, the pacing picks up significantly, and you find yourself watching it in one sitting. It isn't bad, per se, but I have certainly seen superior work.

Pros: Elisha Cuthbert, Paris Hilton (specifically that scene where she dies while performing a blowjob on a guy in a car while being filmed—truly wild), the inventive ways characters meet their ends, solid special effects—particularly when everything melts in the fire during the finale—and a decent amount of dark humor.

Cons: Total MTV trash, an all-male cast (I watched a documentary about the production, and honestly, those guys seem more suited for hookups than playing gritty fighters), and Paris Hilton. 😁

I had no idea Elisha was such a powerhouse. Also, the primary antagonist bears a striking resemblance to a young Bill Paxton.

I would give it a 5.5 out of 10. It’s worth a watch if you have some popcorn, a soda, and absolutely nothing else going on in your brain.
