Gothic horror is not dead..., 1 September 2000
8/10
Author: termy-2 from Port Seton, Scotland

There are so many things to recommend about this movie. The storyline is an excellent reworking of two old horror classics 'The Wax Museum' & 'House of Wax', bringing a modern feel to a retro plot. The gore, as ever in Italian horror, is abundant but doesn't ruin the overall effect of the film (it was released uncut here in the UK, which was an unexpected treat). The acting is also OK (for a dubbed film). Overall it's an excellent gothic horror movie, and you don't get many of those anymore. A fitting tribute to Lucio Fulci (who was all set to direct it before his untimely death).
