Trivia:
Before Paris Hilton was cast as Paige Edwards, Jennifer Connelly and Kate Winslet were originally considered for the role. The rest of the cast was built around her. Her "That's hot" catchphrase is spoken by several characters, for this reason.

Goofs:
Continuity: When Carly's on the phone leaving a message on Blake's cell in Bo's truck, she pauses for a moment as Bo comes out and asks, "Where's Wade?". When Blake listens to the message later, there's hardly a pause between her message and then her talking to Bo. There was a much longer pause the first time.

**1/2 Elisha Cuthbert, Chad Michael Murray, Brian Van Holt, Paris Hilton and Jon Abrahams. Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra.
Yet another classic horror film remade with dunder-headed teenage acting despite grizzly and creative deaths. Based on the 1953 Vincent Price film House of Wax where a maniac kills unsuspecting teenage hooligans and turns them into priceless wax figures. Still with the fantastic set design to make the whole house into wax the movie is a typical classic horror remake like Tobe Hooper's 1974 classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre later remade, despite creativity and so-so acting the movie was still just a gore picture. Director Serra showed mild enthusiasm with his directing but still worth watching. My final rating 7/10.
