This was not a film that I had aspired to see, but saw it while browsing at the local video store. I thought what the hey and gave it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. Paris Hilton was pretty good,even though I thought hmm, how could this be good? They didn't over expose her although I thought the little strip tease thing, without leading to anything, was a bit un needed.It added nothing to the drama, really.
Anyway, the film moves rather quickly, and I found, other than the strip tease, everything fit into place perfectly. I wasn't expecting the little twists and turns, which there were many. Some of the things I thought were going to develop into a predictable plot line did not.
The creepy guy at the beginning that picks up the roadkill, I thought he was going to end up being a bigger, more sinister character, yet he fades into the background until the end of the film when everything is figured out. (He also leaves it open to a sequel.)
The whole town being wax? Sh!t!! I wasn't expecting THAT!! I mean, I did not even snap to the funeral, everyone being wax! The preacher was looking annoyed,WAX!! The old woman opening and closing the curtain, giving hope that there was possibly SOMEONE real in the town, WAX!! I just would have never thought that! It's rare anymore that films are so twisty and unpredictable.
Also, there was a fair amount for gore, super glueing lips shut(and pulling them apart!!) and cutting off a fingertip! That was super gross! The trifecta was the pole through Paris' head. That was great and she seemed to play being scared to death very real.
This is a great film, definitely worth a watch.
