I wanted to avoid this when it released in theatre because of being a fan of Vincent Prices original House of wax. But when i saw this in theatre i was surprised that it wasn't the remake of the original. In fact it has shades of Tourist trap. Nevertheles this film is very entertaining n has some very good cool death scenes. The deaths r gruesome. It is effectively paced with some lovely cinematography, good character development, good background story of the creepy villain. Hilton's death scene was the best one. Yeehaw!
