Expert Level Waxing

House of Wax

Paris Hilton instead of Vincent Price: HOUSE OF WAX from 2005 is one of these new editions that has achieved the unimaginable. Instead of producing another interchangeable teen horror flick, Jaume Collet-Serra has gone deep into the splatter box and delighted horror newbies just as much as long-established Gorehounds. Finally back on the big screen for the 20th anniversary.

A group of young people are involuntarily stranded in a remote village, where they come across the ominous “House of Wax.” In it, they find not only wax figures, but also deadly dangers. As mistrust waxes, a brutal fight for survival begins.

Beware! [Sexual Content] [Child Abuse] [Animal Cruelty]

Hätte es 2005 schon TikTok gegeben, wäre Paris Hilton wohl die Influencerin der 2000er gewesen. Dafür gabs halt das Tape «1 Night in Paris», was ihr zu grosser Aufmerksamkeit verhalf. HOUSE OF WAX: Damals verrissen und belächelt, genau so wie ihre Hauptdarstellerin – und heute sind beide Kult. Naja, manchmal braucht es halt bisschen Zeit, um was wirklich gut zu finden.
