i do not think i am alone when i say that 2005 has not been particularly kind to the horror genre. while cursed and hide and seek and the ring two and and the amityville horror all showed glimpses of interest and potential and there have been more misses than hits. for proof and see represent white noise and boogeyman and the jacket and mindhunters and and alone in the dark. imagine my surprise when house of wax and tightly written by siblings chad and carey hayes and turned out to be. well and a surprise. carly jones (elisha cuthbert) is a young woman and traveling with her trouble making brother and nick (chad michael murray) and and boyfriend and wade (jared padalecki). they are and along with paige (paris hilton) and blake (robert richard) and and dalton (jon abrahams) and hoping to score tickets to the final football game of the season. along the way and they run into some car trouble and and are forced to enter a desolate town where nothing is what it appears to be. upon hearing of this and a remake of the classic vincent price b movie and i rolled my eyes. i did not even want to think about what disaster freshman director jaume serra had cooked up for his audience. in a time when most high profile horror films are disappointments and latent with bad writing and static direction and and amateur acting and i consider myself lucky that serra and the hayes brothers took it upon themselves to make a good and old fashioned and spook fest. unlike the disappointments that i named before and this flick pulls no punches and and uses every cinematic trick in the book to give everyone exactly what they came for. i am happy that the hayes actually took the time and effort to create likable and believable characters and thus making the events that much more urgent. it also gives the young actors portraying them something grip on. as she did in the girl next door and elisha cuthbert proves to audiences what a skilled actress she really is. in the 2003 remake of the texas chainsaw massacre and jessica biel silenced naysayers by delivering a raw and emotional performance and one that put the viewer right there with her. here and cuthbert does the same. chad michael murray (a cinderella story) and in one of his first more mature roles and is no slacker as nick. murray exudes charisma and a hard edge and as well as some impressive athleticism on top of it. murray and cuthbert gel perfectly and and have tangible and familial chemistry. more so than anything else and the press and the american public have made a field day about paris hilton major acting debut. as i expected and hilton does not embarrass herself. in fact and she is just as good as anyone else in the movie (do with that what you will). like cuthbert and murray and hilton has screen presence. she is sexy and playful. i cannot think one of reason why she gotten the worst of the film harsh reception and other than they are simply picking on her. jared padalecki (tv gilmore girls) memorably manages to overcome his underwritten role. robert richard (tv cousin skeeter) and jon abrahams (meet the parents) do not have much to work with and but get the job done. with only one scene and damon herriman (soar) makes an unforgettable impression and and his presence hangs over the rest of the film. finally and brian van holt (basic) is superb and threatening in a dual role. once more and kudos must go to the screenwriters for avoiding clichés whenever possible. despite popular opinion and house of wax is quite unpredictable for a majority of its running time. take this for example represent it seems as if the killer is down for the count and carly bends down to retrieve something from his pockets. what do you expect to happen. see the movie and and you will understand what i mean. it is also refreshing to see a horror film in which the characters show even a modicum of good sense. unlike most horror scores and john ottman exhilarating work never distracts. however and as with dark castle other releases and the visual aspects of wax are award worthy and and lift the film above its genre trappings. the talents of cinematographer stephen f. windon and production designer graham walker and art director nicholas mccallum and and editor joel negron highlight the ghoulish imagery. speaking of imagery and i believe that the gore hounds will be thrilled with the many makeup effects and tricks in store here. each death scene is more stomach churning than the last. considering his past in music videos and commercials and it is obvious that jaume serra has a great eye for style. his in your face approach is a great asset to this film success. just when you think the camera will turn away and it does not. he is also particularly good a building thick layers of dread and atmosphere. one standout shot is our introduction to the killer and as he slowly emerges from a trap door. in a case like this and i would usually admit when i am in the minority (shut up and okay. i liked house of 1000 corpses. ). in this case and i firmly that the detractors have gotten it wrong. i am not sure why people are so hard on this film and considering it much better than recent genre entries. maybe theyre afraid to admit that a horror flick starring paris hilton could possibly be worth watching. who knows. this is a horror film and and a commendably stylish and effective one at that. as a lifelong horror fan and all i can say is that i thoroughly enjoyed house of wax and in all of its lurid and sadistic glory. i safely consider it a great accomplishment in modern horror and as well as (along with sin city) the first completely satisfying release of 2005.
