On Television

Sounds like the casting agent works at Fox.

A remake. A movie with Paris Hilton. House of Wax is a remake starring Paris Hilton, Elisha Cuthbert, and that annoying dude from that WB show One Tree Hill [Chad Michael Murray]. I don't know why I rented this in the first place. With the exception of Elisha Cuthbert, the cast doesn't really make my list of favourite actors. I really wanted to hate this movie but I didn't. I was surprised with House of Wax. While none of the actors are going to be winning Oscars anytime soon, the story wasn't as horrible as I was expecting. A group of college students are going to a football game and end up camping out overnight on the way to the game. Some weird things happen and wouldn't you know it, one of their cars won't start. A couple of the kids end up in this weird town with a wax museum where the statues are made of people [just like Soylent Green - it's people]. More weird things happen and a killer is on the loose looking for a new wax model. Guess what happens next? While I don't think I can quite recommend this movie, it was entertaining enough to view from start to finish with a few scares.
