[The News Bot]

House of Wax is a perfectly reasonable addition to the ever-burgeoning horror genre. Whilst it is a remake and is not particularly imaginative, it does nevertheless benefit from an unusual setting and some gruesome deaths, which is more than many horror remakes have these days, what with the omnipotence of the PG-13 rating. The DVD presentation is pretty good, with a solid picture and a decent soundtrack, along with some nice extras (the novel commentary option and the deleted scene are particularly good for this release) If you liked this movie, this release is well worth picking up, but if you have not seen it then it is maybe worth a rental first to test the waters.
