 
Two
teenage twins named Carly (Elisha
Cuthbert) and Nick (Chad Michale Murray)
go on a trip with their friends into a
deserted forest to have fun for the
night.
They encounter a vehicle with a driver
inside of them staring at them and then
the driver leaves.
The next day, one of the kids' vehicles
is damaged and needs a fan belt so, they
try to go into town to get something to
repair their vehicle.
They encounter a strange man in a pick-up
truck dropping off roadkill. Carly and
one of her friends named Wade (Jared
Padalecki) gets a ride from him.
There they encounter a quiet little town
that is apparently deserted.
They meet up with a man named Bo (Brian
Van Holt) at a local church there who
works at a gas station as they buy a
piece of equipment at his station to fix
their car.
They also encounter a House of Wax museum
but it looks very strange.
Later on they get a ride from Bo as he
needs to pick something up at his home
and Wade uses his bathroom. Wade is then
captured, tortured and then turned into
wax for their display at their museum.
Carly tries to escape and warn others but
eventually they end up getting slayed by
Bo and his more powerful freaky looking
siamese twin brother Vincent.
Carly and Nick tries to find any way to
escape their madness but also finds out
that the locals at the town are built out
of wax that were once people too as well
as the whole town being built of wax.
This 1953 remake
very much resembles to Rob Zombie's
House of 1000 Corpses but
in much better taste and style.
Although the film is not the least bit
original it's still very disturbing and
effective without a doubt.
A creepy feeling with those victims
having wax melted over them so they can't
move or do anything.
The acting is
fairly well done but Paris Hilton
did not stand out at all as usual in her
films.
Elisha Cuthbert and Chad Michael
Murray perform well together as
twins.
Brian Van Holt was great in his
role as the deceiving man Bo as well he
is convincing playing a different
character as his ugly siamese twin
Vincent.
Lots of horror violence
folks.
We get stripped off skin
Waxed heads blown off
Torn off waxed arm
Decapitated head
Wooden spike through a blonde's head
Bo's head being bashed in with a baseball
bat and lots more.
Jaume Collet-Serra knows
what do to make a film disturbing, dark
and spooky.
He had great locations of the vehicle
creeping in on the teens at night as well
as having a creepy touch with the tall
tree's.
The scene between Elisha Cuthbert and
Chad
Michael Murray when she discovers
who he really is was also well directed
and during the chase between her and him
and what he does to her.
We have some wonderful
scary classical music composed by John Ottman
who knows what he's doing for sure with
each scene of this film.
Carly
Jones: [Carly hears a noise
outside the tent] Wade, wake up.
Wade! I heard something.
Wade: Yeah, it's probably the
serial killers or something.
Nick
Jones: [Dalton is filming the
campsite, everyone is making out. Nick
sits alone] Don't even think about
it. There's no way I'm kissing you, dude.
Blake:
[choosing which one to give the keys
to] Actually, Im going to let my man
Drive
Dalton Chapman: [hands Dalton
the keys] You heard the man, get in
the car!
Nick Jones: [squeezes Dalton's
nipple] Give me the keys.
Dalton Chapman: Okay!
Carly
Jones: You have to be careful!
Nick Jones: I am being careful.
Paige
Edwards: Did you find that fan belt
thing or whatever?
[scraping
a piece of the House of Wax off with his
knife]
Wade: It is wax, like...
literally.
Carly
Jones: Please don't kill me.
Paige
Edwards: That's weird.
Bo:
What are you doing?
Carly Jones: Waiting for Wade.
Blake:
Hey, man, turn your lights off.
Nick
Jones: I swear to god if you hurt
her... VINCENT!
Nick
Jones: He did this to you?
Dalton
Chapman: You're just gonna let 'em
leave like that? That guys a freak, he
throws dead animals in a pit for a
living.
Nick Jones: You clean shit for a
living,Mr Septic Tank Man. Whats the
difference?
Dalton Chapman: Well, um - I don't
walk through it. That's one difference.
Carly
Jones: [about the smell] I
think it's coming from over there.
Paige Edwards: [sarcastically]
Yeah, let's follow the smell.
Paige
Edwards: [after giving Dalton a
makeover] He looks like a smurf.
Carly
Jones: I don't believe this. You
steal a car and it's my fault. You evade
arrest and it's the cops' fault...
Nick Jones: One of 'em took a
swing at me.
Carly Jones: You get kicked out of
the house, it's mom and dad's fault. You
lose your football scholarship and it's
the coach's fault! You can't keep a job
for more than two weeks because it's
every manager's fault!
Nick Jones: I'm surrounded by
idiots.
Carly Jones: So then why did you
come, to piss me off?
Nick Jones: Why don't you get it?
You're the good twin, I'm the evil one.
Carly Jones: Grow up. You are so
afraid to take things seriously.
Dalton
Chapman: Hey do you think that Wade
will stay with Carly after she moves to
New York?
Nick Jones: I don't know. Maybe...
Dalton Chapman: Cause you know...
the way shes been lookin at me...
Nick Jones: Hey! It ain't
happening, man. And even if it was
happening - it ain't happening.Nothing
personal
Dalton Chapman: Why's that? I
mean, you like me better than Wade right?
Nick Jones: [sighs] Wade's
not so bad.
Dalton Chapman: Yeah, I like Wade,
too.
Blake:
[after Dalton is given a make-over]
He looks like Elton John, only gayer.
Dalton Chapman: Elton John is gay?
Paige
Edwards: Lip balm. I dropped my
stupid lip balm.
Bo:
Mom would be proud. She always said that
your talent would make up for what God
took away from you.
Wade:
I'm sorry, we just needed a fanbelt
Bo: A fanbelt? You walk in on a
funeral for a fucking fanbelt?
Nick
Jones: You're saying that that's a
real person... underneath?
Trudy
Sinclair: [talking to a young Bo]
Shuddup! Oooh, why can't you be more like
your brother?
Nick
Jones: Ugh, Dalton, did you crap your
pants again?
Dalton Chapman: What? No, I dont
know, maybe. I am wearing my work
clothes.
Nick
Jones: [stuck in a traffic jam on
the way to the game] It's not moving
Blake: It'll MOVE!
Paige Edwards: It's not moving
Blake: It will!
Nick Jones: Turn it around! Dude,
turn the car around!
Blake: [Blake leans his head
down in defeat, hitting the horn and
making it blare]
Carly
Jones: No, there's no-one at the gas
station!
Paige Edwards: We'll meet you back
at camp, but more than a few yards away
from that pet cemetery.
