House of Wax (2005)

About the only thing that this has in common with its 1953 ancestor of the same name is the title and some figures made of wax. In this version, however, the house of wax is literally made of wax (as is everything inside), and when it catches on fire it creates a climactic inferno that Roger Corman would be proud of. The most memorable scene in the film is a deadly game of cat and mouse set in an old abandoned movie theater that is still playing What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? It's too bad the audience for this film has probably never heard of that film, nor are they likely to realize that this is a remake. Classic movies and giant pools of melting wax aside, this movie has nothing going for it. Someone pass the No-Doz.
