Blu-ray Review: House of Wax (2005)

The year is 2005. Yet another horror remake - a trend that's dominating Hollywood - hits theaters with a music video/commercial director making his first feature at the helm. Not only does it share little in common with the original film, but it more closely resembles an unrelated horror movie. The nail in the coffin is the casting of a notorious socialite in a prominent role. It's not difficult to see why horror fans were prepared to hate House of Wax upon its initial release. And many did indeed dislike it, but the passage of time has allowed for reassessment. I'm pleased to tell you that it's better than you remember.

House of Wax was Dark Castle Entertainment's fifth production, returning them to their remake roots that launched them with House on Haunted Hill and Thirteen Ghosts (before branching into original horrors with Ghost Ship and Gothika). The script, written by Chad & Carey Hayes (The Conjuring, The Reaping), maintains only a kernel of the 1953 original’s concept - itself a remake of 1933's Mystery of the Wax Museum - and, in fact, plays more like a Tourist Trap redux. At 113 minutes, it's also far longer than it needs to be with a first act that seems to last an eternity. Yet, for all its perceived faults, director Jaume Collet-Serra (Orphan, Non-Stop) delivers an enjoyable slasher flick that makes good on the wax motif.

The plot follows a group of friends - heroine Carly (Elisha Cuthbert, 24), her rebellious brother Nick (Chad Michael Murray, One Tree Hill), her boyfriend Wade (Jared Padalecki, Supernatural), her best friend Paige (Paris Hilton, The Simple Life), Paige's jock boyfriend Blake (Robert Ri'chard, Coach Carter), and Nick's goofy lackey Dalton (Jon Abrahams, Scary Movie) - on a road trip to Baton Rouge for a big college football game. A camp-out in the woods ends in a spat with a local and one of their cars being sabotaged. Stranded in a virtual ghost town stopped in time - were the main attraction was once a wax museum - they meet a mechanic, Bo (Brian Van Holt, Cougar Town), who offers to fix their car. One by one, the friends soon fall victim to Bo's murderous twin brother, Vincent (Van Holt in a dual role), who wears a wax mask to hide his disfigured face.

Cuthbert is strong yet vulnerable as the final girl. Van Holt is impressive in both parts; sinister as Bo and channeling Leatherface's brute intimidation as Vincent. Murray's character arc is obvious from the start, but he embodies it well enough. Hilton was obvious stunt casting - one character carries around a camcorder, seemingly for the sole purpose of alluding to the actresses' real-life sex tape - and she lacks charisma on screen. Despite their best efforts, the other co-stars are all one-note. Not only is the cast populated by hot, young stars from hit TV shows, but the soundtrack is also a time capsule of 2005; it kicks off with Deftones and concludes with My Chemical Romance over the end credits.

Arriving in the era of Saw, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes, Wolf Creek, and Hostel, it's no surprise that House of Wax has a mean-spirited streak. Despite several gnarly set pieces, however, it's not as "gritty" as many of its contemporaries; perhaps it's the embracing of the slasher formula, but there's a knowing wink of fun to the proceedings. This is best exemplified by the memorable finale set in the titular locale as it melts to the ground. Collet-Serra and cinematographer Stephen F. Windon's (Furious 7, Star Trek Beyond) sleek visuals certainly don’t hurt.

The aesthetic can be fully appreciated via the new 2K scan of the interpositive and 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio for Scream Factory's Collector's Edition Blu-ray. The special features aren't particularly substantial, as there is no new input from Collet-Serra, the Hayes brothers, or the producers, but the disc boasts four fresh interviews. The main draw is hearing from Hilton, who takes pride in her death scene, from the lifecast of her head to the cruel "See Paris Die" marketing angle. Ri’chard recalls working with Hilton at the height of her fame, including the paparazzi that followed her. Makeup effects artist Jason Baird reminisces about his work on the film, earning him the unique "wax body supervisor" credit. Composer John Ottman (The Usual Suspects, X-Men: Days of Future Past) discusses recording the score with an orchestra in an old church and finding the musical themes.

Archival extras are also included, the highlight of which is 26 minutes of B-roll and bloopers with split-screen video commentary by Cuthbert, Hilton, Murray, and Padalecki. Filmed shortly before the movie's release, the cast members display a lively rapport while watching along together. Two featurettes - Wax On, about creating the town in the middle of Australia, and The House Built on Wax, focusing on the visual and special effects - feature input from Collet-Serra, producer Joel Silver (Die Hard, The Matrix) of Dark Castle Entertainment, and other crew members. Additional special features include a brief promotional video from Silver; an alternate cold open in which a young woman's (Emma Lung) car breaks down and she is killed; EPK interviews with Cuthbert, Murray, Van Holt, Hilton, Padalecki, Abrahams, Collet-Serra, Silver, and producer Susan Downey (Iron Man 2, Sherlock Holmes); a gag reel; and the theatrical trailer.

House of Wax is available now on Blu-ray via Scream Factory.
