It's about a group of young people who are going to watch some game in another city which they are driving to. However their car break down and they get stuck in a small town were they find a house made out of wax.
I was pretty sure this movie was gonna suck big time. First of it's a remake, and most remakes that come out are often really really horrible ones with a few exceptions.
Secondly Paris Hilton's in it and I was pretty sure she was gonna drag this movie down a whole lot, but after watching it I was kinda surprised since she actually managed to give an ok performance and we also get to see her die which was nice.
The movie starts out like your typical teen horror movie and in the beginning I kinda yawned a lot and didn't feel too positive about it, but from like 20 minutes into the movie it all got better and stayed like that till the very end.
The acting is not terrific but it's ok for what it is, but the best thing about this movie are the death scenes. People get killed in a lot of cool ways and it's worth viewing just because of that.
The story is nothing special really but it's cool anyway and the movie is fast paced ones it gets started and delivers in the end too. It has some cool scenery and it's somewhat intense at times. Definitely worth a look.
