Bo takes them to his house where he keeps extra car parts but reveals himself to be a psychopath alongside his brother Vincent (also played by Brain Van Holt). While exploring, the couple of Carly (Elisha Cuthbert) & Wade (Jared Padalecki) discover just how lifelike the wax models are before they run into Bo (Brian Van Holt), the local mechanic. ![]() Ambrose is a virtual ghost town that’s central feature is a wax museum made of actual wax! It’s a long old drive that ends with some of them in the town of Ambrose looking for a fan belt to fix a faulty car. Jump in time to 2005 where a group of friends, family & couples are heading to a huge football game. The mother is making a wax mask that the violent child knocks off & shatters on the floor. So much so that they tape him into his high chair! All parents can sympathise. ![]() The movie opens in the past as we see two parents struggling to control one of their sons. Funny enough, she’s not the worst thing in it (although she is pretty bad). It doesn’t matter if it was necessary or not, it’s here & it’s got Paris Hilton in it. It’s also worth remembering that the 1953 classic was a remake of the 1933 movie, The Mystery of the Wax Museum. This is a re-imagining in every senses of the word. It’s so far removed from a remake with almost no connections at all. Here’s the thing…you can’t hold this movie up against the original. High praise indeed…watch House of Wax (2005), there is so much worse out there. It has some poor acting & terrible characters but there is so much worse out there. I don’t think I fully understand the hate that surrounds this remake/re-imagining.
