Visually pretty cool. The melting wax looks trippy. I found taking a classy movie and adding Paris Hilton and homicidal rednecks didn't do it much good. I also think remakes should have a clearer intent than this movie did. Paris was not completely abhorrent as...well, Paris. I think one of the first steps to getting decent acting out of somebody is writing a part that actually requires them to act like anything but themselves, since after all, thus far Paris Hilton has proven herself inept at everything but being Paris Hilton. She was born ready to inherit money for being born Paris Hilton, continues to squander money made from being Paris Hilton. I would have liked to have seen a PART written for her, so she would have to utilize some modicum of skill.

One of the things that bugged me about this movie...
And alot of horror movies, really. Is the absence of rape. I mean...at one point, the House of Wax killer disables Paris' heel with a knife... She's wearing barely a teddy... She's on the ground, begging for her life... And this dude's already committed countless murders, so it's no like he's got ethics and morals... Why, at this point, doesn't he rape the hell out of hot ass Paris? Why don't alot of movie killers rape? That's one of the reasons I liked Devil's Rejects so much... That movie showed that a killer, with nothing much to lose... Who treats the law like it doesn't exist... Is capable and will exercise his ability to commit rape. It just doesn't seem realistic that other movie killers don't... Especially when they're the type of killer that doesn't lead a double life... It's not like they have the chance to get sexual gratification anywhere else...they don't date. Why wouldn't they rape? Especially when the female victims in horror movies are almost always super hot. It doesn't make sense.

In response to Rawhead Rex's comment:
The thing is that the urge toward rape and the urge toward murder don't necessarily stem from the same psychological processes, although admittedly they often do. Both come from a need to completely dominate and establish power over another individual, but they manifest in different ways. Although reading this much into it is probably excessive, I must admit. In response to GOODandEVIL666: My apologies. Your earlier comment rubbed me the wrong way, but I really shouldn't have let it set me off that way. All's forgiven on my end, so I hope we can let bygones be bygones.

I couldn't bring myself to watch this movie. It just seemed insulting to the original. Besides, Paris Hilton and Chad Michael Murray make me want to gouge my eyes out and step on them. She looks like a giraffe in a mini skirt and he seems like a pompous little puke.
