House of Wax - 1953 ****



How people can choose the nauseating 2005 version with Paris 'stupid' Hilton over this I can't imagine!

Vincent Price is excellent as always, this time playing a talented sculptor who creates wax models of famous people in history to put in his museum. Things change however when his so-called friend whom he had made a partner to decides to burn down his museum and in the process belives that he has killed Price.

Of course he hasn't! Vincent is soon back as strong as ever, and (unknown to his 'friend') this time working on a new collection of murdered people from the past. Some of them look almost lifelike...

It's a bit of a cheesy film, but good fun and although you sort of know what's going to happen that doesn't stop you enjoying the legend that is Vincent Price. A saturday afternoon cosy film!
