House of Wax is a 2005 horror movie directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and starring Elisha Cuthbert, Chad Michael Murray, and Paris Hilton. The movie follows a group of friends who are on their way to a college football game when their car breaks down in a remote area. They find a nearby town that seems abandoned, except for a strange wax museum that is filled with disturbingly realistic wax figures.
As the group starts to explore the museum, they start to notice oddities and begin to realize that the wax figures may not be the only thing that is artificial. Soon, they are terrorized by a twisted family of murderous psychopaths who have been turning their victims into wax figures in their museum.
The group must fight to survive against the deadly family and their macabre art. As they try to escape, they discover the horrifying truth about the wax museum and the family that runs it.
House of Wax is a remake of the 1953 movie of the same name and was praised for its intense and suspenseful atmosphere, as well as its impressive wax museum set pieces. It also received attention for the surprising performances of some of its cast members, including Paris Hilton in a memorable supporting role.
