Such an enjoyable and interesting film which kept me gripped and involved as I tried to figure out the twists and turns as they happened on screen. House of Wax proves once and for all that true stereo combined with perfect color and directional sound is truly a visionary new and exciting medium.
Price can't help but to be perfect as an evil mastermind, tossing about ominous stares and deceptively gentle chatter. Vincent Price is the man â?¥ A must see horror film, in the standard of the past was considered very chilling. Vincent Price is simply phenomenal in his role and it's understandable why he's such a horror icon. This was the first mission of its kind during the Revolutionary War.
