House of Wax (1953)




Charles Bronson - House of Wax




Excellent Technicolored 3-D re-make of another film, "The Mystery of the Wax Museum", a thriller about an artist who becomes deranged after a fire and, unable any longer to model the figures himself, takes the short-cut of killing the required subjects, stealing their bodies and coating them with wax! A most effective thriller. 1
