3/10
A stone cold film.
19 February 2007
Not original or entertaining in the least. From the very first minutes it's clear that you get another version of any Wax Museum films which have been pouring out of different film studios since the early 20s: beautiful girls are boiled in wax and displayed as models in a horror section of a museum (in this case a mill-museum). The action takes place sometime around the last turn of the century. The mill looks nice, otherwise there aren't so much interesting locations - nor interesting (or beautiful) actors to that matter. It just drags along, and once you've figured the plot out, you also know, that it ends with an inescapable fire, that destroys the mill and lets the good young couple escape in the nick of time. It's really much more interesting now that I tell it, than it is on the screen. Somehow, in spite of an occasional Hammeresque look, this film doesn't sparkle in the least. If you're interested in the subject, there are much, much better films, most of them containing the word "Wax" in the title.
