Elisa Cuthbert is somehow made less attractive in this movie about friends headed to a game who end up in a small town with a wax museum.
The first thing of note is that Paris Hilton is one of the friends. She doesn't do a horrible job either, but I liked her other film better. Seriously, she doesn't completely suck, but that's because her character is based on her (snobby bitch).
Being a slasher flick there are plot holes everywhere, but the premise is unique to this era (props to Vincent Price). I really did like the setting and the killer, but I didn't like how the killer's motivation was never explained. In fact, early on in the killing the film was REALLY dark in its potrayal of the killer. I mean, the fucker was brutal. However, it stuck to standard conventions after the initially impressive moments.
Other than that it's pretty standard as are the characters. The stupid chase and fight are in the end as is the stupid horror twist.
I'd recommend it for horror fans.
5 out of 10. Points for the setting, the early brutality, and for killing Paris Hilton. (Yeah, it's a spoiler, but you knew she'd die.)
