A Frank Review of "Nightmare in Wax" (1969)
The Short Version? The Garage of Wax
What Is It? "Horror."
Who Is In It? Nobody.
Should I See It? No.
The House of Wax is a classic film shamelessly and artlessly ripped-off by this floundering feature. The main differences are that this was contemporary instead of a period piece, none of the acting or effects are any good, the cinematography is a muted mess, plus there's no goofy anaglyph 3D to lend any cheese factor. The killer's technique doesn't make a lick of sense, the cops in this program are morons, and the only thing worse than the non-story is the cop out ending. Terrible from front to back. Completely worthless.
