Review of House of Wax

I urge the people who saw "House of wax" (2005) to have a little look at De Toth 's little gem.They will discover a movie with a good screenplay ,an unusually inventive use of colors and a strange fascination for History,particularly French history,for both Jeanne d'Arc and Marie-Antoinette play prominent parts in the story.Joan of Arc in a museum in flames ,it defies realism!The atmosphere is constantly disturbing ,in the streets where a ghostly shadowy figure pursues Sue or in the museum where doe-eyed Cathy seems so much alive.This is Victorian fantasy and horror tale (as there is the Gothic style) of the first order.
