Feels good, man.

House of Wax - 3/10. Continues to be a great conceit. I'm only now realizing that the style of horror for the past ten years was to be 'One Tree Hill' for the long, desperate hour before someone finally dies. A lot of character development for people you don't really care about. Interestingly enough, or maybe probably not interesting at all, the two best bits of horror didn't involve anybody dying – the girl gets the tip of her finger cut off and the dude becomes a living wax doll, which is an awesome idea which could have been played longer than the minute of screentime it gets. That besides, all of the deaths were boring.
