House of Wax Synopsis & Movie Info

Synopsis

In this re-imagining of the 1953 horror classic, a road trip takes a turn for the worse for a group of college students when they decide to camp out for the night. They awake to find that their car has been deliberately tampered with, and afraid of being stranded, they accept a local’s invitation for a ride into Ambrose, the only town for miles. Once there, they are drawn to Ambrose’s main attraction -- Trudy’s House of Wax, which is filled with remarkably lifelike wax sculptures. But as they soon discover, there is a shocking reason the exhibits look so real. As the friends uncover the town’s dark secrets, they are stalked by a demented killer and find themselves in a bloody battle for survival. -
