Why Buy A House of Wax (Widescreen Edition) starring Chad Michael Murray, Paris Hilton, Elisha Cuthbert, Brian Van Holt, Jared Padalecki?
You know the one about the group of horny kids who get offed one by one? Yeah, so do director Jaume Collet-Serra and his screenwriters, who have updated an old Vincent Price flick and sandwiched it between hearty slices of The Blair Witch Project and various Friday the 13th films. Lots of WB and Fox network hotties–including 24s Elisha Cuthbert, One Tree Hills Chad Michael Murray, and, well, Paris Hilton–have car trouble and stumble onto a town populated by real killer personalities. The R-rated result is fairly gruesome and, though no one ever quite looks frightened enough, Collet-Serra knows his way around a jolting suspense sequence or two. Cuthbert and an unintentionally funny Murray (striking ludicrous poses as some kind of real toughie) act more like angry ex-lovers than the fraternal twins theyre supposed to be; Hilton acts bored while her real-life video scandal is exploited for ironic kicks; and the film heads shamelessly over-the-top with each new twist. As an exercise in bloody mayhem, it has a few novel touches, but you can easily find better scares. –Steve Wiecking

Good service
Very pleased with the seller and product. I would buy other products from this seller.

Excellent Service
Disk was brand new, I received it within three days. Very fast and I would do business with them again.

Impressive
I’ve noticed a new trend in the newest horror movies lately where things seem to have gone back to nothing gorey happening until half way through the movie, like they did 20 or 30 years ago. It is like this in House of Wax. I’m not sure whether I like this new development or not but it works with House of Wax.

It starts off with a theme that many other horrors movies have used; a group of teenaged friends have car trouble in the middle of nowhere, half of the friends stay at the car and the other half go to a nearby “deserted” town in search of help.

This is a slasher movie that kills the charactors in origional ways, sometimes involving wax and I was impressed with how gorey this movie was for a fifteen.

Impressive slasher movie with plenty of gore and a good ending. And, come on, who doesnt love it when Paris Hilton gets killed? .

House of Wax Blu-Ray
I really enjoyed this movie, kind of a guilty pleasure. The story is decent, the suspense is good, the acting is pretty good considering Paris Hilton is in it. It’s not the scariest movie you have ever seen but its a very well made horror flick. I was very pleased to see that the transition from DVD to Blu-Ray went well. The movie looks great in High Def.

PARAMOUNT PICTURES Threshold – The Complete Series starring Carla Gugino, Brian Van Holt, Brent Spiner, Rob Benedict, Peter Dinklage – Save 43% Today!

Why Buy A Threshold – The Complete Series starring Carla Gugino, Brian Van Holt, Brent Spiner, Rob Benedict, Peter Dinklage?
THRESHOLD is a suspenseful drama about a team of experts who are assembled when the U.S. Navy makes a chilling discovery: an extra terrestrial craft has landed in the mid-Atlantic ocean. Dr. Molly Anne Caffrey (Carla Gugino) is a government contingency analyst whose job is to devise response plans for worst-case scenarios. In a single instant, her life changes when one of those plans–THRESHOLD–is activated by Deputy National Security Advisor J.T. Baylock (Charles S. Dutton). Armed only with her hypothetical strategy to address the appearance of aliens on earth, Caffrey now finds herself thrust in the midst of a global crisis. She hand-picks a team of eclectic specialists to prepare for first contact: Dr. Nigel Fenway (Brent Spiner), a disillusioned NASA microbiologist; Lucas Pegg (Rob Benedict), a brilliant but neurotic physicist; Arthur Ramsey (Peter Dinklage), an expert in languages and mathematics; and Cavennaugh (Brian Van Holt), a highly trained covert operative with a mysterious past. Together, they decipher the intention of the craft, the fate of the ships crew and begin preparations for the possibility of a crisis situation–an alien invasion.

“Beginning of a great concept that ended too soon”
“Threshold” is a sci-fi show about aliens but you never see them. What you have is the impact of an alien invasion. Once again, a T.V. show canceled too soon before it has a chance for an audience. It is a compelling series that introduces the threat of an alien invasion and the implementation of a government plan when it happens. Many times while watching, I wondered if our government really has a contingency plan for this scenario.

“Threshold” is comprised of a top secret team of experts led by Dr. Coffey (brilliantly played by Carlo Gugino)to investigate and contain the threat. Brent Spiner (well known for Star Trek: The Next Generation) is amazing as one of the scientists on the team. The writing is excellent and the story moves at a fast pace. It keeps your attention throughout each episode by the interesting characters, shocking moments and suspense. The special effects are also done well and are very realistic.

I recommend watching the extras on the DVD set-especially about the development of the series. The plan was for three years. The first year: the threat of aliens termed “threshold”, the second year: the appearance termed “foothold” and the last year: the control termed “stronghold”. What a shame the series didn’t have a chance to finish its’ course.

Great series
This was a great series that I enjoyed when it originally aired. I was very disappointed when it was cancelled but am very glad to find it available on DVD. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys good sci-fi storylines.

Great SciFi Cut Just In It’s Prime.
This show could have been the next X-Files and CSI all rolled into one of the best conspiracy plots made. The cast had “chemistry”, each had their own character development with great potential for more. Every episode “built” upon the overall plot and gave the show growth without being the “same old, same old” alien invasion of Earth. And when you find out the true reasoning of said invasion, it’s a twist out of left field for sure. You begin to wonder if we can win this one this time…or even should we? The last four episodes were not aired during prime time showing but the Sci-Fi Channel did during the marathon runs during the weeks spread out. This is the kind of Sci-Fi that true-thinking fans like, not the usual creature of the week, etc. A lot of thought was put into the developement of this show and I am glad that the show was given the time to close out the plot (no matter the ending outcome) before the show plug was pulled. So many shows just leave you hanging unresolved when the networks pull the plug. This series will make an excellent addition to any SF, mystery fan. Don’t miss this one if you’ve not seen it.

A series before its’ time
This program was recently re-released on Universal High Definition channel. My kids and I looked forward to a new episode each week. We were shocked to find out that it was originally aired in 2005! Based on the popularity of the new show Fringe, I think it’s safe to say that this series was released three years too early. It would be nice to see it make a comeback. We love this series that exceeded the excitement threshold, pun intended.
