Appoloin Prodigis I know, I really wanna see the Dawn of the Dead remake, or do I? Tell me... I thought it was pretty good. I can't see why some people don't like it. neutral Because the remake kills every theme about consumerism and how modern culture relies heavily on the shopping mall. Have you thought about that?

Um...no. I've always judged movies based on how good they are not primarly on what morale values they express.

Appoloin Um...no. I've always judged movies based on how good they are not primarly on what morale values they express. Yeah, but to remake a film primarily about those themes and remove them completely from the story just leaves a hollow shell. Those elements are what made the original Dawn of the Dead stand out from other zombie films. The Dawn of the Dead remake is like Army of Darkness without Bruce Campbell. Devoid of the signature elements and personality that made the original stand out from other genre flicks, the remake is, therefore, completely forgettable.

Yes, but most of the population won't go to see the Dawn of the Dead remake or any remake for that matter, and think about what social or polotical themes it expresses. And personally I can't see how the remake takes away those themes. The original to me stood out and had a very deep impact because it set off the whole zombie genre.

The_Wicked_Man Local newspaper hated the film. Even though Gene Seymour gave it two out of four stars, the review reads like a hilarious Roger Ebert pan. "Here we go again. Obnoxious kids get lost in the woods. Look for help. Find a spooky house that's--yes--made entirely of wax. Carnage ensues, but you'll have to wait a while. Use the time to ponder how Vincent Price's death 12 years ago left the world a drearier place." --Gene Seymour, Newsday. I'd love to copy and paste the entire review, but that would be wrong. If you want to have a good laugh though, you can read it here. I watched that episode where Roger Ebert hated it, but Richard Roeper gave it a thumbs up. It's funny to see their reactions.

I remember seeing that, too. Roeper actually thought the movie was an intentional campy comedy like Dead Alive or something, but Ebert delivered the best zinger. I forgot what exactly he said, but it was something along the lines of, "I think Paris was an excellent casting choice; she makes the perfect blonde bimbo slut."

Classic made into another frustrating teen movie!
Replacing horror with gore is not cool !
Being a big horror film fan and also a big vincent price fan this flick was just another frustrating teen slasher.It already lost 5 points for being funded by dark castle.
This "re-make" didn't even follow the original storyline,the original didn't have murdering perverted hilly billies and a group of meddling kids that got lost while going to a football match!
A complete waste of money and perfectly good popcorn that I almost threw up because of ..yes,their acting and of course those grusome FORCED death scenes.The best part was when paris gets brutally murdered(tee-hee).
On the whole this movie is just a good laugh.Even funnier since I was histerical while my petrified friends where more interested in why the heck I was laughing rather than in the film.

Yeah I saw House of Wax and I thought it was an okay movie - not really that bad, and not really that good. Just my opinion though
