A mysterious wax museum is filled with controversy when people go missing and die. Not-soon-after we see new wax figures inside. Coincidence? You'd think that combining the talents of Lucio Fulci and Dario Argento that they'd make a good horror film, but not in this case. The story was written by the two great directors, but it's just too bad Dario couldn't step behind the camera, because I think it would have been a better film.
The plot is just about a new wax mesuem opening in a small town. A man is dared to stay the night there and end up dead the next day. More people turn missing and the wax masuem may be the key to it all.
This movie basically borrows from many other films. It has a lot of similarities to films like Phantom of the Opera and, yes, even Terminator . I thought the acting was decent and so was the directing. It had a good amount of gore in certain parts of the movie, but not a lot. There were some good computer-generated effects in parts of the film as well. I thought that was one of the stronger points of the movie.
The story is predictable and cliched from the start. I would have given the movie a lower-rating, but I found it to be interesting and I liked some of the effects. The ending, however, was one of the silliest ending's I've ever seen. That's where the Terminator reference comes in .
