House of Wax

This horror remake fills its myriad of plot holes with twisted kill scenes and Elisha Cuthbert in a tank top, leaving a slasher flick that's only fun while the killing's good or the running's fast. Extras include footage of the production crew erecting the wax–figurine-filled ghost town and an effects special on how to kill, maim, and make candles. An alternate opening adds one more gruesome murder to the flick's body count, while the blooper reel highlights the lighter side of mentally ill serial killers. For film buffs, there's even an outtakes reel with cast commentary, where Paris Hilton drops gems like "My boobs look cute," and "I look like I have a dildo on my head." James Lipton, you've been warned.
