'The Wax Museum' is a very disappointing film. It seems to promise it will deliver some good shocks and scares, when actually it does nothing of the sort. Fay Wray, is completely over the top, and Lionel Atwill takes 'pervy old man' to a whole new level.
It obviously revolves itself around 'Phantom of the Opera', 'House of Wax' and other gruesome creature movies, but all in all, it doesn't really work. It's also filmed in a horribly naff half colour, half sepia lens, making everything and everyone seem all the more grotesque. I just didn't find the film enjoyable.
