House of Wax 🎥 2005 Movie Info

Plot Summary

En route to a football game, Carly Jones, her delinquent twin brother Nick, her boyfriend Wade Felton and their friends – Dalton Chapman, Paige Edwards and Blake Johnson – set up camp for the night in a wooded area. A stranger in a pickup truck arrives, then leaves after Nick damages one of the truck’s headlights. The next day, Wade discovers his car’s fan belt has been severed; a local named Lester offers to drive Wade and Carly to the nearby town of Ambrose while the rest of the group head to the game.

In Ambrose, which is virtually a ghost town, mechanic Bo Sinclair offers to sell Carly and Wade a fan belt and drive them back to their car after he finishes attending a funeral. While waiting, they visit the central feature of the town – “Trudy’s House of Wax”, a wax museum-like tourist trap which is itself, like everything inside, made of wax. They follow Bo to his house to get the fan belt; Carly waits in his truck while Wade goes inside to use the bathroom. Wade is soon ambushed and abducted by Bo’s twin brother Vincent, who wears a wax-made mask to cover his facial disfigurement from when they were once conjoined.

When Carly notices Bo’s truck has a broken headlight and realizes it was he who visited the campsite, she flees with Bo in pursuit, ultimately being caught and taken to the local filling station’s cellar. Realizing they will not arrive at the game in time, Paige and Blake return to the campsite while Nick and Dalton arrive in Ambrose to look for Carly and Wade. When Carly attempts to call for help, Bo cuts off the tip of her index finger. She eventually gets Nick’s attention as he fends off Bo and rescues her, while Dalton finds Wade as part of the House of Wax, restrained in coated wax.
