IMDB Synopsis:
Wealthy slacker college student Mark, his new girlfriend Sarah, and their friends are invited to a special showing at a mysterious wax museum which displays 18 of the most evil men of all time. After his ex-girlfriend and another friend disapear, Mark becomes suspicous. What he doesn't know is that they have been made a part of the exhibit, by first living out the scene and then being murdered in it.

I'm thinking I might make one to keep in the trunk of the car though. Might be nice to have hot water if I ever have to watch a Matthews compound for 3-4 days hoping to get the drop on Sergio Frenchi. - Neon Bolan

I like it, it's one of the first Horror flicks I remember seeing as my local Fox affiliate played it among others a lot on weekend nights years ago.

It still holds up, though it's probably pretty goofy to those without the nostalgia, Rent it.

I went with "recommend it," though it's probably more of a rental unless you like '80s cheese.

Which I do...

I LOVE this movie! It was one of the first horror movies I remember seeing and I remember when I went to sleep that night (I was about 8 or 9 years old), I covered myself completely in my blanket because I was so scared that one of those monsters was going to come and get me. I watch it today and it seems a wee bit campy, but that's the fun of it.
