3D was as much a cancer on films 50 years ago as it is today. Heaps of pointless scenes that were clearly thrown in purely for their 3D effects that try and distract you from a weak plot that had a mildly interesting premise and set up. At least it has Vincent Price in it.

Not one of Price's best movies, but one of his more interesting roles. The film is pretty cheesy at times, but always very fun. The melting wax figures are genuinely unsettling.

Great movie, all the wax people were so creepy, and Price's performance was brilliant! There was suspense and action too. I really enjoyed this movie, and I recommend it.

Contains the worst 3D gimmick (Paddleball Man haunts my dreams...), but also some legitimately terrifying imagery.

suç, cinayet, seri katil, tekerlekli sandalye (yeni yapimdan farkli bir film, filmde balmumu heykeltrasi arkadasinin sigortadan para alabilmek icin dükkanini kundaklamasindan sonra seri cinayetlere baslar. Bir süre sonra actigi sergide arkadasinin balmumu heykelini gören kadin durumu fark eder.) renkler çok güzel 53 yapimina göre, kesinlikle korku filmi degil, daha cok suc filmi.

The opening 15 minutes are magnificent and, while the rest of the film struggles to live up to them, Vincent Price is great and the sense of horror is very well done.

Wonderful! Price is so creepy, and has so much adoration for his wax people. He's a man with goals, and your being alive just happens to be in the way of them. What a neat villain. The setup at the beginning takes a while, but the payoff is absolutely worth it. Really eerie and good.

Films of the pre-60s are bad. They are sexist, the men are always ugly (why?) and annoying, they have torturing long talking scenes, cheesy music and a boring storyline. The only best thing about is the women -- Most are quite pretty. Btw, why is that the films in that age are always boring? I thank them, cos without them, there would've been no modern films.

Large swathes of this are corny as hell, which is expected, but there's a really refined sense of menace and dread running through the film.

Vincent Price tries his best with Phyllis Kirk but while an admirable attempt with nude Phyllis curling her toes in torment the madness of Atwill and the perfect victim of Wray just can't be captured again even with the aid of 3-D. Overall this flows better and does include a burlesque dance number and you can't go wrong with Price or tantalizing Phyllis so it's well worth the price of admission.

Great payoff, while the setup is slow and boring, it builds momentum throughout. Great underrated horror flick, with Price in my top 10 killers of all time after watching this.
