The Wax Mask **½
Original title: MDC: Maschera di Cera
Italy: Sergio Stivaletti, 1997 In my opinion a step above Dario Argento's The Phantom of the Opera, this Argento-produced loose remake of The House of Wax was originally designed as a vehicle for Lucio Fulci, but when he abruptly died, the reins were given to Sergio Stivaletti. Stivaletti does a fair enough job, but I can't do much with the muddled script and terrible digital effects. That said, the stalk scenes are suitably tense, and the cinematography by Fulci mainstay Sergio Salvati is excellent, recalling Argento's Inferno. One has to wonder what this film would have been like had Fulci been able to see it through. IMDB reference

Movies
Welcome to the movie checklist!
This section is an archive listing every movie I've seen from January 1 2005 onwards. Films I have already seen are included and will be marked with a (*), but probably won't be reviewed except under special circumstances. I will be including a rating for each film (in stars, out of 5), and hope to be able to include a brief 1-2 paragraph review of each film, although due to time constraints that won't always be possible.
