Jordan To Produce DC’s Static Shock Movie, Will ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ Open on Christmas? A remake of the 1933 film Mystery of the Wax Museum, House tells the story of "Professor" Henry Jarrod (Vincent Price), a gifted turn-of-the-20th century New York City wax figure sculptor who shuns sensationalism in favor of historical exhibits. Contains the old DVD extras, as well as new ones including an interesting commentary track. The stereo sound was very good, but it was limited to the actual width of the movie frame itself, not extending outward any wider than the actual screen image. The biggest 3D attraction stateside this year was Pacific Rim, which came close to a 50/50 split, a far cry from the 70-80% 3D shares of Tron: Legacy and Alice in Wonderland in 2010. In 2013, it's unusual to encounter a catalog film given brand new bonus features. The restore is great, but not brilliant. At the same time, the grounded, historical perspective pinning 3D as a cyclical fad was accurate too. She thinks she's got the big scoop she needed, but proving her outlandish theory isn't easy. The final extra is Mystery of the Wax Museum, the 1933 Warner film that House loosely remakes. The static menu takes Warner's simple standard approach, playing score over a wide rendering of the cover art.
Eighty years of wear and tear, including reel change markers, are quite evident. qacct:"p-caylC79f5NIGI" Jarrod's museum attracts some business, but not as much as his macabre competitors and not enough to satisfy his partner Matthew Burke (Roy Roberts), who is looking to sell his share. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Highly Recommended for Vincent Price fans. That was needed to allow time for exhibitors to change reels and synchronize the two side-by-side projectors, a process that likely precluded the movie from running any longer than 90 minutes. Florence looks into the death of Gale, for which Gale's unfaithful millionaire playboy boyfriend is soon jailed on murder charges. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 December 2018. Sound is presented in 2.0 DTS-HD master audio and I'm ashamed to have taken it for two-channel mono, now having heard the documentary talk it up for being one of the first films to make use of a three-track stereo soundtrack.
Digital 3D has caught on far more extensively than all of the dimensional technology it succeeded. His offer to split the payout with Jarrod understandably rejected, Matthew alone seems to survive the museum fire. House of Wax gets not one, but two substantial additions for its Blu-ray debut. google_alternate_ad_url = "http://www.ultimatedisney.com/contest/dmcad13.html"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; While touring the museum, Florence notices a striking resemblance between the Joan of Arc statue and the late Ms. Gale. He takes his revenge on Burke and then sets about recreating his exhibitions in a House Of Wax horror show, this time through diabolical means. I'm disappointed that such a great classic horror film looks no better on blu ray than on the DVD I already own. Gladly, though guilty of some gimmickry, House is actually a very well-made and suitably creepy thriller.

The inclusion of this original film alongside its remake is highly relevant and adds considerable value. var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true}; _qoptions={ It's tough to believe a film as good as this would be advertised in such a way. That House is set in the early 1900s does not appear to be of great consequence to anyone but the costuming department. Complicating the case is the mysterious disappearance of Gale's corpse from the city morgue.

Very happy with this purchase. Video Extras Subtitled At my first attempt at obtaining the DVD, Amazon said that this title was unknown but only three days after this I got a post on Facebook about Mr. Price, With a dialogue from the ghouls and goblins who said it was available at Amazon which I quickly ordered!!! Warner's Blu-ray retains that intermission but with a momentary screen indicating it lasted ten minutes in theaters.
The artist turns to cheap thrills just as the film turns to 3D for spectacle. google_ad_client = "pub-9732201945510416"; Blown away by Jarrod's lifelike creations, respected art critic Sidney Wallace (Paul Cavanagh) considers buying out Matthew.
The biggest 3D attraction stateside this year was Pacific Rim, which came close to a 50/50 split, a far cry from the 70-80% 3D shares of Tron: Legacy and Alice in Wonderland in 2010. Still, it’s an effective history lesson and a testament to how important House of Wax was to the development of 3D technology and Vincent Price’s career.
Reviewed September 29, 2013. It simply found great success that led the format to spread and subsequent 3D productions to be judged against it. So you see, I had, to own this Vincent Price Classic!!! At the titular newly-opened museum, Jarrod abandons his principles and embraces the shock value of the horrific. It's almost impossible to make a big-budget movie without a 3D version. Thus, the sound wouldn't extend any wider than the actual image today. The two-strip Technicolor, then quite a unique feature, is largely faded. google_color_border = "537737"; Excellent Blu-ray upgrade contains both the original 1933 version with Lionel Atwill and the more famous 1953 version with Vincent Price, which also contains a 3D option with those who have a compatible TV of course! There was certainly great depth and who can forget those paddle balls right into our face. Director: Michael Curtiz / Writers: Don Mullaly, Carl Erickson (screenplay); Charles Belden (story) It simply found great success that led the format to spread and subsequent 3D productions to be judged against it. Or rather, it might not seem prestigious until you watch everything on this disc and come away with a deep appreciation for what you might easily mistake for a horror B-movie. Domestically, fewer than one-third of opening weekend moviegoers opted to see the 3D versions of the summer hits The Great Gatsby, World War Z, and Monsters University.
The paper's editor (Frank McHugh) threatens lady journalist Florence Dempsey (Glenda Farrell) that she'll be fired if she can't come up with a big story fast.
No one should mind that that ill-received, underperforming 2005 remake goes completely unmentioned on this set. It gains insight from a host of experts, including famous admirers like directors Martin Scorsese, Joe Dante, and Wes Craven and make-up artist Rick Baker, friends of director Andre de Toth such as animated 98-year-old actor Norman Lloyd, Vincent Price's daughter Victoria, and 3D historian Eric Kurland. That does not, however, quench the suspensions of Sue, whom Jarrod wants to model for his new Marie Antoinette figure. Alive but horribly scarred, Jarrod transforms into a murderous madman. time is spent on the irony that this 3D movie was directed by the one-eyed de Toth, who insisted that festivals screened the 3D version -- and no question unanswered -- e.g. Unfortunately, a number of shots are lacking in focus, sometimes to an extreme where the 2D version feels like you're watching the 3D version without glasses on. Mystery of the Wax Museum No B-movie, this spooky 1953 hit holds up remarkably well, as does the less gimmicky, more dated thriller it remakes. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. Like Avatar, House was not the first to introduce new technology. Shame to the telly stations that don't play the Horror Genera any more!!! Maybe its trailer should have been included just for the heck of it? An added treat to this pressing is the complete Murders in the Wax Museum, the original two strip Technicolor film of House of Wax with Fay Wray playing opposite a different kind of monster, not quite as large nor hairy but twice as scary for those days. That's right, the film is once again presented in its entirety. google_alternate_ad_url = "http://www.ultimatedisney.com/contest/dmcad9.html"; DVDizzy.com | DVD and Blu-ray Reviews | New and Upcoming DVD & Blu-ray Schedule | Upcoming Cover Art | Search This Site. Blown away by Jarrod's lifelike creations, respected art critic Sidney Wallace (Paul Cavanagh) considers buying out Matthew. The film is defined by its technology in a few minor ways.
