Don't expect anything special from this movie. As long as you go in with expectations of a standard horror movie with all the genre cliches, you'll be perfectly happy with what you get. The best clue about what is going on is probably in the title - if you hadn't guessed, it involves turning humans into wax (I don't think that's giving too much away...).
There's nothing wrong with House of Wax. It knows what it is, and is a perfectly enjoyable, fun (if you like this sort of thing) Friday night movie. Just don't expect to need to engage your brain. Oh, and although it's officially a remake of the 1953 version, apparently they're nothing alike. I haven't seen that one, so I can't comment.
Rating: 3 out of 5
