House of Wax

The film opens in 1974, setting a disturbing premise as a woman prepares hot wax for mask-making. Her tranquil routine is disrupted by her husband, who arrives with their second son, a violent child struggling to be kept calm in a high chair, contrasting sharply with his more composed brother.

In the present day, six friends gather in anticipation of an exciting football game, each bringing their personal dynamics into the mix. Carly Jones, determined to embrace new opportunities in New York City, is joined by her trepidatious boyfriend Wade and her enigmatic friend Paige, who hides her pregnancy hopes from Blake.

As night falls, the group sets up camp in a remote field, seeking adventure and camaraderie. Their peace is disrupted by a mysterious man in a truck who shines his headlights on them, prompting Nick to throw a beer bottle in frustration, intensifying the group's tension and unease.

Later that night, Carly senses the presence of an intruder, amplifying the group's anxiety. The unsettling feeling of being watched sets a foreboding tone that permeates their camping experience.

The next morning brings rising tension as Wade finds that his fan belt has been mysteriously cut. This discovery prompts Carly and Paige to investigate deeper into their situation as a sense of distrust begins to permeate their friend group.

While searching for help to replace the fan belt, Carly and Paige stumble upon a gruesome scene of roadkill in a ditch, leading to an uneasy encounter with an unkempt man. As they try to secure their safety by opting for Ambrose instead of waiting, a sense of dread creeps in.

Carly and Wade venture into the near-deserted town of Ambrose and discover an eerie wax museum filled with unsettling displays. Their excitement quickly turns to fear when they notice a creepy figure lurking outside, prompting them to seek assistance from a local garage.

While waiting in the car, Carly spots the broken headlight from the truck that had previously harassed them, leading her to warn Wade of impending danger. Soon after, Wade falls victim to a horrific attack, revealing Bo's true malevolent intentions.

In a desperate attempt to escape, Carly is captured and imprisoned in a cellar, silenced with glue by Bo and his brother Vincent. This moment marks a pivotal turn in the narrative, showcasing the true horror that has overtaken the town.

Realizing Carly and Wade are missing, Nick and Dalton make their way to Ambrose to search for them. Their investigation leads to an alarming discovery about the town's dark secrets and the murderous siblings lurking within.

Nick and Carly uncover the grim reality that the townsfolk have been preserved as wax figures. The siblings unite in their attempt to confront Bo and Vincent, culminating in a dramatic fight for survival against their twisted family legacy.

In an intense climax, Nick and Carly face off against Vincent, seeking to break free from the horror that has ensnared them. They ignite the house of wax in a final desperate attempt to escape, leading to a fiery confrontation that threatens to consume them.

After the harrowing escape, the siblings sift through the remnants of the decimated town, revealing the abandoned streets of Ambrose erased from maps. Their escape in an ambulance signifies freedom, but an unsettling realization lingers about the potential survival of the Sinclairs.

As they drive away, they encounter the roadkill transporter once again, serving as a chilling reminder that not all monsters are easily left behind. The open-ended conclusion leaves the audience contemplating the terrifying possibilities that may still lurk in the shadows.
