Wax Hurts

About This Movie

So, Wax Hurts is one of those oddities that really sticks with you. The tone is this eerie blend of dark humor and unsettling moments, combining to create a sort of uncomfortable atmosphere. It feels like a mix of surreal horror and a twisted take on everyday life. The pacing can be a bit uneven, almost like it’s mirroring the erratic nature of its characters. There’s a rawness to the practical effects that adds to the film's overall weird charm. Performances are kind of offbeat and maybe not what you expect, but they fit really well with the vibe of the movie. It’s distinctive in a way that makes you think about it long after you’ve watched it, and that lingering feeling is something special.

Wax Hurts is somewhat of a hidden gem in the collector community, with its obscure director and unconventional approach making it a topic of interest. Finding a good-quality print can be tricky, as it didn’t see a wide release, and some editions are quite rare. Its unique style captures the imagination of collectors who appreciate the odd and unusual in filmmaking.
