4.0 out of 5 stars Paris Hilton Song, May 25, 2005

I really really enjoyed the movie. I wasn't expecting an oscar winning movie, unlike you haters out there, but I was entertained and thats what matters. For the future readers who are dying to know the name of the song that Paris Hilto strips to, its called AUTOMATIC by Brothers Conti. They're this new duo so it might be kind of hard to find their stuff, their album hasn't even come out yet, but that same song is on mcdonalds commercial. Hopefuly this helps!

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Winner for Ottman, May 16, 2005

This review is from: House of Wax - Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)

I personally enjoyed this soundtrack greatly. I love John Ottman's style and manipulation of instruments to get the specific effect he is looking for. His use of choral voices, celesta, and organ tie the score together very well. I have not seen the movie and don't really have any desire to see it, but when I heard Ottman was going to be scoring it, I counted down the days until the release. This is a great soundtrack to listen to because it comes off sounding like a modern Bernard Herman score from the Hitchcock movies. I'm not saying it is exactly like a Herman score, but if you like that kind of feel, this score is full of modernized versions of the same characteristics. I hope I've been of some help, and if you get the soundtrack, enjoy!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Its not half bad though the movie sucked, July 11, 2005

I loved the first eight tracks you know with my chemical romance, disturbed, bloodsimple, etc but after that the last 4 to me shouldn't have even been on the cd. I know there are alot of other songs that they could have decided because one minute you have the first couple of songs with great sounds and powerful words etc etc but than the next your wondering where does this song fit in with the others. I say if you should buy it for the majority of the great songs but if your the type that should like an entire cd don't buy it.
