Ill Lucio Fulci was supposed to make this movie but he died while filming didn't even begin. It was then passed on to Stivaletti. It oozes with Fulci's style and violence, even if only as an influence, but it feels like a real movie rather than a hour and a half long show of Fulci's effects. However, where the movie fails is making us viewers care for the characters and the story, since we know from the beginning who the culprit is. Robotic terminator stuff at the end of the movie doesn't help either, and what little style and good ideas there were are ruined by showing too much. Still, "The Wax Mask" is a decent watch for a horror movie fan accustomed to Italian horror works and there is a decent bit of nice looking nudity, but other than that "The Wax Mask" isn't really a must watch, so I recommend this one only to the hardcore fans of the genre. 6/10!
