After being horribly scarred by a Hollywood producer, a makeup artist seeks revenge by paralyzing his actors and putting them on display in a wax museum.
Despite some talented actors in the cast, this is a lackluster horror film mining the same ground that others have done far more effectively before. Establishing Mitchell as the mentally unbalanced villain early on removes any suspense from the proceedings, and the police's failure to identify him as a prime suspect is one of several preposterous plot holes in the screenplay. The film's still watchable, and the cast do their best to elevate the material, but it's not enough.
