- ConnectionsReferences House of Wax (1953)
It spins off direction so much that you lose interest in what should have been an interesting subject.
The extra characters are ridiculous left wing stereotypes that are just annoying and wish weren't in the film. It hard to tell whether this was aimed at discrediting left wing politics or if the director actually believes this.
Such a waste of a good idea.
