Samson in the Wax Museum 2005 Horror Movie Review

  Remember folks not even Babe Ruth hit a homerun every time he came to bat.Santo(Samson)in the Wax Museum was the eigth starring role for “el enmascarado de plata"and the third that was dubbed into English.With a script that borrows elements from both House of Wax and The Island of Lost Souls you would think that this would be as much over the top fun as Santo vs.the Vampire Women or Santo vs. the Martian Invasion.But it isn’t.The cheap sets just look cheap and the story drags.Santo himself just seems to be going through the motions in this one.Not that anyone was ever going to confuse him with Olivier to begin with.I guess the film’s lack of charm has to be blamed on director Alfonso Blake who directed the classic “.... vs.theVampire Women”.The movie is entertaining. It’s just not as much as fun as some of the other films in the Santo canon.
