M.D.C. - Maschera Di Cera
''Wax Mask'' ( it, M.D.C. - Maschera di cera) is a 1997 horror film. The film is set in Rome where a Wax Museum has opened up, whose main attraction is gruesome murder scenes. Shortly after its opening, people began to vanish as new figures appear in the museum. After witnessing the poor state of Lucio Fulci's health in 1994, Dario Argento decided to help Fulci by working with him to develop a new project. The two eventually agreed upon a remake of '' House of Wax''. Pre-production lasted longer than expected as Argento had been working on his own film '' The Stendhal Syndrome''. Fulci died in 1996, which led to Argento having special effects artist Sergio Stivaletti enter to direct the film. Stivaletti changed the film's script to focus more on special effects. Plot The film begins with the murder of a couple in Paris during the year 1900 by a masked man with a metal claw that he uses to rip out their hearts. The sole survivor and witness to the massacre is a young girl, Sonia, w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
