I like it enough though it gets a bit <i>too</i> goofy at times.
This was a theatrical film, not DTV.

Yeah, they weren't dead, just infected. The movie even suggests that those shot in the head still aren't dead! Just immobilized.
I was only 11 or 12 but I intended to. I remember calling the local theater about it a few times. Initially it was undetermined, then it was a possibility they would pick it up in its 2nd week, but finally they said that they weren't going to book it because it hadn't done too well in larger cities in its opening week.
I always felt imdb ratings skewed a bit low in general. I doubt anybody rated it low just because Paris was in it. She did alright and anybody who disliked her to that extent likely avoided the movie entirely. I'd sooner chalk up the rating to young Paris fans watching it, thinking it was "gross", not liking that Paris wasn't in it that much and not liking that she was killed.
But the rating seems reasonable enough. I gave it a 6.
Also, the plot isn't based on the 1953 "House of Wax" (which isn't the original, it is itself a remake) but on "Tourist Trap".
I wouldn't say that's accurate. You're forgetting that the Jacksons (the kids I mean) were brought up to be stars. It's not like Michael went out and achieved fame and Janet road in on his coattails. I don't think her success relied on his at all because the Jacksons (the parents) still had relationships with those in the industry. Several of the kids had recording contracts and that's all that you needed at the time to get your foot in the door with a new artist like Janet. After that, it was all in the hands of the label and MTV, neither of which required Michael to be a successful solo artist. If it were that simple, Janet wouldn't have been the only other one to make it.
Now had the Jackson 5 never been successful, Janet would've had a harder time. That's assuming the family's contacts in the industry originate from that. If they were actually due to some other circumstance, like extended family being IN the industry or something, then even the Jackson 5's success wasn't really needed for Janet.
According to C.C. it means nothing. It was a placeholder lyric that they decided to keep.
Yes, it was shown in Baltimore as "The Weekend it Lives".
Theatrical...
