Movie Reviews of Waxwork / Waxwork II - Lost in Time

Movie Review: Waxwork / Waxwork II: Lost in Time
Summary: 5 Stars

I love horror from the 80's; it's practically its own subgenre. 80's horror was fun, gory, cheesy, over the top and just plain great. Waxwork embodies all of this. This might just be my favorite movie to come out of the eighties, because even though it borrows from classic horror (Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolfman, The Mummy, Invisible Man, etc.), it is still a wildly original movie. Every display in the Waxwork contains a creature or maniac, and every display needs a soul to accompany it. Once all the displays are filled with the requisite soul, all the said creatures and maniacs come back to life. Now the movie definitely has a massive cheese factor in the acting and the seemingly make-it-up-as-I-go-along plot, but that's just part of its fun. The set design, costume design and practical FX work are just amazing, and there's plenty of blood and great kills to satisfy most gorehounds. If you are a fan of 80's horror, this is simply a must have for your collection.

And as a bonus you get the sequel on the same disc. And I have to say the sequel is also pretty great. Not as good as the original, but still awesome. This one has the survivors of #1 supposedly traveling through time, but really they're just traveling through classic movies. You'll notice Aliens, The Haunting, Frankenstein, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Dawn of the Dead and more. But this movie does not rip them off, it's a complete homage. This movie is more about humor and silliness than the original, but it works, but also there's still plenty of gore. Once again the set designs and costumes are top notch, while the effects work is a mixed bag. There is some excellent practical FX work together with some horrendous old CGI. Notable supporting cast includes the late, great Buck Flowers, Bruce Campbell, David Carradine and that guy from Die Hard, sorry, I don't remember your name. Definitely a worthwhile sequel, and just icing on the cake for this DVD release.

Summary of Waxwork / Waxwork II - Lost in Time

Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 08/30/2005
The main draw of these low-budget horror pictures is their unabashed affection for the great horror movies of the past. In Waxwork, Zach Galligan and his teen friends investigate a wax museum, where they are menaced by the re-animated tableaux. It's about as energetic as a wax dummy. The sequel is livelier, with Galligan now passing through a time portal that transports him to various classic film scenarios: Frankenstein, Dawn of the Dead, Alien, and, briefly and amusingly, Nosferatu (that's Drew Barrymore as one of the virgins cowering in bed). But why no parody of Vincent Price in House of Wax? It goes on too long, but there are weird celebrity guest stars aplenty (Bruce Campbell, David Carradine, Martin Kemp). Director Anthony Hickox helmed both offerings, without quite deciding how much humor was too much humor. In short, genre cultists are pretty much the exclusive audience here. --Robert Horton
