Waxwork
heard about this movie but I didn't read the plot before, As was thinking, this Wax people will come to life and kill off teens one by one, I was really shocked that it's wasn't what I was expecting, which is a good thing, I liked the movie takes some times so you get to know teen before going into the movie. I really liked some first Wax story about werewolf was good effects in that movie, that part and I didn't like second that much at all and third the police man was funny. There were some very funny moments in this movie, that made me laugh out loud. I really liked how the movie flowed never once did it get boring and at a lot of stuff was happening, Great fun and movie
A handful of college students attend a late night opening of a wax museum and, if they cross the rope into the exhibits, they get sucked into the worlds of the exhibits themselves where they encounter werewolves, zombies, vampires, and mummies. A really fun, tongue in cheek monster mash kind of movie along the lines of The Monster Squad or Night of the Creeps. The cast is engaging and likable and the effects are wonderful for such a low budget film. Some pacing issues show up after about the 45 minute mark, but things heat back up again in time for the finale.
Waxwork is another VHS cover classic from 1988 available on Tubi for free. The movie is delivered by Anthony Hickox (Waxwork 2, Hellraiser 3 and Warlock). The storyline is fairly straightforward when some high school kids discover a new waxworks exhibit in town and decide to schedule a private tour amongst friends. As the exhibits come to life they realize the exhibits may be more than they anticipated. The special effects in this movie are fantastic for the time. I also enjoyed the cast, which gives you 80s nostalgia, very much including Zach Galligan (Gremlins), Michelle Johnson (she's in one of my favorite Tales from the Crypt episodes), Deborah Foreman (April Fool's), David Warner (Tron) and Michu (Alf). The movie isn't perfect but very fun, well thought out and put together well. I strongly recommend this to fans of horror. I would give this a 7/10.
There is something about episodic horror movies that I love. Maybe it harkens back to my youth, when I devoured the EC Horror Comics reprints. Something about each individual character having his or her own interesting death always has been a kick ass idea to me. This movie is great. Each character faces his/her own nasty (extremely gory) death scene in different "exhibits" in the wax museum. A darn good time and some seriously great gore FX! Loved it. 8/10
Not exactly an Academy Award winner here, but this film is just fun. Director Anthony Hickox set out to make a fun horror spoof and he succeeds very well at it. Zach Gallagan once again stars as the almost nerdy unlikely hero. The film pays homage, firmly tongue in cheek, to the classic horror movies of long ago, and David Warner shines as the demented owner/creator of this wax palace of horrors. Yes the plot is predictable, but who cares? This is a film meant to be fun and it is fun. Patrick MacNee is delightful as always. Johyn Rhys-Davies is sort of wasted in the small role they give him, but is good as ever. Dana Ashbrook could have used a little more screen time but he is at his smart-ass best in this film. All in all just a fun evening. Anyone looking for something more needs to see the original "House of Wax(1953)" with Vincent Price.
