I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
... View MoreSelf-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
... View MoreThe joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
... View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
... View MoreThe sequel stars off right where the first movie ended, but a dismembered hand follows Sarah home and kills her step father. Because nobody believes Sarah's hand story, she is facing jail time. Mark takes Sarah on a journey to find some type of proof to clear Sarah of the charges. This was a pretty decent sequel that was actually funnier than the first. Whereas the original had dark humor, this one has more slapstick humor like Evil Dead II and Dead Alive. Ironically, Bruce Campbell has a part in this movie. It wasn't a big role, but it was very memorable and humorous. There is one thing I was not happy about; the recasting of Sarah. I really don't like when a character is recast, but it makes it worse when the new actor looks completely different. Monika does do a decent job overall. There are some memorable spoofs like House on Haunted Hill, Alien, and Frankenstein. A decent portion of the movie takes place in a medieval land that reminded me of the alternate dimension introduced in the second season of Angel, Pylea. Maybe Joss Whedon was inspired from this movie. The effects are also better, not big studio movie better, but improved from the first. If you liked the first one, you will definitely like this.
... View MoreWriter/director Anthony Hickox cheerfully throws logic, basic sense, and seriousness completely to the wind in this gloriously asinine sequel which finds lone survivors Mark (affable Zach Gilligan) and Sarah (winningly played with considerable spunky charm by the gorgeous Monika Schnarre) traveling through a time portal and getting thrust into a crazy alternate universe where the forces of good and evil battle it out for all eternity. Cranking up the blithely dippy black humor to the gut-busting ninth degree, laying on a handy helping of graphic gore, and paying merry homage to a slew of classic horror items that include "Alien," "The Haunting," "Frankenstein," "Nosferatu," "Godzilla," and "Dawn of the Dead," Hickox takes the viewer on a giddy fantasy adventure that's admittedly cheesy as all hell, but still quite funny and entertaining thanks to its boundless energy and all-out unapologetic stupidity. Alexander Godunov has a ball as wicked black arts practitioner Scarabis, Martin Kemp does well as Baron Frankenstein, and Michael Des Barres is a slimy treat as effeminate baddie George. Popping up in nifty bits are Bruce Campbell (in stellar spirited deadpan form and sporting a nasty open chest wound), David Carradine, Patrick Macnee (briefly back as the jolly Sir Wilfred), John Ireland (in his last movie role as King Arthur), Drew Barrymore, and George "Buck" Flower (who gets killed by a lethal disembodied hand!). The ending credits rap song and accompanying video is simply sidesplitting. Gerry Lively's polished cinematography gives the picture a crisp high-gloss look. Steve Schiff's neatly varied and robust score does the thrilling and flavorful trick. Tremendous goofy fun.
... View MoreIt's not very often that you can catch a horror film that pays so much homage to the genre that is actually enjoyable and not completely painstaking. Whomever was behind the concept of this film and script were clearly have a good time, and personally I thought it turned out very well.Despite the fact that it wasn't a huge budgeted release, everything holds up. It's the imagination that goes into the script ( Yeah, it's all a spin off of other films, but done very well. ) that really brings a cool energy to this film. It'll have you munching on the popcorn.If you're a genre fan, you will get a smirk out of this film. If you don't, I guess you're one of the types that can't have a good time with the horror concept being tossed around into the realm of satire and comedy as it is in this film.I'm really surprised there's not a bit more buzz about this film. I think it's a true cult classic and absolutely surpasses the first in every way. Do what is in your power to see this film if you haven't.
... View Morethis sequel is certainly an improvement rover the original.this one,like the original,is obviously played for laughs.but that's pretty much the only similarity.in this one,the laughs acre actually funny,more often than not.the whole thing is really a spoof of other movies,and works quite well.Bruce Campbell(the Evil Dead Trilogy)has a pretty funny extended cameo which parodies his Evil dead movies and also the 1960's classic The Haunting.The Alien series also gets the treatment here.there are many others as well.the acting is still hammy,and the dialogue is still bad,but this movie has a better story and is more clever.it's not a masterpiece,but there are some good moments.for me,Waxwork II:Lost in Time is a 5.5/10
