Wonderful Movie

Good concept, poorly executed.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

An Exercise In Nonsense

I can't believe that there are any users who take life so seriously as to give this movie a bad review. Don't listen to the naysayers! Awesome cameos by cult favorites like Bruce Campbell, Drew Barrymore, and David Carradine. This movie tackles multiple genres in irreverent and entertaining style. In my opinion this is better than the original, although Sarah in the original movie was much cuter. If your idea of a good start to a Sunday is eating Grape Nuts, taking a jog, and then coming home to button up and put on a tie on your day off stay away. Otherwise, grab yourself drink, a snack, skip the shower, and be a bum with this flick. Perfect.

Will the sequel be as interesting as the first film? Writer/director Anthony Hickox brings us another homage to movie monsters. Zach Galligan returns as Mark, who survived the first film, along with a new Sarah (Monika Schnarre), but it is the appearances of Drew Barrymore and Bruce Campbell that peaks my interest.Viewers of the first film know that a zombie hand survived along with Mark and Sarah. The hand kills Sarah's step-father and she and Mark have to travel through time portals to find evidence to clear her.This film has blood and gore, but it is more of a spoof than a horror film. They end up first with Dr. Frankenstein and his monster. As they escape, they get separated and Sarah is playing Ripley fighting Aliens, while Mark is with some ghost hunters.They rejoin each other and end up in the Middle ages. All sorts of interesting characters come into the picture, including Jack the Ripper, zombies, Hitchcock, Nosferatu, and even Godzilla. The fascinating thing about the film is trying to identify all the films it spoofs.It is interesting fun.

this 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

Waxwork 2 (1992) * 1/2 (out of 4) Waxwork 2 has very little to do with the first film and how the two are tired together is fairly weak. The two survivors from the first film think they are safe but a hand escaped the wax museum and followed them home. That night the hand kills Sarah's stepfather and she is accused for the murder, which also ties her to the wax museum so she is changed with killing those people. The court isn't buying the hand thing so Sarah along with Mark must travel back in time to collect evidence to clear her.This here is where the film takes off but instead of wax figures we are dealt several short stories that try to pay homage to previous horror classics. The first adventure has the due battling Dr. Frankenstein and his deformed monster. Up next we get a spoof of Robert Wise's The Haunting as well as a Aliens spin. Dawn of the Dead, Nosferatu, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Jack the Ripper are amongst the spoofs here. The film pays homage to at least fifteen other horror classics as well.I'm really not sure what to say about Waxwork 2. For starters, the film is pretty much far away from the original film so I'm guessing the title was just thrown on there to attract fans of the first film. This film has some very good moments but the thing simply runs way too long. This movie should have ran no longer than 80-minutes but instead we get 105-minutes worth of spoofs, which sometimes work but more often than not they fall flat on their face. There's some gory action, which is fun but we've still got way too much to sit through just for that. Fans of the Evil Dead series will enjoy the cameo by Bruce Campbell.
