Customer Reviews of Waxwork II: Lost in Time

A much better parody of horror movies than Scary Movie.
Damn, this movie is great! It's so bad, it's great. Of course, the director meant for it to be bad. The Wax museum from the first burns down, and Zach Galligan's character is blamed for it. Now, him and his girlfriend must go back in time to right their (supposed) wrongs. A lot of cheesy special FX and one of the most sickening head-crushing scenes I've ever seen on a movie. (The lead singer of Spandau Ballet gets his face crushed by Frankenstein until his eyes, as well as his brain(?) pops out.) The Aliens parody is hilarious, as well as corny (which makes it hilarious), and the scene with Bruce Campbell is way over-the-top...that's the only way to put it, watch it and you'll see, and watch for the cameo by Drew Barrymore toward the end. All this and a bad, bad, bad rap video during the closing credits...what a great movie.

SERIOUS FUN
If you don't have a sense of humor or an appreciation for classic horror you won't like this film. It's a montage of homage that is devoted to capturing the pace, direction style, acting style, dialogue etc. of such films as Alien, The Haunting, Dawn of The Dead, Nosferatu on a relatively low budget. The pared down scenes accentuate the spoof sentiment and remind us why horror is fun. Take the Alien scene, hard talkin', pulse rifle carrying space marines complete with transmission samples as background juxtaposed to the reefer madness-esque black and white, highly stylized scene of The Haunting. Battling evil can be funny and Bruce Campbell's cameo, as well as others, lends support. If nothing else, it's a treasure hunt for horror genre fans.

a sequel to a dumb movie
this is a notch better then the original only because of the black and white bit with Bruce Campbell, he's the highlight in this movie. the cast like Zach Galligan, David Carradine, Martin Kemp, Michael Des Barres,Alexander Godunov and Maxwell Caulfield who is horrible gay are completely and utterly wasted and if you want to see a gay, and I mean gay apprentice, Des Barres is all that and a bag of chips. the beginning is sucky and the ending is suckier. Hickox is a horrible director. the rap song at the end is snazzy and catchy. look for Drew Barrymore in a cameo in the bit where Galligan and Godunov go threw time fighting, look for her with another girl in that Nosferatu bit.
