Reviews:

The movie isn’t perfect but very fun, well thought out and put together well. I strongly recommend this to fans of horror.
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.

Excellent concept, decent execution.
That sums up what happens with writer / director Anthony Hickox’s film “Waxwork”, which puts its own ’80s spin on the classic wax museum horror story.

A delicious David Warner plays an evil waxworks owner with very special displays – they draw people in, the people are taken back in time, get killed, and then become a permanent part of the displays. The displays feature such classic fictional and historic monsters as a werewolf, Count Dracula (Miles O’Keeffe), a mummy, a group of zombies, the Marquis de Sade (J. Kenneth Campbell), Audrey II, etc. Warner is all about destroying the world here, because, as he puts it, “somebody’s got to do it”. Among the heroic characters who catch on to his scheme are “Gremlins” star Zach Galligan as Mark and ’80s sweetie Deborah Foreman as Sarah, who worked again with Hickox on “Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat”. Fortunately, Mark has an ally in his fight against evil, his godfather Sir Wilfred, or Wilfie if you prefer, (ever delightful Patrick Macnee), who joins in the final big battle with a tricked out wheelchair.

The movie is good fun, from start to finish; it’s spirited entertainment that’s nicely realized visually with fine production design (by Gianni Quaranta), costumes (by Leonard Pollack), and cinematography (by Gerry Lively). In true “Night of the Living Dead” tradition, the zombie sequence is in black & white, which only adds to the appeal. A good supporting cast also features Michelle Johnson (“Blame It on Rio”), Dana Ashbrook (‘Twin Peaks’), Clare Carey (‘Coach’), Charles McCaughan as the exasperated detective, and a too briefly seen John Rhys- Davies (“Raiders of the Lost Ark”) as the human incarnation of the werewolf. True enough that Galligan isn’t playing the most engaging or likable hero here, but Foreman more than makes up for that with her sunny presence. O’Keeffe is of course stiff as always, but Warner and Campbell are great villains.

Hickox gets things off to a highly amusing start with an unlikely choice of music for the opening pre-credits bit, and keeps things interesting and entertaining. When the final battle takes place, with Sir Wilfred and his associates taking on their formidable opponents, the results are too hard to resist. Makeup effects are by the talented Bob Keen (“Dog Soldiers”, “Hellraiser”, “Candyman”) and his Image Animation company, and are generally pretty good.

By the time this movie is over, it literally brings the house down, and while it could have used a little bit of tightening, it still manages not to overstay its welcome, and has some nice moments along the way.

Director Hickox appears in a small role as the depraved English prince.

Followed by “Waxwork II: Lost in Time” in 1992.

Seven out of 10.
