Watch Waxwork For Free

I love this movie so much

The Worst Film Ever

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

I saw this as kid or teen at some point and found it fun. Mind you I was very into B Grade horror,so my tastes were odd. It's a silly film and the acting is mediocre at best but if you can take it for what it is, a fun homage to all things horror,with some camp and comedy tossed in you might enjoy it. The thing that bugged me most was Dracula and the dinner scene(you will see). I don't think vampires eat that....but whatever

"Waxwork" is a horror film written and directed by Anthony Hickox, who is also known for Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat (1989) and Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992). Six students - Mark Loftmore (Zach Galligan), China Webster (Michelle Johnson), Sarah Brightman (Deborah Foreman), Gemma (Clare Carey), James (Eric Brown) and Tony (Dana Ashbrook) - walk past a wax museum owned by the Waxwork Man (David Warner) on the way to high school and decide to take a look inside. They find a number of well-known macabre and bloody set pieces including Count Dracula (Miles O'Keefe), The Phantom of the Opera, the Marquis de Sade (J. Kenneth Campbell), and The Wolfman (John Rhys -Davies). Each ventures beyond the ropes into a set piece of their choice and find themselves in a waxwork world come to life and part of the story being portrayed. They then find themselves randomly teleporting from the wax museum into the waxwork worlds and vice versa.Plot in simple terms has a bunch of pretty young adults unwisely accept an invite to visit the mysterious new wax museum that has suddenly appeared in town: At midnight! What follows is a number of stories that find members of the group magically transported into the realm of an exhibit, such as werewolf, vampire etc, and end up as part of the exhibit themselves. Can the hero in waiting save the day? It's a fun homage of a movie, playing very much firmly with tongue in cheek. The presence of some horror stalwarts in the cast is reassuring, and the effects work isn't half bad. Some of the acting is poor from the younger cast members, and while it's not hard to forgive a low budgeted movie its failings, it's still annoying that the actors playing the wax models can't keep still, while the set nearly falls down at one point. The photography is also too cloudy at times, Gerry Lively's filters straining for colour ambiance.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

I have to say I rather enjoyed this film; however, that being said I actually enjoyed the sequel to this one more. It may be because I actually saw the sequel first or more likely that film featured Bruce Campbell and he was absolutely hilarious in it! Still, this one was good too, just not quite as good. I felt some of the scenes felt a bit too rushed, while others went on a bit too long. It is by no means an anthology film, but it does feature different sectors as it were. Took me forever to finally sit down and watch the whole thing, like a number of other films, it was one of those that I caught a piece here and there, but never sat down and watched the entire film and as I said, it was pretty good. There were numerous stars in it and it has David Warner who kind of reminds me of a John Carradine type actor in that he is a good actor and he appeared in good movies, but once in a while he would appear in a totally horrific film. This is not the case for this one, as this film has some good points, but it still is not a big Hollywood release either. He makes a fine villain for this one. Zak Galligan of Gremlins fame is the lead, and he is okay in it, but he kind of played almost two characters in this one. Not sure why he never appeared in more stuff, he was usually pretty decent in most of the films I saw him in and he was better in the sequel to this one. John Rhys Davis is also in this film, but not for a very prolonged period.The story has a waxwork open in a very peculiar place in the middle of a neighborhood. As two girls pass it, the owner appears and invites them to a special late night viewing, but he wishes for there to be no more than six people. Well, they go, but this place has a deadly secret as two of the group ends up inside the displays as one seems transported to another world! One of them ends up in a forested area where a deadly werewolf lurks while the female ends up in a vampire's castle. Zak Galligan's character goes to the police when his friends end up not showing up and the police officer does not believe him at first, but there is something about the waxwork that bugs him so he returns only to find himself walking into a display and ending up in a mummy's tomb! The waxwork has a deadly secret and it must be uncovered or it may mean doom for the earth! So pretty good and it had some rather good gore effects. I enjoyed the vampire setting the best as it was rather good and bloody. I also liked the fact that the police officer in this one actually did not dismiss the possibility that something was wrong with the waxwork. It did a lot of things good, but I still feel the sequel was a bit more superior as it added a few more crazy touches, though this one did a nice job of displaying a lot of classic monsters. I was not to wild about the whole whipping area as there was nothing really that horrific in that area. You had monsters in most and it was kind of a shame we didn't get to see more as there was one featuring pods and another featuring a killer looking baby that may have been a bit more interesting to see play out. Still, overall, it was a nice visit to the waxwork.

Wasn't too crash hot on it the first time I saw it, but after this repeat viewing it was kind of better, but still not without its problems. Genre director / writer Anthony Hickox makes his debut with the morbidly tongue-in-cheek horror "Waxwork", which is a very silly, if gimmicky shocker with some impressively creative scenarios like when our heroine (Zach Galligan) finds himself transported into the black and white world of "Night of the Living Dead". Mark and a group of friends pay a midnight visit to a strange waxwork museum which has opened up in their neighbourhood overnight. The museum if filled with horrific displays of classic monsters; Dracula, the Wolf man, The Mummy, Phantom of the Opera and so son. Before they know it they find themselves drawn into the displays and becoming apart of that world and also possibly a victim. The concept is ambitious and downright inventive (in how it brings it's monsters alive and breaking the narrative into abrupt segments), but what occurs is conventional and there's a real uneven tone that turns what could have been disturbing into a ridiculous, eccentric and stupid outing that caps it off with a cheesy climatic showdown. It doesn't hold back, especially on the blood and gruel. It's vigorous in details and somewhat cruel. Hammy acting by most (led by David Warner and Patrick Macnee), but Zach Galligan and Deborah Foreman were agreeable with Michelle Johnson and Dana Ashbrook rounding off the cast. Also look out for Miles O'Keefe and John Rhys-Davies in bit parts. In all a fun cast working with a smarting, if smug script filled with references, self- parody and goofiness. Where the highpoint arrives from is the use of colourful make-up FX, waxwork designs and stylised visuals despite its limited scope. The project feels like a labour of love for Hickox. Someone who enjoys old classics of the genre in reviving them to post- modern times in "Waxworks". "This isn't my idea of fun".
