The main draw of these low-budget horror pictures is their unabashed affection for the great horror movies of the past. In Waxwork, Zach Galligan and his teen friends investigate a wax museum, where they are menaced by the re-animated tableaux. It's about as energetic as a wax dummy. The sequel is livelier, with Galligan now passing through a time portal that transports him to various classic film scenarios: Frankenstein, Dawn of the Dead, Alien, and, briefly and amusingly, Nosferatu (that's Drew Barrymore as one of the virgins cowering in bed). But why no parody of Vincent Price in House of Wax? It goes on too long, but there are weird celebrity guest stars aplenty (Bruce Campbell, David Carradine, Martin Kemp). Director Anthony Hickox helmed both offerings, without quite deciding how much humor was too much humor. In short, genre cultists are pretty much the exclusive audience here. --Robert Horton

TAKE A CLOSER LOOK!!!!!
Waxwork and Waxwork 2 are very inovating horror films. Now we can enjoy both movies on one disk!!! Great "POPCORN" movies from the "AWESOME 80's!!! I just purchased this dvd and Waxwork pt 1, is the UNRATED version... so your seeing all the blood and gore, especially in the Wereolf and the Vampire slayer scenes. Waxwork--UNRATED and Waxwork 2---RATED R. Hope this helped anyone. "Steak Tar Tar anyone?" ENJOY!!!!

Giggles 'N Gore for a cheap price
Artisan does it again by releasing this great double feature DVD. If the original Waxowrk wasn't good enough, you also get its awsome sequel. For those of you who haven't see Waxwork, don't be fooled into thinking this is going to be a totally serious scary as hell movie. I is actually very toungue in cheek and has many funny moments. In the wake of Re-Animator, there were many immitations on mixing humor and gore, and Waxwork is one of the better films to come out of the mix. The sequel is almost just as good as the original and portrays many cameos that you will recognize (Bruce Campbell and Drew Barrymore to name a few). Two very entertaining film a cheap price. Now te downside. Originally when Waxwork was released on VHS, it was released in two seperate verions: an R-Rated and an Unrated. Sadly, the R-Rated version is the one present on the DVD which makes me worried that the Unrated will never be released. Another complaint is the picture quality. Artisan needs to start remastering these things. All their double feature DVD's are grainy. But that aside, don't let those downsides stop you from purchasing this DVD, its well worth it.

Relax your Twisted Mind
This has it all. Make some time for Halloween Night, a bowl of popcorn, lights out, and enjoy this gory/bloody/funny treat. Every classic ghoul you were born to love is back. Goofier and more violent then ever. Enjoy! Sends shivers of joy down your spine. This out of control film will put a smile on every horrorfanatics face. If it dosen't, then you still have the spine chill effect. Happy Halloween 2003!! Waxwork baby!!!
