Nobody's going to be impressed with the technical virtuosity on display in the cheesy 1988 horror movie Waxwork... It's all extremely messy, but executed with passion and more subversive glee than most 1980s horror

…Waxwork is a cheeky film that’s weathered well in terms of recasting the way popular characters are used within a meta-narrative; it’s certainly well ahead of it’s time in the 80’s…

3.5/5

Hickox never pretends his film is more than it is, sticking to what makes it good: the near surreal atmosphere, great monsters, a dash or five of blood.

A wonderful camp 80s horror movie where the owner of a museum who has sold his soul to the devil must kill people to bring all of the monsters and killers from hell to earth. Those that cross into exhibits end up being the victim in the display at the museum, great vintage horror,

Fun, high-concept 80's cheese that feels a little too Charles Band-y for my tastes.

Great idea for a movie. It had its moments of greatness but other times it fell a little flat.

El comienzo de la historia es entretenido pero ya después no es la gran cosa cuando meten que quiere destruir el mundo y bla bla bla.
