Al momento, si è verificato un problema durante il filtraggio delle recensioni. Riprova più tardi.
detto questo il film si basa su un misterioso museo delle cere e su la sparizione di coloro che il museo sembra volere.....( non è rose red la casa che uccide gli uomini e tiene le donne gran bel film qui le meccaniche sono differenti)
un film che mi aveva incuriosita parecchio all'epoca lo davano in tv in uno dei venerdi' estivi ' benvenuti dalla zio Tibia'
e puntualmente quando le cose si facevano interressanti avevo il coprifuoco famigliare, l' ho ricomprato e nonostante non sia piu' di moda lo trovo ancora ben fatto e originale orrorificamente parlando
il film va guardato tenendo presente che è della fine anni 80' ma nonostane questo per effetti , idee e interessanti soluzioni horrorifiche è grandioso, non posso dire la stessa cosa del suo sequel Waxwork 2 deludente:(
un museo delle cere particolare forse non la versione + celebre ma secondo me un 5 stello lo merita , per intenditori e per coloro che ricercano vecchi cimeli o amano ancora i vecchi horror stile 80' 90'

The good stuff first: David Warner is as excellent as ever, playing a bog-standard villain. The kind of role that I understand he got bored with being offered. It's not hard to see why this might have been the case given WAXWORK's shallow script. He gets all the best lines and manages to keep his dignity intact throughout and some of the cast are clearly doing their best with this sub-par stuff.
The premise that the waxwork displays are gateways to a realm that becomes deadly reality once you step across the rope barrier is at least an interesting one. As someone who's always enjoyed fantasy, sci-fi and horror I thought that this unusual concept would make for an engaging film (I was tragically wrong). Occasionally there's the odd bit of detail that's nicely added - the strains of SWAN LAKE bringing to mind the Boris Karloff Mummy movie from 1932 and the Black & White zombie sequence that pays homage to George A Romero. A fair bit of the design work is pretty good - the werewolf and the mummy look nice and perhaps the film's biggest selling point is that there are a lot of fun practical effects that nowadays would be done by CGI. If you like your horror bloody and filled with gruesome splatter-y deaths, the film does not short change in this respect - although as has been noted by other reviewers there is considerably less of this by the time the narrative trundles to its anti-climactic last act.
After the attention-grabbing hook of having someone murdered by having their head shoved into a burning fireplace whilst Benny Goodman's Sing Sing Sing ironically plays, things go rapidly downhill with a bunch of vapid rich College kids exchanging cliched and quite dull dialogue that establishes their "personalities", for want of a better word. I found the first ten minutes of getting to meet these douchebags patience-testing and verging on insufferable.
This then is my main beef with WAXWORK in that there is not one single 3-dimensional character in the entire screenplay and therefore why should I care about the struggles that the protagonists are enduring? Everyone is a cartoonish caricature and whilst this need not necessarily have been a problem for the waxwork monsters who are after all simply repackaged classic horror ghouls, if the audience doesn't care about Zach Galligan's Mark Loftmore,(generic preppy dope who comes good in the end) or Deborah Foreman's Sarah Brightman, (yes, this generic good girl type really has the same name as Andrew LLoyd Webber's ex!), then all that comes across is a parade of horror movie tropes shot in a cheese-y pop video style which I suppose is mildly diverting whilst playing out, but lacks any kind of edge or depth to allow you to get invested.
Second big problem is that the structure of the film is a clunky mess. Forget all the fun you might have had when you saw those 1970 's Amicus horror anthologies, this painfully obvious nonsense lacks all atmosphere and charm. The various set pieces feel like they are clumsily bolted together without care or consideration for theme, subtext or indeed anything that would make WAXWORK anything other than the shallow vapid puff of cinematic wind that it undoubtedly is.
My irritation with the film was further exacerbated by some of the performances. Whilst Zach Galligan and Deborah Foreman are clearly trying hard with the material they've got, some of the other turns fall embarrassingly flat. Most notably Miles O' Keeffe, who plays a very underwhelming Count Dracula. When the film's end credits acknowledge Hammer films (among others) as one of the productions' inspirations it got a bitter laugh from me as the "Vampire" section lacks all the rich gothic atmosphere in which the best of the Hammer films were steeped. It also felt utterly wrong to have a Dracula with a US accent. For me he had all the charisma and magnetism of a bus stop.
Poor old Patrick Macnee - ostensibly playing a kind of Van Helsing type here. He looks and sounds like he's given up all hope of bringing any credibility to his role and so simply hams for all he's worth, further reinforcing the idea that nothing of any significance is happening at all.
WAXWORK is called a horror comedy. A misnomer so far as I am concerned as I was never scared and despite David Warner bringing the odd wry grin to my face, I never once laughed.
There are worse films than WAXWORK (I'm informed that the sequel is one of them) but very few - so far as I'm concerned - that spend so much time and energy on wasting the potential opportunities that its set-up promises.
When suburban high school student Mark (Zach Galligan from ‘Gremlins’) is dumped by the clearly out of is league China (Michelle Johnson) - his week takes a turn for the worst. However, when dapper English gentleman David Lincoln (David Warner) invites them to attend a special midnight exhibit at his mysterious wax museum he thinks its a way to get back with her and along with their friends Sarah (Deborah Foreman), Gemma, James and Tony (Dana Ashbrook), they look forward to a night of humorous mystery... Sadly this unlikely event isn’t here for fun ’n frolics and instead each display (involving werewolves, vampires, zombies and pretty much every horror movie monster) is a gateway to another dimension with the wax-like creatures waiting to be born once again as flesh and want nothing more than to consume our hapless teens and ensure they become part of this sordid waxworks - for real!
This one is a riot from beginning and (nearly) end with a fun set of actors (ably led by Galligan) who although at times, stumble in getting the hammy dialogue out - do manage to ingratiate themselves - even if they are at times, ridiculous. The central conceit of the waxwork just appearing out of nowhere in a small conservative town is an amusingly weird one, but once the blood starts flowing you almost forget about this particular plot hole and just roll with it... Director Hickox displays a firm handle on his own material and directs the piece with an assured hand, making you think this guy must have done this before and not at all a feature debut. Its very confident with the stylish cinematography and razor sharp editing (from Hickox regulars Gerry Lively and Christopher Cibelli) perfectly complimenting his feverish eye and expert direction... Kudos too for Roger Bellon’s score which elevates everything beyond what was essentially a direct to video movie back in 1988.
This being the first in Lionsgate’s new Vestron Video line (Vestron was an old studio back in the ‘80s producing a number of low budget horror flicks, with this being one of them) ensures this is a wonderful set with an impressive transfer enlivened by vibrant audio and a plethora of extra features such as a fun audio commentary with Hickox and Galligan, original theatrical trailer, stills gallery and a set of featurettes ‘The Waxwork Chronicles, the making of Waxwork’. All in all, the movie is a 5-star effort for me purely based on my childhood nostalgia when I was literally obsessed with it - and luckily, it still holds up with a real sense of humour and wonderful direction. Combine that with this fine Blu-Ray release and I have no hesitation in recommending this as a solid, slam dunk purchase.
Hickox went on to direct the sequel Lost in Time and a bunch of other gory straight to video horror flicks in the 90's-most of which were also sequels to franchises started in the 80's (Hellraiser 3, Warlock 2).
Hickox's debut seems to ape the over the top splatstick lunacy of Re-Animator though falls slightly short of the cult status it so knowingly assumes.
Structurally it's a mess; a portmanteau flick uncomfortably jammed into three acts. Waxwork also commits the cardinal sin of getting progressively less gory as the film stumbles along to its noticeably anaemic conclusion (the unfortunate reasons for which are revealed in the extensive roster of extras).
Zack Galligan and Deborah Forman are young chain smoking yuppies who investigate a sinister waxwork museum run by a flamboyant and dastardly David Warner (here dressed like an evil Willy Wonka).
Patrick McNee turns up as a benevolent, wheelchair bound saviour who wields a pistol. In a neat twist, rather than having the waxworks come to life, obnoxious characters get sucked into the respective exhibitions where each meets their own over the top demise.
All the old universal and Romero monsters are trotted out and there's a fair amount of old school latex creature fx and gore courtesy of Bob Keen (who would team up with Hickox on most of his subsequent movies).
The clumsy direction and staccato editing style lends the impression that nearly every splatter scene has been bowdlerised despite this latest Lionsgate release (under the newly resurrected Vestron Video label) being apparently sourced from the unrated cut of the film.
It's a worthy release though; the handsomely restored print comes packed with a whole raft of extras including a newly made and extensive documentary with the cast and crew, directors commentary, trailer and production stills. The documentary also covers the sequel which is notably conspicuous by its absence here in the U.K. (presumably due to rights issues with EIV who originally released LIT on VHS back in the 90's).
Overall Waxwork is a heartfelt paean to horror fans, whose giddily gore splashed enthusiasm outweighs its technical shortcomings.
