A B-movie romp of real texture, invention and affection. I still can't understand how I missed this one on the VHS shelves during my rabid rental days of yore.

stuck on the couch hopped up on pain killers....

I remember going to the video store when I was little and getting this movie allll the time..

noscalgic... LOVE maybe its the reason waxworks freak me out to this day....

When Mark (Zach Galligan) and friends head to a weird Waxwork showroom, they soon discover a strange plot to unleash evil upon the world. The owner of the establishment (David Warner!) is attempting to resurrect the most evil people and monsters in the world, by utilizing some sort of voodoo to trap victims' souls inside each wax display and bring it to life.

Eventually Mark discovers the truth and attempts to burn down the Waxwork, but discovers that he may be too late, leading to a showdown against the likes of Jack the Ripper, the Phantom of the Opera, and the Marquis de Sade!

Waxwork is a brilliant little b-flick that really makes me pine for the 80's. It's original, it's fun, and has it's tongue firmly in cheek when dealing with its source material. The filmmakers didn't take it all too seriously, so make sure you don't either when you watch it!

Loved it! Like an R rated version of The Monster Squad.

I nice idea with a bit of the anthology idea thrown in, was a bit disappointed as it sort of gave the impression it was going to be a nice black comedy with lots of laughs but it really lacked in the comedy front. There were some good kills and some nice ideas but really I was not that gripped by this film and would not watch it again but then I see there is a sequel and I will probably look out for that film, seems to have time travel which is always cool.

It's entertaining but forgettable. Cool premise though.

This is a fun little 80s joke horror film. Its a real basic concept. They are invited to a waxork museum, where the set pieces transport them to the actual scene, and they then get killed in that scenario.

You can see where Cabin in the woods got their ideas from. I saw Cabin in the Woods first, and I thought it was a great fresh idea, but I can see they got the idea from Waxwork. Both are good and worth watching.

There are some cheesy effects, and huge plot failures, but who cares, this is fun.

Basic plot - 6 people must die in the waxwok situation to release the monsters. Why? Who knows, and its very coincidental they find out what is going on but who cares.

At the end, there is a crazy free for all, but any film where you get to see all the classic movie monsters killing each other, who cares! :)

After 25 years, it still entertains.

A really nice cast in this, and I liked the idea of not just being killed and turned into wax, but kind of falling into a classic horror scenario and once you die, you become part of the wax exhibit.

The ending is actually pretty fun a la The Cabin In The Woods.

I really liked the cast too, but just wish we got more Michelle Johnson. That woman is stunning.

I will say that I thought a few of them were killed far too early and it did seem to drag in the mid-section. And David Warner isn't a very good bad guy here.

The effects are pretty great though.

Just have to stick with it, cause the first ten minutes can be a bit off with the over the top drama between the leads.

A 'humorous' horror flick that ran drier than sand within twenty minutes. I struggled to continue ten minutes further. I promised myself to finish, and failed. Fuck you Waxwork, you've corrupted my promise-keeping due to your fucking shameful inferiority.

YES!
