Waxwork 2: Perdus dans le temps

I can't believe that there are any users who take life so seriously as to give this movie a bad review. Don't listen to the naysayers! Awesome cameos by cult favorites like Bruce Campbell, Drew Barrymore, and David Carradine. This movie tackles multiple genres in irreverent and entertaining style. In my opinion this is better than the original, although Sarah in the original movie was much cuter. If your idea of a good start to a Sunday is eating Grape Nuts, taking a jog, and then coming home to button up and put on a tie on your day off stay away. Otherwise, grab yourself drink, a snack, skip the shower, and be a bum with this flick. Perfect.

Mark and Sarah survived the mayhem from the first movie only to have Sarah on trial for a murder committed by a dismembered hand. To find the proof that will clear her, the pair travel through time and space to dimensions full of historical, movie, and book characters.

With guest appearances by Bruce Campbell and David Carradine, how can you go wrong? Especially with such intense homages to "Dawn of the Dead", "The Haunting" and more?

If any complaint can be lodged with this film, it is that it is complete nonsense. The logic is even more goofy than the last film (which was pretty bad), the continuity is non-existent, and it does not really follow the first film except in the most vague way... but if you do not mind completely malarkey, this movie is fun.

Waxwork II puts its predecessor in it's shadow! It goes by the idea that the more movies homages, the better! (By the way, Gislef, the segment with Bruce Campbell was more based on Robert Wise's The Haunting) Classic revisited include Godzilla, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Alien, Dawn of the Dead (yes!), Frankenstein, and Nosferatu (w/ Drew Barrymore cameo!). My only wish is for a Waxwork III, but it will probably never happen!

Sharply written & original sequel has the two survivors from the first film traveling back in time to prove that the heroine from the first film did not kill her father, but that a demonic hand did. While, in the past they run into a warlock who has the ability to change his appearance. Fast paced, stylish, and exciting sequel with some rather good moments and plenty of homage to classic horror movies. An improvement over the original film.

Rated R; Violence and Profanity.

This movie did not follow in the trends of the typical sequel by sucking hard. Let's say it's more Empire Strikes Back than Jaws 2. Okay, that's a bit of a stretched comparison, but whatever - it was a rollicking good time.

First of all, this is not a movie to take seriously in any way. It's an homage to various horror movies and it has more cheese than Wisconsin. Some of the content you'll encounter: animated murderous hands, Frankenstein, zombies, aliens, black magic druids,...and more! I would love to see this movie re-imagined as a musical (a la Evil Dead).

WWII (uh, WaxWorks 2) gets extra points for guest appearances from Bruce "The Man Bull" Campbell (just made up that nickname for him) and Keith "Masturbation Strangulation" Carradine (nickname not made up). Set aside your critical mind for the dramas, for this campy feature all you need to do is cook yourself up some Jiffy Pop, kick back, and prepare to be moderately entertained. Oh, and the 90's sucktacular rap video during the end credits is a hoot. You'll be dumbstruck by smoove lyrics such as "Lost in time, Like a bug in a jar. No matter where you go- YO- there you are"
