April 11, 2012Pure 80's horror cheese at its best. The actual idea is pretty good, covering many genres in one go, with a bit of tweaking it could have been the next Creepshow but then maybe a bigger budget would have taken away all its charm. Watching Patrick Macnee shout "Oh my goodness" as ... read more

December 9, 2011Entertaining comic horror which see's six young friends lured to a mysterious waxwork museum where the owner has plans to make them part of the exhibit.

December 20, 2008Cheesy and campy, but great fun. Lots of eye candy for both sexes too. As long as you don't take it that seriously, then you probably won't be disappointed.

October 31, 2008An evil waxwork proprietor uses his occult powers to send teenagers into a lame nightmare worlds inhabited by famous film monsters, which will somehow enable him to take over the world. Competent production values and a tiny bit of humor can't save the tepid teen terror tableaux.

It then goes where I didn't expect, and introduces science fiction twi... read more

July 16, 2007Great classic cheese. It's tongue-in-cheek horror but it never gets to the point where the makers bash you over the head with it. See the unrated version only or don't bother.

October 15, 2006Horrible effects, a lame ill concieved story, and no nudity. The only thing this has going for it is a handsome country Dracula and a bad ending that mimics the Haunting.
