with David Carradine & Alexander Godunov

PLOT: Picks up where the first movie left off. A hand follows Sarah home from the now completely destroyed Waxworks. The hand kills her father and she gets the blame. In order to vindicate her, she and Mark visit Sir Wilfred's house and find a secret room with a mirror which enables them to travel in time. They try to find proof that her story about the hand is true.

No sex, no nudity, lots of violence, gore, some language.

THOUGHTS: Rubbish! The first Waxwork movie was quite good, but this is pure garbage. It's barely even coherent! As with the first movie the teens visit different famous horror movie scenarios such as Frankenstein and his monster.

One revealing mistake that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere is in the scene where Baron Van Frankenstein (Kemp) is being killed and his eyeballs pop out. In the moments that follow you can clearly see his eyes are still in their sockets. They had CGI in 1992 there's no excuse for such sloppiness!

In one particular scene we jump to a take on the 1960's horror movie The Haunting. Just as it's established we jump straight to a scene resembling Alien, and then it jumps back to The Haunting for no apparent reason. The cameo appearances are pretty rubbish apart from Bruce Campbell who seems to be loving the whole thing, lucky him! Don't bother.

CAN I BUY IT? Waxwork/Waxwork II DVD set (Region 1).
