I tried watching this tonight cause Isis was cool enough to let me borrow the DVD. I thought it had real potential when it started. I liked the cast. I was shocked to see Deborah Foreman and Michelle Johnson standing next to each other...weird!! Michelle Johnson was decent in Blame it on Rio but overall, she is not a very good actress. I think it's her voice. Anyways, I only watched about half and then I got distracted...should I continue or call it a wrap? Did any of you like it?

I always thought it was cool. ...of course people have said that I have the worst taste in the world.

The only reason i watched it was beacuse it had Deborah Foreman in it. I said she was so good at playing Julie in Valley Girl i wonder if she will be just as good in Waxwork. In all it was kind of a boreing movie But it was worth it just to see Deborah Foreman's Million Dollar Smile Posted by JimBrayFan (Member # 3831) on :
I love this movie (and its sequel.) I like how director Tony Hickox casted interesting character actors for the secondary roles of the monsters/evil people. (J. Kenneth Campbell as the Marquis, for example.) And any movie that has Dana Ashbrook in it is great to me. :-)

I feel it was a great premise (HOUSE OF WAX anyone?) but they just didnt do enough with it. The "storys" when you got sucked into the wax museum scenes were sort of lacking....and nothing was really scary enough to work. And when a movie starts and it has Deborah Foreman and Michelle Johnson (I'm a woman and I still look at these too and go "OWWWWWW!") you really want better for them, such attractive girls. I almost wanna buy the rights to it and pick it apart and re-make it...because it could have been a great movie. Anyone ever go to a wax museum? I have...and they are dang creepy!

I love the beginning. The scene with the Werewolf -(that was one of the creepiest werewolves I have ever seen in a movie) and the one with Michelle Johnson and The Vampires-where the guy is laying on the table missing his leg, those were scary to me.
Deborah Foreman's scene where she is whipped is rather bizarre, and I didn't really like it.
The end gets weird, I don't really like how it ended....and I have seen it several times, but I can't even remember exactly who the guy turned out to be that owned the Wax museum.
To me it is cool just for the beginning scenes, and I love the cast.

Devolution here,
I happened to like Waxwork, I thought it was pretty good but I saw it at a young age. Time may not have treated it well.

See the beginning is very boring to me. It doesn't feel like it's going anywhere until the Mummy scene.
Did you guys catch (director) Tony Hickox's cameo as the Prince in the Marquis de Sade scene. He makes lots of cameos in his films. (He was a knight in the sequel... etc.)

Cindy, I think this is a movie you have to be in the right frame of mind to enjoy. It's not necessarily scary, but you have to be in a playful spooky type mood.
I watched this movie because of Deborah Foreman and like Isis stated it was a very interesting performance indeed. I thought the Waxworks scenes were very well done and rather creepy. I will give this warning, stay away from Waxworks II.
So Julie what I'm trying to say is, I don't what I'm trying to say. But watch the rest..it's a decent movie.
