![]() ![]() Occasionally there's the odd bit of detail that's nicely added - the strains of SWAN LAKE bringing to mind the Boris Karloff Mummy movie from 1932 and the Black & White zombie sequence that pays homage to George A Romero. As someone who's always enjoyed fantasy, sci-fi and horror I thought that this unusual concept would make for an engaging film (I was tragically wrong). The premise that the waxwork displays are gateways to a realm that becomes deadly reality once you step across the rope barrier is at least an interesting one. He gets all the best lines and manages to keep his dignity intact throughout and some of the cast are clearly doing their best with this sub-par stuff. It's not hard to see why this might have been the case given WAXWORK's shallow script. The kind of role that I understand he got bored with being offered. The good stuff first: David Warner is as excellent as ever, playing a bog-standard villain. The film appears to me to be proof of the the old adage if you've never heard of a film before chances are high that it's going to be poor. So if you're one of the people who does like it then good luck to you. He was always one of my favourite actors and I read a lot of good reviews of 1988's WAXWORK which I had never come across before. ![]() To learn more about how and for what purposes Amazon uses personal information (such as Amazon Store order history), please visit our Privacy Notice.įollowing the sad death of the wonderful David Warner, I was checking out his back catalogue of screen work.
