Waxwork II: Lost in Time
The survivors of the first Waxwork must use a portal through time to defeat the evil that has followed them and turned their lives upside down.
Why it matters
A kaleidoscopic romp through horror history that doubles as a time-traveling monster mash, Waxwork II: Lost in Time blends camp, gore, and genre tropes with gleeful abandon.
- A loving pastiche of ‘80s and ‘90s horror, riffing on everything from slasher flicks to supernatural scares.
- Practical effects by KNB EFX deliver gooey, gruesome moments that hold up better than the admittedly goofy story.
- Perfect for fans who appreciate meta-horror before it became a marketing staple—think early Scream with more silliness and less polish.
- Not a masterpiece, but a cult favorite for its wild tonal swings and sheer enthusiasm for the genre’s monsters and mythology.
