SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

RecceR The sequel stars off right where the first movie ended, but a dismembered hand follows Sarah home and kills her step father. Because nobody believes Sarah's hand story, she is facing jail time. Mark takes Sarah on a journey to find some type of proof to clear Sarah of the charges. This was a pretty decent sequel that was actually funnier than the first. Whereas the original had dark humor, this one has more slapstick humor like Evil Dead II and Dead Alive. Ironically, Bruce Campbell has a part in this movie. It wasn't a big role, but it was very memorable and humorous. There is one thing I was not happy about; the recasting of Sarah. I really don't like when a character is recast, but it makes it worse when the new actor looks completely different. Monika does do a decent job overall. There are some memorable spoofs like House on Haunted Hill, Alien, and Frankenstein. A decent portion of the movie takes place in a medieval land that reminded me of the alternate dimension introduced in the second season of Angel, Pylea. Maybe Joss Whedon was inspired from this movie. The effects are also better, not big studio movie better, but improved from the first. If you liked the first one, you will definitely like this.

James Bourke I've often thought many years after my first initial viewing of this sequel, just what was Anthony Hickox thinking when he wrote and directed this serious misfire to what was a very enjoyable and fun filled original.Admittedly when it came to the first Waxwork, what drew my attention to the movie was the groovy looking cover, such a weakness for cool looking artwork covers still haunts me to this very day, even though I am no longer than impressionable teenager, but a man celebrating his fortieth year on this planet(how about that for ageing this review and indeed myself) Luckily the first movie was able to deliver upon the promise of the synopsis and the artwork on show. What the second installment was sadly lacking was direction, a cohesive storyline and more importantly that fun factor.I remember when this was first announced, I was so excited, because after Waxwork, Hickox made what was arguably(for me anyway) his best movie, Sundown The Vampire In Retreat, so having watched both these movies, I felt a need to watch any movie that Hickox applied his name to.With the first Waxwork, the story had an aim and fully formed structure, plus a great cast to see it through, alas all the name's attached to Lost In Time, we mere time fillers and what did he have them do, re-enact/rehash classic scenes from 'The Haunting' and 'Alien' et al.I can still hear Lesley Gore singing 'It's my party' at the end credits of the original, too bad this monster mash up, that Hickox threw together couldn't find that necessary gel to make it all stick.A bitter disappointment. 2/10

Woodyanders Writer/director Anthony Hickox cheerfully throws logic, basic sense, and seriousness completely to the wind in this gloriously asinine sequel which finds lone survivors Mark (affable Zach Gilligan) and Sarah (winningly played with considerable spunky charm by the gorgeous Monika Schnarre) traveling through a time portal and getting thrust into a crazy alternate universe where the forces of good and evil battle it out for all eternity. Cranking up the blithely dippy black humor to the gut-busting ninth degree, laying on a handy helping of graphic gore, and paying merry homage to a slew of classic horror items that include "Alien," "The Haunting," "Frankenstein," "Nosferatu," "Godzilla," and "Dawn of the Dead," Hickox takes the viewer on a giddy fantasy adventure that's admittedly cheesy as all hell, but still quite funny and entertaining thanks to its boundless energy and all-out unapologetic stupidity. Alexander Godunov has a ball as wicked black arts practitioner Scarabis, Martin Kemp does well as Baron Frankenstein, and Michael Des Barres is a slimy treat as effeminate baddie George. Popping up in nifty bits are Bruce Campbell (in stellar spirited deadpan form and sporting a nasty open chest wound), David Carradine, Patrick Macnee (briefly back as the jolly Sir Wilfred), John Ireland (in his last movie role as King Arthur), Drew Barrymore, and George "Buck" Flower (who gets killed by a lethal disembodied hand!). The ending credits rap song and accompanying video is simply sidesplitting. Gerry Lively's polished cinematography gives the picture a crisp high-gloss look. Steve Schiff's neatly varied and robust score does the thrilling and flavorful trick. Tremendous goofy fun.

BA_Harrison Writer/director Anthony Hickox attempts to repeat the success of his debut, Waxwork, with this silly sequel that once again offers him the opportunity to tackle several different sub-genres of horror. This time around, however, he gets the recipe all wrong and the result is a very messy and not particularly funny horror/comedy that makes one wonder whether the first Waxwork was something of a fluke.Part two—Lost in Time—follows on directly from part one, with Mark (Zach Galligan) and Sarah (this time played by Monika Schnarre) escaping from the burning museum, closely followed by a zombie hand. After this crawling menace kills Sarah's step-father, the poor girl winds up in court accused of murder; her only chance of proving her innocence is to follow Mark through a series of time portals in an attempt to find evidence that will support her outlandish story.This preposterous and poorly constructed plot serves merely as an excuse for the director to throw in as many references to his favourite movies as possible; thus, we get a lame Aliens rip-off, A silly Dawn of the Dead style zombie skit, Hickox's take on Frankenstein's monster, a Nosferatu homage (shot in flickery black and white); plus brief appearances from Jack the Ripper, Godzilla, Mr. Hyde, and many more characters that will be familiar to fans of fantasy/horror cinema.Rather than make a serious attempt to capture the look and feel of the films he is referencing (something he did extremely well in Waxwork), Hickox instead prefers to try and emulate the splatstick comedy of Evil Dead 2—something he completely fails to do, despite even going to the trouble of casting Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell. To make matters worse, the film is way too long (104 freakin' minutes!!) and features music that sounds suspiciously like a weak copy of Goblin's score for Suspiria.
