Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Logan Dodd There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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.

gavin6942 Mark and Sarah survived the mayhem from the first movie only to have Sarah on trial for a murder committed by a dismembered hand. To find the proof that will clear her, the pair travel through time and space to dimensions full of historical, movie, and book characters.With guest appearances by Bruce Campbell and David Carradine, how can you go wrong? Especially with such intense homages to "Dawn of the Dead", "The Haunting" and more? If any complaint can be lodged with this film, it is that it is complete nonsense. The logic is even more goofy than the last film (which was pretty bad), the continuity is non-existent, and it does not really follow the first film except in the most vague way... but if you do not mind completely malarkey, this movie is fun.

guzzil80 I can't believe that there are any users who take life so seriously as to give this movie a bad review. Don't listen to the naysayers! Awesome cameos by cult favorites like Bruce Campbell, Drew Barrymore, and David Carradine. This movie tackles multiple genres in irreverent and entertaining style. In my opinion this is better than the original, although Sarah in the original movie was much cuter. If your idea of a good start to a Sunday is eating Grape Nuts, taking a jog, and then coming home to button up and put on a tie on your day off stay away. Otherwise, grab yourself drink, a snack, skip the shower, and be a bum with this flick. Perfect.

slayrrr666 "Waxwork II: Lost in Time" is a woefully unimpressive sequel after a great original entry.**SPOILERS**After a murder trial, Mark Loftmore, (Zach Galligan) and Sarah Brightman, (Monika Schnarre) learn that they have inherited a mansion from an old friend. Discovering a time-traveling trinket, they are suddenly whisked away into other dimensions and travel to meet others throughout history. Jumping from universe to universe, and encountering various personas and barely escaping from them finally leads them into the hands of Scarabis, (Alexander Godunov) a ruthless king in a distant past who is using an assortment of black magic to take over the various time dimensions. Learning that they can fight back against his powers, as they have been selected to fight for the side of good over evil in an epic struggle, and once they have accomplished the feat, can go back into their time. Using this, they set out to stop the evil forces out to get them and return back to their time.The Good News: This one here didn't have a whole lot of great parts to it. The fact that it does have a large amount of influences from other films of the past make it rather fun at times. From respectful homages to the classics of the past, including one of a silent film that comes complete with cards indicating dialogue and old-time acting which comes off incredibly well, to one that's done in black-and-white, exactly like the one it's parodying, there's some really great fun to have from the homages in here. Even better is a little part inside a shopping mall overrun with zombies, which will be immediately visible to most out there, and the insertion of the new action into the story comes off like a charm. All of these here are really fun, and get some energy and life into the film. The gore in here also works, and although it's not as messy as the first one, there's enough in here to satisfy. From scenes of people getting their heads blown apart with gunshots, limbs hacked off with swords, there's a great decapitation and a head explosion as well as a fist rammed through the back and comes out the front, as well as much more in here. From the cheesy goodness some of the scenes display, there's some really nice stuff in here that make the film entertaining.The Bad News: This one here was a really underwhelming entry in the series. One of the biggest problems here is that so much of the film is taken up with scenes that just spread the film out, as it's easily ten minutes too long here. From the trial to the extended chase through haunted house segment in here, there's a lot of extra scenes in here which make the film an extra long time. The Mediaeval episode is the film's longest, least connected and most pointless sequence, as it's obvious that it wants to turn the film around into a sword-and-sorcery romp here. There's no horror at all, and from the different homages here, the low amount of scares in here make for some non-horrific viewing here. Mainly this is due to the fact that there's not a whole lot of horror homages in here, and instead it decides to go for more of a fantasy and science-fiction related scenes that don't offer up a lot of scare-potential. That alone is one of the film's bigger flaws, which makes for some even worse times when it's a sequel to the earlier entry which was packed with that amount of stuff. The last flaw is the really confusing and irrational way the plot intercepts each other. Rather than having a clear-cut manner for how the first one went about business, this one decides to do the other manner in an even worse manner by just having them jump around from time period to time period, with no explanation given that it got that way to begin with. It's pretty hard to figure out, and combined with the big flaws in here, comprise this one's biggest problems.The Final Verdict: Without a whole lot of good points and some really big flaws present, this one here is a really woeful sequel after the fun of the first one. If you can get past the flaws, this one can be fun if in the right mood, otherwise then just stick to the original if you think the flaws here would be too much.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language and Brief Nudity
