      Waxwork is certainly no hidden horror gem, but its flashes of wit and genuine enthusiasm for the horror genre are enough to make it a reasonably enjoyable time.

      Time Out

      The portmanteau horror movie makes a hesitant comeback with this jokey teen splatter pic.

      Hickox, the son of Douglas (Theatre of Blood) Hickox, shows a derivative, choppy, jagged style in his feature debut. He makes an uneasy stew of this mix of hip, flip teen-slasher gore and movie-buff aestheticism, of callous black humor and smarmy sentimentality. There’s a big problem here: too much waxy buildup.

      Gorehounds will likely be pleased by the graphic bloodletting, but there's little else of interest here.
