I found this flick on a extreme cheap DVD, I guess it was a few cent at a retailer. The title was Spaceshift and I only picked it up due the name Bruce Campbell. The cover looked childish, still I didn't knew what I would get.
Plugging it into the player it came clear that the real title was Waxwork II:Lost In Time. And that title says it all.
You will be really lost into this weird picture. Looking at the time it was made, 1992, it surely didn't give me that feeling with some cheesy effects. It looked more like a eighties flick. But what a treat it became. The director, Anthony Hickox, surely knew his stuff and looking at his flicks he went further to do Hellraiser 3 next. There are a few big names here to see from the B-genre and they all did appear for a short time. The main lead was done by Zach Galligan (Gremlins) and Monika Schnarre (Beastmaster series). The did well because they really did some space shift. They are moving in history and are seen in the dark ages, in space, in Nosferatu, and I can go on and on. There are so many gory effects and monsters used that this is really one to see. Bob Keen (Hellraiser, Nightbreed, Event Horizon) did the effects and are worth watching. There are even some jokes added towards the gore. Be sure to catch the 'uncensored version', luckily mine was. A must see, even as it is sometimes cheesy (the crawling hand).
