Review of Waxwork (1988) by Michael Wilmington for Los Angeles Times — 23 Nov 1994
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.
