Is this a great example of good, bad horror movies or what?!

I brought the double disk version which included waxwork 1 and 2 a few months back and it was brilliant! I was looking for waxwork 2 cus it had the 1 and only bruce campbell in it but when i watched waxwork 1 i actually thought it was better! I mean bruce was brilliant in the film and he did 1 of the best screams i have heard him do when the bag of salt hits him on his chest but the story was way better in the 1st 1.

Films like these can never be done with a big budget so we need to see way more low budget horror films coming out where they have some bad corny elements to the film but what people need to understand is that this is why they are good!

Does anybody have any recommendations on films like these?

It's been a really long time since I watched this film, but I still remember it very well. A craptastic film, indeed!

bubba ho-tep, lol what a movie...what a movie indeed. anyway, back to waxwork.

it IS insanely cheesy, the second one more so, but still manages to be very good....interesting.

Hey, this movie's budget wasn't that bad.

It still had plenty of sets for all the different waxwork scenes, more sets than most low budget horror films.
