Reise zurück in der Zeit (1988)

Reise zurück in der Zeit: Directed by Anthony Hickox. With Zach Galligan, Jennifer Bassey, Joe Baker, Deborah Foreman. A wax museum owner uses his horror exhibits to unleash evil on the world.

“This is about an eerie waxwork museum run by a strange man (played by David Warner–so you KNOW heu0026#39;s VERY strange :)). Mark (Zach Galligan), his girlfriend China (Michelle Johnson) and best friends Tony (Dana Ashbrook) and Sarah (Deborah Foreman) go check it out. Tony is drawn into a waxwork and gets killed by the wolf man; China gets drawn into another and is killed by Dracula. Mark and Sarah donu0026#39;t see it happen but realize something is going on. They go to the police for help but the police officer is ALSO pulled into a waxwork and killed by a mummy. Then Sarah gets pulled in to face the Marquis de Sade and Mark is pulled in to face the living dead…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs you can tell this is a VERY strange movie. Itu0026#39;s well-directed, beautifully atmospheric with some gorgeous sets and a wonderful music score. Thereu0026#39;s also a neat, truly scary black u0026amp; white sequence. And thereu0026#39;s TONS of blood and gore. But I didnu0026#39;t really like it. The script is silly (especially in the explanation of whatu0026#39;s going on); this is actually a horror comedy–but the comedy is painfully unfunny and the horror too explicit to laugh at; the acting is TERRIBLE (Galligan is the worst offender) and they cast Miles Ou0026#39;Keeffe as Dracula!!!! Even worse his voice is dubbed–and looks it. Basically the violence, gore, special effects, score and settings are great–everything else blows. Itu0026#39;s really too bad–this film does have potential but it doesnu0026#39;t have the talent to carry it out.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI saw two versions of this–the R rated and the unrated. The R rated is bloody but the unrated is just unbelievable. Thereu0026#39;s a LOT more blood and violence (especially in the Dracula sequence). There is a sequence where blood is literally covering the walls! If you really want to see this the unrated is the one to see.”
