Young journalist Mike (a solid and likable performance by Jimmy Shaw) gets an assignment to spend one entire evening in a spooky wax museum. Initially believing to be alone inside the place, Mike eventually finds himself being terrorized by the malevolent presence of sadistic cannibal surgeon Dr. Knox (marvelously played with lip-smacking wicked relish by veteran actor Jack Taylor).

Director Victor Matellano, who also co-wrote the compact script with Hugo Stuven Casasnovas, relates the entertainingly twisted story at a brisk pace, makes fine use of the creepy main location, displays a real affection for classic fright fare, and delivers plenty of tasty gratuitous female nudity and in-your-face nasty explicit gore. Geraldine Chaplin acquits herself well in a sizable supporting role as a television producer. Popping up in nifty bits are Lone Fleming as a forensic expert and Antonio Mayans as a gardener. Moreover, it's nice to hear the voice of legendary Spanish horror icon Paul Naschy for an automated wax figure. Sergio Jimenez Lacima's spirited shivery score hits the spine-tingling spot. Daniel Salas Alberola's sharp cinematography provides a pleasing polished look. A worthwhile shocker.

Mike (Jimmy Shaw) is a young journalist who is shooting a reality show. He is locked overnight into the creepy Barcelona Wax Museum. Nobody lasts the night according to the caretaker. He is instructed to set up cameras at key locations and is given horror films to watch. In a closely related subplot we get to see the real life of one of the displays: Dr. Knox (Jack Taylor, Dr. Know was already taken). It seems Dr. Know was a Hannibal Lecter type, keeping his victims alive while he consumed their internal organs a bit at a time. Victims normally being young nude females. Mike is informed by his producer that Dr. Know had escaped prison that morning...

The film had a nice twist with clues that would be better described as hints there is something else going on. A slightly better horror than a simple slasher film.

Guide: F-bomb. No sex. Full frontal nudity.

It deals with a young reporter, Jimmy Shaw, who signs up a reality show run by Geraldine Chaplin. He has to spend a whole night at Barcelona Wax Museum. Initially he thinks of standing alone inside the dark location, but things go wrong when a sinister, sadistic and mysterious figure shows up :Doctor Knox, Jack Taylor, Hannibal Lecter-lookalike.

Average horror movie with a lot of grisly killing, spooky situations, slashing, gore and guts. It is utterly set inside a creepy museum, there takes place ghastly happenings carried out by a malevolant Doctor Knox, that's why Knox was a Scottish physician who underwent human experiments thanks to corpses delivered by the infamous undertakers Bucky and Hare. Here stands out the splendid makeup by the prestigious artist Colin Arthur, as well as the costumes designed by the notorious and recently deceased Yvonne Blake who was Oscar winner for Nicholas and Alexandra, and Patton. Cast and support cast are acceptable. Stars Jimmy Shaw as the young who eventually encounters himself being horrorized by the eerie presence of the cannibal Doctor Knox well played by Jack Taylor. And a varied group of intimate secondaries who usually played sinister roles in the 70s such as Lone Fleming, Antonio Mayans, Saturnino Garcia, Denis Rafter and voice in off by the terror king, Paul Naschy or Jacinto Molina.

The motion picture was regularly directed by Victor Matellano. He is a crafstman who attempts to rekindle the usual genres of the 60s and 70s as Terror and Spaghetti Western .
