Mystery of the Wax Museum Ratings & Reviews
Deep Focus Review
Brian Eggert
However shocking the film may have been at the time, it has grown not only as a cult object to be cherished by genre aficionados, but as a work that improves with the addition of contexts that underscore its distinct place in film history.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
With no musical score to guide the audience, we're often left adrift in Igor's madhouse, conjuring up some truly haunting imagery that has been beautifully restored on the new Blu-Ray from Warner Archive.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Mystery of the Wax Museum is notable for a handful of reasons, including the involvement of director Michael Curtiz before he became Warner's top go-to guy (Casablanca, Yankee Doodle Dandy).
Vanity Fair
Pare Lorentz
Had the director kept his story under control The Wax Museum might have been a good horror production.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
One of the punchiest, most watchable '30s horror films made anywhere outside of Universal.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A fun weirdo classic pulp horror tale from the 1930s.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Has its share of creeps, but noteworthy for its early 2-strip Technicolor.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...the movie's quick-paced dialogue makes it a combination "Front Page" and "Frankenstein," representing two genres picking up steam in the early thirties.
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
Mystery of the Wax Museum is not without its drawing cards, but it's nowhere near as fun as its eventual remake.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
A swell mix of comedy and creepiness
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
A true classic of horror.
