Wax

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.

He has directed shorts and documentary, such as Stacatto, Regresa el Cepa, Tio Jess, The ravine of the British , Zarpazos Spanish terror.
