A shopping mall at night, horny youth, killer robots, guns and lasers, and a very synth heavy soundtrack. No...it's not a Jean Michel Jarre concert, but a pretty watchable little horror flick called Chopping Mall.

>*"They remind me of your mother. It's the laser eyes."*

Teens wrecking havoc in a shopping mall at night and killer security Dalek robots delivering cheesy one-liners... *"absolutely nothing can go wrong"*. If you love 80's cheese and killer robots, ***Chopping Mall*** is a blast!

What gives it charm is the robots being animatronic practical effects (or actual robots, idk), they look so good and they have some deadly robot tricks up their sleeves (lasers, tasers, tranquilizing darts...) which keeps things entertaining. Some of the kills are inventive and robot themed but others are very bland and don't expect too much blood or gore. The score took me by surprise, it's great and fits with the robot thematics. I always like the shopping mall location in movies there's so many possibilities with all the different shops and this is no exception, they used it well. The tarantula/snake scene was terrifying. I expected a little more from the third act, it doesn't really standout compared to the rest. Still a good fun watch overall.

>*"Thank you, and have a nice day."*

Perfect blend of 80s cheese and mindless fun. Also, will be useful as a historical piece when shopping malls no longer exist.

NO ONE NEEDED TO DIE!!! [spoiler] All this time they spent running around the mall breaking into the shops to "hide" & what not, why did no one just think to break the front doors. [/spoiler]
It was a fun watch. Id watch it again if it was on.

Once you get passed the misleading title and some of the poorly aged effects, it's actually a fun little horror movie about killbots chasing a bunch of teenagers around a mall. It also stands as one of the few 80s bodycount movies to feature female protagonists proactively take charge and kick some serious ass. It's a fun time.

One of the better trash movies. Entertaining. Worthy of a second viewing? Debatable. Still worth a watch. The movie cover makes no sense so don't base an idea on that.

Great low budget movie! Goofy, cheesy, and campy with a really simple story about malfunctioned security robot at shopping mall killing teenager fun.
