Sadly Over-hyped

Excellent but underrated film

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Weirdly, the title and plot of this movie are the only things about it that really make any sense, even though no one gets chopped. A guy has created robots to protect a mall and of course they go haywire. They are loud as hell yet they have no problem sneaking up on people. The have a base that is at least 4 feet long and they have no problem riding an escalator. The most interesting thing about the movie is the ridiculous stores. It really makes you wonder if the internet really killed malls or was it stores like House Of Almonds and Her Scent? Maybe having house paint stores and places that sell machine guns in a mall is why they are dead? I could point out all the stupid things in this movie all day but no one is even reading this so why bother. As bad as this movie is, I have seen much worse. Not a total waste of time.

This is utter tat – an almost complete waste of a movie. The robot security guards that attack the kids look like a cross between the robot out of Short Circuit (1986) and a rubbish-bin. Their voice is quite funny. I might have fallen asleep watching this movie but it's hard to tell, not much happened so I didn't miss much. Also most of the time I wanted to grab my phone to see what was on social media, or just see anything interesting. You'd have to be on a lot of drugs to enjoy this.

This 1986 sci-fi/horror film stars Kelli Maroney, Tony O'Dell, Russell Todd, Karrie Emerson, Barbara Crampton, Nick Segal, John Terlesky and Suzee Slater. This features a group of friends, Alison (Maroney), Ferdy (O'Dell), Rick (Todd), Linda (Emerson), Suzie (Crampton), Greg (Segal), Mike (Terlesky) and Leslie (Slater) who decide to spend the night in a shopping mall after hours. Soon, they become terrorized by 3 security robots that become deadly after lightning strikes the computer system. Dick Miller, Mary Woronov and Paul Bartel also make appearances. This is a pretty good 80's flick that combines aspects of "The Terminator" and "Dawn of the Dead." I recommend this.

I liked Chopping Mall I thought it was a fun little flick.It's what I like to call low budget gold. I like 80s horror films and this one was Okay. I actually found this film rather fast paced and it had a lot of Action in it. This is not a totally serious Film either I found it to be more of a horror comedy with some fun tongue in cheek moments.there was also some dark humour that I liked. The story is simple a group of teenagers decide to spend the night in the mall and throw a private party in there but they end up getting locked inside and they are unaware that the security Robots have malfunctioned and are now on a killing spree. People get killed off one by one by the Robots.when the teenagers find out they are trapped inside the store with killer robots they panic and try to run and hide from them. But the Robots are fast and they can shoot laser beams at people which burn right through the skin. There is one scene in the film where someone gets killed in a crazy way and we see a huge load of blood.it was a crazy scene. I thought the film was exciting all the way through because there were always things happening,and I really liked the idea of the film about the Robots malfunctioning and turning on everyone.I thought that was a good idea and kind of interesting,the setting of the film was also interesting.I like films that take place in stores or Malls where a group of people need to work together to fight and escape that's just what this film was like. There were some scenes with the Robots that were kind of ridiculous but the film was so Entertaining I didn't care. I also liked most of the characters which was surprising because usually horror films don't have any likable characters but this one did. I thought the acting was Okay from everyone and I liked the Lead girl Kelli Maroney I thought she was a strong character that had a lot of guts and she put up a good fight. There are some Fun moments when the teenagers fight the Robots with Guns and other objects they find in the store,there are also a lot of exciting chase scenes and a game of cat and mouse occurs. Also every time the Robots Kill someone they say (thank you have a nice day) which I found quite Funny actually. I'm sure most people will think this film is cheesy and it is but it's also a lot of fun to watch which is the main reason I like it.If you have not seen it definitely give it a Watch.
