Where shopping can cost you an arm and a leg!. April 28, 2008

Chopping Mall definitely stands out as being one of the better b-movies of the 80's it was a cheaply made but fun horror flick. The special fx were quite good especially for the film's low budget and it has 80's scream queen Barbara Crampton who looks really hot in this film, the robots were pretty decent looking I mean they didn't even look that high tech but more like a 1950's sci fi film. The story is basic as a group of teens who are also mall employees decide to party after hours in a furniture store in the mall and it seems like the mall owners want to provide more security so they bring in some robots to patrol the area, the mall soon closes down and the teens are trapped inside and they soon get chased and killed by these robots or 'Killbots'. These new security robots have malfunctioned due to a lightning storm and have turned deadly but after killing someone they always keep saying "thank you, have a nice day" as if they were trying to be polite or something lol. The teens who are not very bright end up fighting for their lives and get some weapons from a sporting goods store called Peckinpah's ;-), the film has enough silly humor, gore (check out the cool head explosion!), nudity and in-jokes to make it worth watching and the characters were typical and dumb horny teenagers so it was alot of fun to watch especially Barbara Crampton as the ditsy blond she was great in this! the dialogue and synthesizer music were also typical of the 80's but I actually enjoyed this stuff. Cheesy idea and title but hey it works if you enjoy cheesy but great low budget 80's horror films then I highly recommend this.

Has anyone in fact seen the full length 81 minute uncut version? I saw it only once on VHS several years ago and I don't believe it has been re-released uncut since.
LET THE KILLING BEGIN ! ! April 3, 2008
THE CRITIC (Windsor, Ontario Canada)
The Park Plaza Mall security has just gone high tech, leaving its unsuspecting mall shoppers dieing to get out,they just don't know it yet. This new breed of mechanical security guard has been created and recruited specifically to be the new "night watchman" for the Park Plaza Shopping mall. After a series of freak electrical strikes and short circuits to the computers main system all hell breaks loose and the shopping mall has now become the "Chopping Mall". Those unfortunate to be locked in are in for a deadly surprise. Due to a number of power surges the mechanical menaces have now powered up on their own to become "Killbots". Once activated the "Killbots" only objective is to kill mall intruders by any means possible and most of the deaths are carried out in gruesome fashion. I really enjoyed this typical 1980's teenage B slasher flick and it's definitely worth a look for fans of this genre. Four pairs of horny teenage mall workers come up with an idea to have a party in the malls furniture and bedding store for some teenage fun and frolic after the malls shoppers have cleared out. It doesn't take long for the killing to begin because the "Killbots" soon discover the teenager's party playground and their fun and frolic quickly turns to all out fear. Faced with no other alternative the teenagers decide to band together to fight their way past the "Killbots" to escape the "Chopping Mall" and not become the "killbots" next victim. This movie has a little bit of everything featuring Nudity, sexual situations and plenty of carnage. As for the movie itself its pretty good and the audio and video transfer is pretty decent although a little dark and mirky in some spots. Lions Gate films has included some nice bonus features in this DVD release making it worth the money. Welcome to the Chopping mall where there slashing their prices and their customers, it could cost you an arm and a leg, maybe even your head. Is it possible to lose your head over a little shopping, you'll have to watch to find out.I give this film four stars for pure 80's fun.
DVD FEATURES INCLUDE:
4 x 3 full-screen version
2.0 Dolby Stereo Surround
Audio commentary with director/co-writer Jim Wynorski and writer Steve Mitchell

A slightly original idea in the 80's slasher genre February 25, 2008
Johny Bottom (Jacksonville, NC)
From the high-tech computerized wizardry and robotics of the 1980's, comes Chopping Mall. The basic plot is simple; a shopping mall purchases three security robots to roam the mall during nightly closed hours. All intruders will be zapped via stun gun wires. Workers such as security guards and janitors must simply show an ID to the robots who answer "Thank you, have a nice day." Unfortunately, during a lightning storm, the main computer gets zapped by a bolt of lightning and the robots go on a killing spree.
Typical horny 80's teenagers, who are a must in films like these, try to stop the killer robots with guns, propane tanks, paint, and road flares. I recognized one of the dudes as 'Scott' from Friday the 13th Part II.
There are some decent kills and a cute blonde goes up in flames, so it isn't a total waste of time, but I don;t see myself popping this in the DVD player on a regular basis. But for fans of 80's flicks, though this is not ground breaking, belongs in your collection.
*GOOD 80'S MOVIE* November 8, 2007
Melissa Blubaugh (Maryland,United States)
It is what it is.A good movie for those who like horror,but different horror.I like the movie because it has robots instead of people doing the killing.And I grew up in the 80's so I like these type of movies.Not alot of people will probably like this movie.However,I liked it.
