Review Tuesday: Chopping Mall (1986)

 

  

Chopping Mall

1986 

A group of youngsters are locked in a mall when the new robot security system goes berserk. 

Do you remember the great 80s horror movies? They were bad, in a good way that made them fun. That's what my BFF was looking for. 

 

For security purposes a mall goes on full lock-down nightly and additionally deploys robots to patrol the shared spaces. Of course on the very first night of the robot patrol, their control center gets an overload from a lightening bolt which fries their safety directive. Of course, a bunch of young mall employees decide to have a sex party at the furniture store that same night. It's up to the kids to avoid the sentries and survive the night. 

 

This movie is approximately what you would expect. There are some good looking women who show their boobs. The dudes are douche-bags. The robots aren't scary. The story is predictable. The writing is cheesy. Not really worth watching unless you're looking for that sort of thing.
