Chopping Mall
Directed by Jim Wynorski
A group of teenagers that work at the mall all get together for a late night party in one of the stores. When the mall goes on lockdown before they can get out, the robot security system malfunctions and goes on a killing spree. One by one, the three bots try to rid the mall of the "intruders." The only weapons the kids can use are the supplies in other stores. Or... if they can make it 'til morning when the mall reopens.
In this slasher favorite, eight teenagers are trapped in a high tech shopping mall, pursued by killbots.
Cast: Kelli Maroney, Tony O'Dell, Russell Todd, Karrie Emerson, Barbara Crampton

Perfect 80's cheese. Highly recommended.
Fun, silly movie. A good time. The unveiling of the security robot and hand waving of risk is frustratingly accurate.
A sleazy classic. If it was made today I would give it a 1 or 2 stars because the gimmicks are lazy by today’s standards. But it does feel very nostalgic to watch.
Simple, cheap, fairly stupid, and endlessly fun. A cheesy, sleazy classic.
An extremely dated movie that’s basically a wannabe Robocop in a mall. The special effects definitely show their age at points. Sure, there’s action, but it just doesn’t hit. It originally had poor test scores, and they had to rename it Chopping Mall. It gained a cult following on VHS some years later, but yeah, I’d rather watch Robocop.
