Movie Reviews of Chopping Mall
Movie Review: Slasher meets sci-fi
Summary: 3 Stars
Chopping Mall is your basic retread of the slasher movie formula with a couple unique touches. Number one, it obviously takes place in a shopping mall, and number two, robots are doing the killing here. Although it certainly has its horror aspects, it's much more of a dark comedy movie at heart.
A mall decides to equip its premises with the latest in security technology, a team of security guard robots that lay the beat-down on burglars by firing laser beams. One night a group of teenage mall employees decide to throw a little party inside the furniture store after closing hours, unfortunately this coincides with an electrical storm that causes the robots' internal computers to go haywire. Now the group attempts to escape the mall with their lives as the murderous robots run rampant.
Chopping Mall has all the calling cards of a campy 80's horror movie. Over the top synth music, inter-changeable/disposable characters, laughable dialogue, the works. The one thing Chopping Mall surprisingly does lack is gore, which is often the focal point of these types of movies. The pacing (thankfully) is brisk, but a little more gore definietly wouldn't have hurt. At a trim 70 or so minutes in length, Chopping Mall is a mostly forgettable, but nonethless entertaining movie for those that are prone to enjoying this type of thing to begin with. If you love cheesy horror, and really really love the 1980's, this would be your movie.
