Movie Reviews of Chopping Mall
Movie Review: Not the uncut version?
Summary: 3 Stars
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.Movie Review: Chopping Stall
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie was just inadequate. First off, the DVD quality is sub par at best, failing to reach an acceptable slasher standard. But for me the worst is just how lazy, cheap or whatever the director was. At several points there are windows covered by shades and you can see the sun coming through yet they ignore them. Did I mention it's night time and that they are trying to escape?
Awful acting and comical script let down an otherwise good idea. It's like a TV movie with zero good special effects, I mean when the robots start firing Battle Beyond the Stars (1980) type laser shots, you just feel like puking.
Also, there's the implausibility involved with the robot attacks. These things look like something rejected by Robocop (1987) for being too dorky or exceedingly cheap. These are just boxes mounted on traction.
Don't waste your Robot heads.
Movie Review: 0 STARS: Not a horror movie, therefore not my thing.
Summary: 1 Stars
"Chopping Mall" is styled like an 80s slasher, but is in fact, not a horror movie. In actuality, what you get with this movie is more science fiction/action with some cheesey comedy as well. Simply put, "Chopping Mall" doesn't work as a horror movie because the killers are machines and therefore the element of evil is completely lacking which is not conduicive to a pure horror movie. In fact, one could argue that this movie is more or less like "Maximum Overdrive" or maybe even "Runaway" (in a sense), only not as good because those movies, while technically implausible, actually made some sense theoretically speaking, unlike this most unfortunate piece of rubbish known as "Chopping Mall". I do not recommend "Chopping Mall" if you are looking for a horror movie or an 80s slasher flick as the movie is in all fairness a dark yet "total farce". Instead, I would recommend "He Knows You're Alone" as probably the best of the relatively unknown 80s slasher/horror movies.Movie Review: Actually, it kinda sucks
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm as passionate as the next guy about "bad movies". And so I hate to be a grouch about Chopping Mall, but it really is not very entertaining at all. It's more DULL than bad. Stupid script, but the dialogue isn't dumb enough to be entertaining. The acting isn't bad enough, either.The characters all blend together. By all means CM is NOT good, but it merely exists in that boring middleground- there's just nothing memorable (good or bad) about this movie, except for the title and the concept.
On a positive note, if any viewers thought Karrie Emerson was cute, you really should find a copy of Evils of the Night. She's in that movie as well, and IMHO Evils of the Night is far more amusing than chopping mall.
Movie Review: Go shopping! Don't stay home and watch this loser!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Sometimes shopping can cost you an arm and a
leg...literally!!! That's because I just finished
watching "Chopping Mall"...a film about robotic
security in a shopping mall. So what happens when you
try to rob a mall with little robo's wandering around
that can chop you to bits? Not much. This film
sucks! The robots run amouk and the film slowly goes
down hill. This one is terrible. Don't even bother
to finish reading this review. I'm glad I got this
free!!! Even then...time is money and I wasted 90
minutes on this schlock ^^%&$&!!! In the horror
genre', this one should be banned and I give it a
solid 1 on a scale of 1-5 (5 being the highest).
