The 'Casablanca' of 'Killer Robots Chasing Teenagers Thru A Mall' Movies

"I'm just not used to be chased around a mall in the middle of the night by killer robots." Jeez, who HASN'T had one of those days?

Seriously though, how hilariously cheesy and awesome is this film? Besides the cheap production values and the ridiculous story, you get badass killer robots, horrendous 80's clothing & hair styles, campy performances, terrible keyboard/synthesizer music, and amusing cameos from Paul Bartel, Mary Woronov, and Dick Miller. What more could you ask for? (Besides better acting, plot, cinematography, and music.)

"Chopping Mall" never fails to entertain. And since it doesn't take itself seriously, neither should anyone who decides to watch it. It's short, fast-paced, and completely trapped in the 80's. If you have an hour and fifteen minutes to kill and you're in the mood for some goofy 80's horror fun, this is the movie you should watch.

"Thank you. Have a nice day."

I would have to agree, based on those parameters. I'm already giving it a back-to-back shot.

I love to love my Lisa.

Can't agree more. This movie is tremendous fun.

What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!
