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 lock down before they can get out, the robot security system activates after a malfunction 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 till morning when the mall opens back up.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This film is not even remotely fun. It's cheesy and not in a loveable way. It is trash and it's not worth watching for any reason.

This is utter tat – an almost complete waste of a movie. The robot security guards that attack the kids look like a cross between the robot out of Short Circuit (1986) and a rubbish-bin. Their voice is quite funny. I might have fallen asleep watching this movie but it's hard to tell, not much happened so I didn't miss much. Also most of the time I wanted to grab my phone to see what was on social media, or just see anything interesting. You'd have to be on a lot of drugs to enjoy this.

In order to beef up security at a local shopping mall, three robots are introduced with capabilities to render burglars unconscious when necessary. Yet even though the manufacturers insist that they are incapable of causing serious harm they have still given them enormous strength and laser beams which can cut through reinforced steel. What could possibly go wrong? Well, sure enough, a lightning storm hits at the same time several young couples decide to have a party inside the mall after closing time. Needless to say, these couples soon have a lot more on their hands than just their companions. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that, while it was generally entertaining, it still had a grade-B feel and the decision to combine certain amounts of comedy and action together only tended to reinforce that opinion. So, although it wasn't necessarily a bad movie, it still didn't quite attain its overall potential and for that reason I have rated this film accordingly. Slightly below average.

Good old Jim Wynorski delivers yet another fun film that's short and to the point. This one involves a bunch of Eighties teenagers who stay in a mall after closing for a night of booze and sex. Unluckily for them, three hi-tech security robots have gone nuts and are out killing everyone in the mall. The rest of the night becomes a battle between the youngsters and the bots. That's the plot, so let's move on to why this film is so much fun. It's all done firmly tongue in cheek, for starters, plus it has tons of references to other films (like the Posters for other films on the walls of the pizza place, and cameos from Dick Miller and Mel Welles), there's fleeting gore (although the exploding head gag is good), and some nudity thrown in there. Plus, the teenagers don't wander around for ages looking for each other, they instead arm themselves to the teeth and go head to head with the robots. It's a winner all the way this one, if you're looking for something fun
