That was an excellent one.

A Disappointing Continuation

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

One of Jim Wynorski's best, this is one of the better B's of the 1980's. Starring a who's who of basically nobodies, Kelli Maroney and Barbara Crampton are the names that stand out. A great fun little film about Robot Security that runs amok (of course, otherwise there wouldn't be a movie. The original title was Killbots) killing a bunch of teens who stayed overnight to party. Pay close attention to Suzi Slater. A bot chases her and blows her head entirely off (great effects shot) yet everytime we see her body later, the head is back. The movie has two of the best easter eggs ever - The Blands from Eating Raoul, and Walter Paisely (Dick Miller) who costared in many of Corman's movies. Really, just get popcorn and turn off your brain. It's that kind of fun movie.

It's a B movie that knows what it is and what it has to do and still tries to have a little fun with the formula. There are some really funny lines tossed around like "I guess I just didn't expect to be running away from killer robots tonight" (paraphrasing) and the whole opening where the scientist is showing the robots and says "nothing could possibly go wrong!" in such a deliberately ridiculous way, that it rises above the schlock to be more entertaining than most of these slasher type movies. A couple of good kills, some over the top action, lots of in jokes (the gun store called Peckilnpah's) and a robot that looks eerily similar to Johnny five just with a different head make this better than most!

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.

Think about it: you're considering watching a film called 'Chopping Mall.' Are you seriously expecting a great, original plot with fantastic character development and Oscar-winning special effects? I hope not. If you are then you really shouldn't watch this. This is truly terrible. And I loved it.It's about a mall (surprise, surprise) where the owners employ robots to guard it at night. These robots look like a cross between a Cylon and something out of 'Silent Running.' Anyway, just when they're commissioned, they only get struck by a freak lightning storm, turning them from honourable guardians of the night to psychotic killers (always the way, huh?).If this isn't bad enough then a bunch of kids hang back after work to indulge in pre-marital sex. You can probably guess they don't live to regret their kinky, decadent decision. You have every cliché here going - characters who you can tell exactly how and when they'll die, kids having sex and drinking then getting killed, cheesy dialogue and much, much more. For the first half an hour the film is pretty dull, not even worthy of a cult classic. However, at about the half hour mark, a woman gets her head blown to bits (classic!) and it all picks up from there. What you have is one daft chase after the next with robots who clearly need shooting lessons and kids who suddenly become Rambos when they raid a gun store.It's stupid. It's awful. It's a terrible film. And, if you know and appreciate that, you may love it as much as I do.
