The 80's are known for their hits and misses, and also for their cheese factor. In "Chopping Mall" it really makes sense. Here you have 8 friends who all work at the mall, who have decided to hang in after-hours. The mall is high tech, and has three security robots to watch the mall. For the first night, there was going to be a storm, so what happens? A lightning bolt hits a generator, causing the computer system to affect the robots in a very bad way. They go from high tech security into high tech terror! Hence "Killbots". After killing the technicians and a janitor, they go after the teens with deadly results. However, they decided to fight back with every arsenal they can get. Talk about a fight of man against machine. This movie was rather too short for me, I wanted more action from it. I did remember seeing the gun-shop named "Peckinpah's" (The name of the late movie director Sam Peckinpah), that is where the guys picked up the guns to take out those killer robots. This movie was fun, but it could use more story to it.
