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.

Less of a slasher flick and more like a Sci-Fi terror, Chopping Mall brings the future into the now. A shopping mall installs 3 track-driven robots to perform security once the facility closes down for the night. A group of teens decide to have an after hours party in the bedding store and that's when things go wrong. Lightning strikes the server unit on the roof and the Johnny Fives (Short Circuit) begin running amuck and killing anyone they can catch. With a cast of names nobody will be able to pick out, except for legendary Dick Miller (Gremlins, The Terminator) and a couple of quick hit wonders Kelli Maroney (Night of the Comet, Fast Times at Ridgemont High) and Mary Woronov (Deathrace 2000), terror runs rampant with actually some decent acting. Pure 80s cheese. It gets a 7 out of 10 for not taking itself too seriously and just bringing the fun.

This would’ve looked dated even in the 80’s! So bad it’s terrible. 1/10.

A fistful of teenaged mall employees hold a drunken after-hours orgy at the end of their shift, just days after the installation of three roving anti-theft robots on the premises. In a typical bit of B-movie magic, the control suite is struck by half a dozen bolts of lightning and the automatons beg More
