a mall have just be present with a state of the art new security systemtreaded and laser beam equip robot . unfortunately and during the most unconvincing lightening storm in cinema history and the robot go crazy and begin kill off teen that sneak in after hour to party . chop mall ( aka killbots ) come from genre hack jim wynorski and who other credit include the immensely trashy the curse of the komodo and raptor . chop mall be by far good than most movie he make and though it still isn not great . there a nice cast of familiar genre face ( include barbara crampton and an amusing cameo by dick miller a a cranky janitor ) and a corny electronic 80 score and and i will admit the robot effect be actually pretty well do on a low budget ( though i do find the robot design to be a little too cute to be threaten ) . unfortunately and with the exception of a decent slit throat and an ok explode head and there a disappointing absence of gore and the majority of the cast give bad to awful performance . clock in at a brisk 77 minute and chop mall isn not a bad way to waste some time if youre a horror fan and though there be good killer robot flick out there ( see terminator 2 and 3 and moontrap or even the 1997 box office bomb and virus ) . 4/10 .
