…Terminator 2 this is assuredly not, but Chopping Mall’s light serving of sci-fi action has plenty of retro charm today…

An inane but entertaining horror comedy.

There's ample retro-futurist quaintness in this film, as with most pre-internet B-movies with a technophobic bent.

Say what you will about the title, there's no denying that Chopping Mall has one of the great taglines ever - "Where Shopping Costs You an Arm and a Leg!"

Its no-fills exploitation ethos is infectious, and you can't help but admire its economy, even if that fantastic title is just a tad misleading

Disreputably fun... just about the best low-budget movie about killer robots destroying a shopping mall that can ever be produced.

The perfect campy 80s horror film, complete with outdated effects, mediocre acting, and a predictable ending. I say all that endearingly because Chopping Mall was a blast from start to finish. It’s the perfect Halloween night movie if you’re looking for something unserious that everyone can enjoy.

80s slasher movie. Not the best of that genre but if you like those movies this one is enjoyable.

Trapped in a shopping mall with killer robots? You better pray there’s a machine gun store! Jim Wynorski hits the overdrive on this Killbot rampage thriller!

The Cast was stupid and unlikeable and the plot was very stupid. Avoid this movie at all cost!
