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

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!"

Rated: 4/5

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

Rated: 3/4

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

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