Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …Terminator 2 this is assuredly not, but Chopping Mall’s light serving of sci-fi action has plenty of retro charm today… Rated: 3/5 May 10, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews An inane but entertaining horror comedy. Rated: C+ Jun 2, 2020 Full Review Josh Goller Spectrum Culture There's ample retro-futurist quaintness in this film, as with most pre-internet B-movies with a technophobic bent. Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Sean Mulvihill FanboyNation.com 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 Nov 1, 2018 Full Review James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk 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 Sep 29, 2016 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy Disreputably fun... just about the best low-budget movie about killer robots destroying a shopping mall that can ever be produced. Rated: 7/10 Jul 31, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel D The Cast was stupid and unlikeable and the plot was very stupid. Avoid this movie at all cost! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review Chris B Boring and rubbish. This movie was not scary at all. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Audience Member Decent 80's horror flick. Good concept but unlikeable cast. Worth a watch once but that's it Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review Gregory T I had low expectations, and it exceeded them by far. An outrageous and campy 80's sci-fi slasher at its best. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review xpig332 B I can’t believe this is rated so low, it’s a great Bad movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/24 Full Review Sohnya K This movie is exactly what you'd want from the poster. Cheesy popcorn horror. Great to watch with friends on a big screen! The robots are a ton of fun and any bad continuity errors or acting just fleshes out the mood of the film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
