Sounds like the old 80's movie...Chopping Mall


Anyone see that? It is cheesy as hell but funny too. Everyone is stuck in a mall with robots that malfunction and turn on the people staying there overnight.

I dunno, that sounds like it might actually be fun. So pretty much zero in common with Robocrapolis.

yup, but "chopping mall", despite it's low budget and cheese factor was about 100x better than this. this movie was just bad. mac-computer inspired fx, really, REALLY bad acting, terrible casting, boring, film-school-thesis script, and amateurish direction make this much, much less than fun...lots of potential but...

I thought referring to the first robot that goes wrong as a "Killbot" was a nice nod to "Chopping Mall". That was it's original title.
