It's Robot Blood 

Like any good horror film from the 80's the image on the poster is nowhere in the actual film.  It's a shame because I would kill to see that movie, haha "kill".  Chopping Mall is the definitive cult film, it's not very good but it is not completely terrible.  It follows the familiar tropes, with the cool guys and the nerds fighting together, the evils of sex which means nudity! Well, boobies.  

The intro was reminiscent of Fast Times with people going to and fro inside a mall depicting restaurants and arcades.  Although Dawn of the Dead tackled the "trapped in a mall" theme eight years earlier, this film is not as eloquent and doesn't seem to provide social commentary on the shopping obsessed culture of the time.  Instead, we get a fun, fairly entertaining story about killer sentient robots brought to life a la Frankenstein.  The 30 something looking "teens" get together to try to eliminate three evil robots but only a couple people make it out alive in the end.  There are a couple" oh come on" moments in the film that eventually become funny and help add to the enjoyment of the experience.  

I had no idea what this film was about, I thought it was a slasher film from the 80's and was surprised to find it was about robots. Throughout the film I considered writing an updated remake of this because I was getting ideas until  I read there is a remake in the works where they are replacing the robots with possessed mannequins.  Lame. why even call it Chopping Mall?  they should just do an updated After Hours episode the next time they try to reboot Twilight Zone for the nineteenth time.  I'm not bitter, man that art work is cool.
