This is what I remember horror movies from the 80’s being like. Also this is WHY I like horror movies from the 80’s so much.
Welcome to the mall, where you can buy most anything you want, eat a sammich, meet girls, and get your head spolded. Keeping the peace at this mall is the recently “hiring” three new automated robots. They are there to make sure that people don’t break in, don’t steal things — and after a lightning strike that fried their central computer– make sure that if you are in the mall after closing hours, dead. A group of teenagers are having a little party in the mall and aren’t aware that the robots are on a killing spree. Now they are fighting just to make it out of that mall with their lives.
This movie screams 80’s like few others I have seen so far. From the dialog, to the store fronts, and the clothes. Oh the clothes. I actually turned to my wife at one point and asked if maybe I was oblivious to the fact that women in the 80’s all wore “Mom Jeans”. I could not have been happier when the robots offed the dude that was chomping his gum the entire movie, and laughed out loud when his girlfriends head exploded after being shot by one of the robots lasers.
This is not a movie that you watch for the acting, or the set pieces. This is a movie that you watch because ever part of it is over the top. Sorry to see poor Dick Miller as the janitor get electrocuted, he was just doing his job.
That being said, it really is the perfect example of a crappy 80’s horror movie in every way.
