Why it’s HorroRated

Chopping Mall runs 77 minutes, wastes none of them, and knows exactly what it is from the first frame. The killbot design is creative, the pacing never lets up, and the cast includes Barbara Crampton and Dick Miller. It's the kind of film that could only have come out of mid-80s B-movie culture, and it wears that proudly. Pure cult horror that delivers on its premise completely.
