L'Shanah Tovah! It's finally September, but it's still hot outside and I can't go to Target until next week because I just know they won't have their Halloween business up yet and I can't face another disappointment.
This is a movie about a bunch of twenty-something kids who spend the night inside a mall and die at the hands of robot security guards who come to life after the mall is struck by lightning. Genius. Chopping Mall is genius.
This movie also features one of my favorite tropes: the slutty short guy. I don't just say this because I struggle to maintain my 5'8" stature (thanks, Boniva), but it has been scientifically proven that short guys have more sex than tall guys because we have something to prove. Chopping Mall isn't afraid to go there.
The cast of Chopping Mall is a veritable who's who of 80s horror - Barbara Crampton from Re-Animator - Gay Russell Todd from Friday the 13th Part 2 - Kelli Maroney from Night of the Comet. Keep your eyes peeled and you'll even see Joey from the Nightmare on Elm Street movies shoplifting records. But you don't have to take my word or even wait for a repertory screening, Chopping Mall is currently streaming on Amazon Prime.
