Summary: Fast Moving Scary Film!
Review: This movie turned out to be very exciting and entertaining as
well. A group of young people sneak into a shopping mall to stay all night. The security in the mall is handled by some mobile robots. These robots malfunction and begin killing the teenagers who are in the mall.These security robots even shoot lasers with their eyes.The special effects used on the robots make them even
more menacing.The night of fun turns into a night of total horror
thanks to the out of control robots. This is a very scary and a
very fast paced movie. The action in this movie is nonstop as well. This is a movie that you will enjoy.

Summary: Should have been titled Killbots!
Review: Upon first viewing of this film...I autimatically thought of it as a watered down, 80's style of the original Dawn of the Dead...but with robots!

We are in a mall with a handful of young adults with a teen-like behavior straight out of the 80's and of course it is the nerdy duo we care about most...the virgins. The character development is not the greatest and the ending is abrupt, but I found this film to be extremely entertaining for a cheesy horror flick. When it comes to my taste in horror...I love the good, bad and the crap in between...so of course this was a hit with me. This is one of those horror films you can throw in the dvd player and watch for no reason at any time.

This dvd did not receive 5 stars because this dvd only comes with a short featurette on the killbots discussing how they were made and a little background on them. I found the trailer to be most entertaining and wish that the movie had displayed what the trailer had...more gore with a cheesy twist! I would have loved to have seen an arm attached to a shopping bag being drug around the mall...or more "chopping" to fit with the title. This is why the creators should have run with the original title of "Killbots!" but it is understandable why titles must come out to make the film sound better (just like "The Book of the Dead" being renamed into "Evil Dead"). Only gore I can really remember was the head explosion but there are some parts that are great...just not real unique.

So if you are a fan of weird fun horror films then pick this up...you are sure to have fun with it. Just make sure it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg! ;)

Summary: Have a nice day
Review: Without getting into hyperbole, this is the best film made in a zillion years!!!! Well maybe not, but certainly the best from Hollywood's long line of feature films about sexy teens trapped in malls while being chased about by security guard robots who have been hit by lightning and now roll after the sexy teens and try to kill them.

The teens are divided into two groups - the two Virgins, and then the Lusty Horny types. Guess who dies first! The robots are very cute and roll about the mall (They take an escalator at one point, thus answering the question of how they maneuver between floors) to chase their sexy prey. The robots shoot rays of light at their prey, just like the Care Bears.

The teens, trapped in the mall by these killer robots, must face their fears of robots and the perils of consumerism and fight for surival in the ultimate battle of man vs machine. As the pun-friendly DVD states, the viewer will "shop till you drop...dead!" Dramatic!
