What critics compared Chopping Mall to
Maybe later Peele can remake the cheesy 1986 horror movie Chopping Mall, which features a shopping mall security robot that goes on a killing spree, so we can bear witness to his intricate perspective on the dangers of economic materialism, corporate greed and free-market anarchy.
Where most killer-robot movies, from The Terminator to Chopping Mall, play on our fear of technology run amok…
The premise- animatronic robots on a killing spree- is a fun throwback to ’80s classics like Chopping Mall and fits comfortably alongside recent hits like M3GAN or Christmas Bloody Christmas.
