Bring Me the Axe! is a comedy podcast celebrating the best (and worst) horror from a time when the video store ruled the night. Every other week, brothers Bryan and Dave White (and the occasional guest) heed the call of nostalgia and evaluate the classic 70s and 80s horror movies they loved in their childhood to determine whether the movies are still relevant today or should be allowed to fade into obscurity.
This week we’re taking a trip back to 1986 for a look at Jim Wynorski’s sleazy switcheroo, Chopping Mall. With a poster meant to make you think you were getting some kind of slasher movie in a mall, Chopping Mall is pretty light on chopping but positively lousy with mall. Featuring a baffling plot that could reasonably support 30 minutes of running time, some cool killer robots, an appropriate amount of T&A for a Jim Wynorski movie, and some fun performances by Barbara Crampton and Kelli Maroney, Chopping Mall is a serious relic of 80’s horror that wins some and loses some.
When a bunch of grown-ass adults meant to be passed of as teenagers plan an orgy at a shopping mall furniture store, everything is going great until the mall’s security robots go nuts and start killing everyone in sight. They’ll have to summon their wits to survive the night and wreck these killbots before they wreck them.
