Summary Chopping Mall is remembered as a cheesy yet classic sci-fi horror movie reminiscent of the other films produced at the time. The film follows a group of teens trapped overnight in a mall with deadly laser-firing security robots known as Killbots. Chopping Mall was made in 1986, an era known for its growing horror market, with slasher movies and predictive science fiction becoming signatures of the genre.
Like Chopping Mall, the movie has a mix of both realistic and cheesy gore, though Re-Animator is notably more graphic in its kills. Its initial cut was too gory for an R-rating, but it was better received after initial edits. The unrated version is still available as the director's cut of the film. With its infamous gore and dry humor, Re-Animator has become a cult classic of 1980s horror.*Availability in US 1985's Re-Animator is a feature-length film based on H.P.
8 Killer Klowns from Outer Space Dir. Stephen Chiodo Close Killer Klowns from Outer Space is an alien invasion movie in which a small town is invaded by evil extraterrestrials who look like clowns. The Klowns plan to capture, kill, and eat the humans. Part of this movie's charm is the effects. The Klowns were made practically, using rubber suits and puppets, but often to great results. Though the Klowns don't necessarily look real, they are believable more often than not.
Director Stephen Chiodo Release Date May 27, 1988 Cast Suzanne Snyder , Michael S. Siegel , Grant Cramer , John Vernon , John Allen Nelson , Peter Licassi Runtime 88 minutes Writers Stephen Chiodo , Charles Chiodo 7 From Beyond Dir. Stuart Gordon From Beyond is a body horror science fiction in which scientists access other-dimensional creatures during a brain modification experiment. The head scientist is taken to their world and returns as a dangerous shapeshifting monster.
The creature feature is reminiscent of Gremlins, which premiered two years prior, but the production denies any official relationship between the franchises. Along with the Critters, the bounty hunters and their costumes bring their own level of cheesiness as they reveal their pre-shifted appearance in fun special effect makeup. The film is connected to Chopping Mall as it was supposed to be produced by Roger Corman, the husband of Chopping Mall's producer, Julie. Critters made $13.
Both Chopping Mall and Brain Dead are stories of man versus machine, though Brain Dead's plot is much more complicated and involved. The convoluted premise is the film's major detractor, though it rewards a rewatch to try to solve the Brain Dead mysteries. Viewers claim its style is reminiscent of director David Lynch in terms of plot and logic. Brain Dead and Chopping Mall were both produced by Julie Corman.
C.H.U.D.'s sequel C.H.U.D. II: Bud the Chud came out five years later, in 1989. Though, it's more of a zombie movie and doesn't contain any actual C.H.U.D.S.
