Unreal circumstances, predictability, corny phrases, and partial nudity... what more could you ask for?, 20 July 2001
9/10
Author: Caroline (carrotlinejb@yahoo.com) from Portland, Oregon

What more could you ask for in a cheesy horror film from the 1980s? This movie depicts a group of horny teenagers who are accidentally trapped in the mall overnight with three possessed security robots. Unreal circumstances, predictability, corny phrases, and partial nudity make this banal-plotted flick a true camp hit!
