Two recent horror movies...

Murder Loves Killers Too I picked this movie up from a store close to where I work, and had to re-read the title a couple of times to make sure I was getting it right. The tag line, as it is on the cover of the DVD, goes like this: "Everyone knows killers love murder. But did you know...murder loves killers too." Seriously, that's what it says.

As it turns out, it is a slasher with more personality and style than I was expecting The ending was as over-the-top as most movies in that genre, but damned if I didn't kind of like it. And the soundtrack is to die for. Love that Naughty Mittens.

Chopping Mall Why I picked this out, I don't know. Well, actually I do know. I was thinking it might be just cheesy enough to be entertaining. I was not entertained, though, by this story about several teenaged couples who are trapped in a shopping mall overnight and wind up being ambushed by robot-security guards.

This movie from 1986 was a bit boring, and its '80s factor, which could've boosted the entertainment value if it had been done right, only made it annoying. The disco and new wave music is forgiveable, as is the big hair and Miami Vice clothing styles. The *valley girl speak* along with a dull plot - not forgiveable. Obnoxious.

  1. On title alone I always wanted to see Chopping Mall until I learned it was about robots. Meh!

    Have you seen Intruder? Everything I would want from a movie called Chopping Mall!
