Welcome to the Park Plaza Mall, where a group of teenage employees stay in the complex for a party after hours, patrolled by robotic security guards – what could go wrong?
From electrocuted cleaners to exploding heads, this low-budget b-movie horror not only stocks the shelves full of ‘80s-brand entertainment, but offers a wholesale discount on parables of capitalism.
Preceded by the avant-garde short film Necrology (1970), and followed by a virtual talk with cultural historian Kyle Riismandel.
This screening is part of Over the Counter Culture, a season of films curated by Joseph Wallace. For more info visit: counterculturefilm.com
