It must be about time for a new killer robot film to be made.... I'd go check it out if they didn't make it to cheesey and stupid (which would probably be the case).

Yeah, like Jaws. Basically, they should just have a psychological build up before unveiling the goods at the end. Unfortunately, it seems Hollywood is so in love with FX that they forgot the old magic of the psychological terror and suggestive photography.
Seeing someone look terrified but not seeing the actual thing they're afraid of is a good way to start, for example. Also, if you've ever seen the original "The Haunting" from 1963, it had some cinematography that is suggestive of something, along with sound effects. It's the simple task of letting people's imagination run loose with a idea they are going to be afraid of whatever it is.
Granted, some people may be dissapointed when they see the actual monster (mechanical or not). However, in the case of rabid robots running loose in a mall, it would probably be good to show them eventually.
