Rob1n: Inteligência Assassina

After proposing to his girlfriend Lexi (Leona Clarke), Leo (Ethan Taylor) decides to reach out to his wealthy, estranged uncle Aiden (Simon Davies), who has suffered from serious memory loss following a car accident. The young couple are invited to stay at Aiden's country house, and are surprised to find that the old man shares his home with a robotic doll called Robin, built as a replacement for his dead son.

If you hadn't guessed already from the title, which 'cleverly' replaces the letter i with the number 1, Rob1n was 'inspired' by M3gan, but made on a fraction of that film's budget, it's nowhere near as slick. The rather clunky script treads water for much of the time, the acting is weak, and Rob1n's murderous AI child robot is a rather pathetic looking specimen, the only parts that are seen moving being the eyes and the head, which tilts a bit from time to time.

That said, I didn't completely hate the film: it features more gore than M3gan, which is a bonus - M3gan was waaay too dry - and there are a few surprises in the final act that I didn't see coming. And as cheap as it all is, writer/director Lawrence Fowler occasionally achieves something approaching tension (but does rely too heavily on loud noises to scare the viewer). Given that I had absolutely no expectations from this film, I would actually say Rob1n was a less disappointing experience than M3gan, even if M3gan is more entertaining overall.

Dont look at it as other media like dolls and stuff just think about it as Pinochio gone wrong and it becomes a good movie with a decent twist at the end ,granted it starts slow but ramps up from the middle i see the low scores and i dont get it....iv seen movies that ir worth a 1 or 2 or 4 but in general most movies ir a 6 or a 7 dont trust the reviews and watch the movie in the end you will probably enjoy it more then you think and dont go in thinking this movie is more then a b movie but in the end im shure you wont think this movie is a 1 like people gave it , i dont relly do reivews but this time i feel like i had to do it !

So let's get this out of the way: This film was obviously, unbelievably, derivative of M3GAN. By premise, style, and even the title where it's a name with a number replacing a letter.

I realize that creativity is largely dead nowadays, and that 99% of filmmakers have resorted to blatantly copying others' work and claiming it to be their own... But I feel like at least SOME effort should be put into making it less obvious.

If you've ever wondered what M3GAN would look like if it were stripped of its charm, budget, originality, and even basic narrative coherence, look no further than Rob1n.

Enjoy the copy/paste.

This movie is not what it looks like, it's a good horror movie. It may not be perfect, but it's worth the watch. The movie really did a great job with Rob1n. I don't get the negative reviews, this is a perfect date movie. It's not too scary but it will keep you entertained. Some moments were pretty scary. I don't get the negative reviews, this is a perfect date movie. It's not too scary but it will keep you entertained. Some of you movie reviewers are miserable people and hyper critique a movie. You can tell it didn't have the best actors or high budget but it did get me to the edge of my seat. 7/10.

When I stumbled upon this 2025 horror movie and seeing the cover, my first initial thought was a blatant rip-off of the "M3GAN" movie. I mean, a movie about an artificial being given life, whom kills people, and even the use of a number in the name of the title, it just screamed "M3GAN" rip-off.

But still, since "ROB1N" was a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give writer and director Lawrence Fowler the benefit of the doubt.

Writer and director Lawrence Fowler put together a fair enough script. Sure, it was rather generic and formulaic in terms of homicidal artificial toys go, and there are other and older movies about killer toys out there that fared way better. That being said, I am not saying that "ROB1N" was a bad movie, because it is a watchable movie and entertaining enough movie nonetheless.

The narrative is a bit slow paced and you have to sit through 70 minutes of writer and director Lawrence Fowler establishing the story and setting the mood before things start to happen. I am sorry, by 70 minutes into the 91 minute runtime, then it was just too little, too late.

I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, and that was something that spoke in favor of the movie. I do enjoy watching new and unfamiliar talents on the screen when I sit down to watch a movie. In all fairness, then the acting performances in the movie were adequate.

As a seasoned horror veteran then I found "ROB1N" to be a mere walk in the park. But I suppose that newcomers to the horror genre will get a much bigger kick out of watching this 2025 movie than I did.

Clearly "ROB1N" didn't have the same budget as the movie "M3GAN" did, and thus don't expect a grand spectacle of effects here. I will say, though, that I actually found the effects in "ROB1N" to be fair enough, and the robot was actually well enough made. And the few effects that were in the movie were certainly adequate enough.

This is hardly a movie that warrants more than a single viewing.

My rating of writer and director Lawrence Fowler's 2025 movie "ROB1N" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.
