Rob1n: Inteligência Assassina

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.

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.

I have read greeting cards with stronger plots. Rob1n is one of the most aimless, confused, and convoluted films I've ever had the misfortune of watching. It has no ideas, and so for 90 minutes it just ambles from circumstance to circumstance, explaining very little. The elements of the story that are explained are overwrought, boring, and purposeless. It would genuinely be more interesting and gratifying to watch paint dry. At least something would happen-the paint would dry! That is nearer to intrigue than anything in Rob1n. It is not fun, it is not good for a night in with your friends, it is not even cheaply scary. It literally does nothing for 90 minutes and then ends. Bad, no good movie.

This movie gave me Blood Buddy vibes. If you guys don't know anything about Blood Buddy, basically it was Chucky's original script before Don Mancini changed the script for Child's Play. I don't know if you guys ever seen Pinocchio's Revenge, that movie used the Blood Buddy script and it told the story of what Child's Play/Chucky story was supposed to be. Anywho this movie Rob1n had a bit of Blood Buddy vibes which i noticed a few scenes that was taken from the Blood Buddy script which I liked. I always like movies that use the Blood Buddy script cause it tells us what Chucky was originally supposed to be before script got changed. If you like the Chucky movies, I think you'll like this movie.

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 !
