Viewing Notes
I classified this as a horror movie, but that’s only because there really isn’t a classification to fit this great movie in to.
This was the central reason for my attending Sci-Fi Spectacular and I wasn’t disappointed.
I really had no idea what the movie was about other than the “sentient tire that can psychokinetically explode people’s heads” description I’d seen.
Rubber is really a satire of Hollywood, the filmmaking process, film festivals and movie audiences, and it’s brilliant at poking fun at all of it.
There isn’t a lot I can write here that won’t give things up. All I can say is definitely watch it.
As a nice little extra, we got small foam rubber tires as giveaways!
