"3 ½ Stars. RUBBER is simply its own freaky, smart, unsettling thing."
"RUBBER is some kind of miracle."
"No self-respecting cult film fan will want to say they didn't see this (RUBBER) during its initial theatrical run."
"Bat-$#%& WONDERFUL."
"Chock full 'o Scanners-style erupting craniums and MINDF#%CKERY GALORE… You've never, ever seen anything like it."
"ROGER CORMAN by the way of SAMUEL BECKETT - one of the smartest films of the year. An effortless watch—as funny and entertaining as they come."
"It examines the relationship between an audience, art and the artist, while also being about, yup, a tire that develops the ability to blow up people’s heads."
"An INCREDIBLY ORIGINAL CREATION from a mind unafraid to move well beyond the traditional and into the realm of Bat-$#%& CRAZY."
Rubber is the story of Robert, an inanimate tire that has been abandoned in the desert and then suddenly and inexplicably comes to life. As Robert roams the bleak landscape, he discovers that he possesses terrifying telepathic powers that give him the ability to destroy anything he wishes. At first content to prey on discarded objects and small desert creatures, his attention soon turns to humans, especially a beautiful and mysterious woman who crosses his path. Leaving a swath of destruction behind, Robert becomes a chaotic force and truly a movie villain for the ages.
