This film called Rubber has been on the periphery of my radar for quite some time now. I’ve first heard of it when word trickled out of the After Dark Film Festival in 2010 where it was shown. From what I’ve heard of it the film wasn’t well-received when it was shown at 2010’s Cannes Film Festival. I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t seen in a positive light over there. This film seems to be not the usual fare to get the applause and accolades.
Rubber seems to have gotten a more positive response outside of Cannes. This is especially true with the genre festival circuits.
From the looks of the trailer and synopsis of it on wiki I will hazard a guess and say that the tire is alive and looks to go on some sort of killing spree. The scene in the beginning of the trailer reminded me of the short film Treevenge! especially when the tire watched as a pile of rubber tires were being burned.
The film has been called a horror comedy and the trailer definitely gives it a dark comedy look to it. It comes out from Magnet Releases this April Fools Day.

Okay, that has to be one of the strangest things I’ve seen since Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. 🙂 I can’t wait to see it.

If you go right into the very beginning of the site you’ll see the greatest film ever made. I think it was the second or third post I ever made.

Is this based on a true story?
