RUBBER (2010)
QUENTIN DUPIEUX
Plot
'Rubber' is the story of Robert, an inanimate tyre abandoned in the desert that suddenly and inexplicably comes to life. It discovers that it possesses terrifying telepathic powers that give it the ability to destroy anything it wishes and while, at first, content to prey on small desert creatures its attention soon turns to humans. Leaving a trail of destruction across the desert landscape Robert becomes a chaotic force to be reckoned with and a true movie villain for the ages. Directed by electro-chancer Mr Oizo, this parody of low-budget American horror films of the 1950s and 60s is an unarguably original tribute to the cinematic concept of "no reason".
