Rubber
Director: Quentin Dupieux
Year Released: 2010
Rating: 3.0
Meta-horror novelty about a tire (yes ... a tire) that comes to life and realizes it can kill people using some kind of Scanners-esque telekinesis - there are spectators to this monstrosity, but they end up with either their heads blown off or poisoned by consuming turkey. Sure, you can probably argue (correctly) that it's a cutesy po-mo joke that grows tired well before the movie ends or you can go along with the sheer absurdity of it - I know I was personally amused by Stephen Spinella's Lieutenant character, who acknowledges it's "an homage" to "no reason" and repeatedly breaks the fourth wall. Why a tire? Why the hell not? A double feature of this and Killer Condom makes perfect sense.
