Rubber
“Are you TIRED of the expected?”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 63, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A tyre develops psychic powers and murderous intentions, while the film keeps asking what an audience expects from that information. This deliberate absurdist experiment is stranger than a simple killer-object romp. The premise is terrific conversation fuel; the self-aware detours are the dividing line.
