I was shown the trailer to this film a little while ago by the Mac and it certainly stood out to me as one of the most bizarre premises for a film in a long time. The film follows Robert, a psycho-kinetic sentient murdering tire as he sets his sights on a desert town. From all reports so far the smell of burning rubber can be smelt wafting through the entire film and even the presence of Wings Hauser and some quite awesome self-guided tire effects is not enough from saving this film from being tossed in amongst the other loose cinematic "spares". At the same time the shear absurdity of the premise will probably be enough for some of you and such a film could easily be seen entering the ranks amongst many other unsuspecting recent cult favourites. The grindhouse type advertisement surrounding it makes me think of it as a spin-off movie for the possessed wheel of Tarantino's Death Proof vehicle although this time it appears to be lacking the same throttle. To move away from cheesy tire related puns why not view the trailer yourself and make your own mind up whether or not you think Rubber revs your engine.
