Rubber (2010)

Born to roll
Robert goes on a killing spree. He uses his newly found telekinetic powers to make heads expode. Robert also happens to be an old tire. If it sounds ridiculous, it is. But that's one of the main things that I love about Rubber - it is ridiculous and doesn't take itself too seriously. The film is part parody and part homage. It is very well made, well plotted, the pacing is good, the FX are quality, and the cinematagraphy is great. It seems like an experiment in filmmaking but it doesn't seem experimental or unaccessible. Fans of good films in general, and especially horror fans, will get a kick out of this one.

Rubber bowled me over with 4 out of 5 Poblanos!
