12 Sci-Fi Movies That NOBODY Understands

Directed by alternative music legend Quentin Duplieux, this strange desert-set sort-of-horror definite-comedy follows a telekinetic sentient tire which decides to start killing the denizens of a small outpost town—oh, and the whole thing is aware it’s a film in the weird meta sense, beginning with the actors acknowledging the audience and somehow managing to only grow more self-referential from there.

Rubber finds the thin, vaguely defined line between sci-fi, horror, comedy, and cartoons before gleefully skidding back and forth between genres, giddily grab-bagging elements of each category in order to produce a singularly surreal satire which must be seen to be believed.

Should you choose to sit through it, though, good luck making any sense of the film’s logic-free plot and bizarre characters.
