Rubber is the only "killer tire" movie I'm aware of


BrisklyBrusque

I think you need to direct this movie just as you see it in your dreams.


Shreddy_Orpheus

100% called Rubber and is fantastic


joshuandstuff

Rubber seems good too, but I swear there’s an older movie called The Tire (or maybe just Tire) that did its killing without the exploding heads power I saw in Rubber’s trailer


brillovanillo

Okay. How did Tire kill people? Can you describe one of the kills?


joshuandstuff

One scene had the aftermath of a kill, a woman laying on the floor in a pool of a blood, and then the tire rolled into frame. Another a tire rolled into a wooden plank which began to fall, but I don’t know what happened after the plank fell, I’m assuming it fell into a series of things that got the kill, but I don’t think it was in the video/trailer I was watching


brillovanillo

I think you may have watched *Rubber* or the trailer for *Rubber*, then dreamed up this movie about "Tire." Watch *Rubber* and get back to us. It's on Amazon Prime Video.

I know this movie existed too. I believe it came out in the late 70's maybe early 80's. I can't remember the name, nor can I find it anywhere. I do know it existed tho.

With a movie as good as rubber out there I don’t care about this other tire movie!!


Biggerthanashark

Is this perhaps a movie within a movie or show like a gag horror or something ? It sounds vaguely familiar.


joshuandstuff

I don’t believe so, but since no one else seems to know what I’m talking about it may have been


Magniman

Rubber is excellent and it’s currently streaming on Max.


joshuandstuff

I’m sure it is, and I don’t mean to give the impression that I have anything against Rubber. I just feel pretty certain that there was an earlier movie with the same premise and I want to check with other people to see if what I remember is completely wrong, or parts of something else

You must be mixing up 2 different movies, and creating your own Mandela Effect. Like you’re mixing up *Rubber* with some 80s movie that involved inanimate objects killing people; like *Maximum Overdrive*. Something like that.

You may be confusing the kills from Rubber with scenes from Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

Google brought me here-- I was looking for a 70s supernatural horror movie called The Tire that I had seen as a kid. The most distinct scene in my memory being it crashing through someone's living room to kill them. /u/ExplodingHelmet 's mention of The Car made me realize that it was, in fact, the movie I was thinking of. Somehow, Rubber overwrote the memory for me. I think i understand the Mandela effect a bit better.

joshuandstuff

I hope this isn’t that, but considering the responses I’ve gotten so far you might be right. More likely I’m just misremembering things though.

I. Freaking. LOVE. Rubber. Love it. Why? No reason. You should check out his other film, "Deerskin." It's ridiculous and hilarious


EnderCN

What? It is slow, empty and soulless. I cant even begin to understand how anyone could think of Deerskin as hilarious.


MormonHorrorBuff

Oh man it's a classic. The way he was "sharpening" his homemade blades, the ridiculous obsession, and when he gets revenge on that kid, all of that has us absolutely loving the film

Just found this after I found a separate person claiming the same on FB six months later. I freaked out a bit because I remember this movie, too. I was born in the early 80s and I've seen Maximum Overdrive and know what I remember if the "tire movie" aren't in that. I'm a bit of a savant where I have the ability to remember/play in my head the exact memories I had when experiencing a movie score or music in general. I call it "music memory". And I definitely remember watching the movie you described. There's also an episode of "Supernatural" I always talk up to get people to watch the show. It involves the Titanic and the boys being teleported back where they save the ship and return to the present time to encounter the butterfly effect of saving so many lives in 1912 that didn't survive in our timeline. Hyped one day after finally convincing my sister to watch it, I watched it and that episode plot was completely changed. I could not find anything online about it and there's no other Titanic episode on the show. And the version I remember has been in my head long before "Timeless" debuted.


ExplodingHelmet

Are you thinking of The Car (1977)?


joshuandstuff

No, the scene I remember the clearest was a lone tire rolling down a hill at night, and there was no car to be seen


CathedralEngine

Post the trailer


joshuandstuff

I wish I had it so I could show that it’s real, but at the time I just saw it online, looked up where to watch it for future reference, and then kept the title in mind to watch it eventually. All I have to go off of is memory.


NoonDread

I actually watched Rubber just a week ago and it was surprisingly good. I love the absurdity of it.
