Hubcap

This kind of off-the-wall comedy is what indie filmmaking is all about. If you want your standard comedy then stick to studio movies but if you're a little tire of the same old, same old then give this crazy flick a shot. It is really far out. I don't know what the writer was on but whatever it was it worked. I don't think you can come up with a half-baked idea like this while sober. The movie is very well shot and the acting is fantastic. It is entertaining throughout, which is more than I can say for lots of studio films, and it is, for the most part, fairly clean. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Do you remember the hubcap pictured in the beginning of The Polar Express? This movie gives that scene a sinister origin story for the shiny and possibly self-aware hubcap vibrating in the opening scene of that classic Christmas movie! What if that object had gone on a mission of revenge and meting out justice? This movie tells that story, so buckle up for a fun ride with some gratuitous sex scenes because the director just wanted to add them for no reason at all. Lol! Based on a true story of the haunting tale of consciousness transfer to an object, this hubcap will track down the truth about this small town's Sheriff's history and delivers a satisfying punishment for the small town sinners. 😀

A very odd movie about a vengeful hubcap that is the reincarnated spirit of a run over handicapped veteran rolling around a small town helping some people out of a jam and injuring others doing bad things. Whoever came up with this plot is either a genius or crazy as hell. Nothing questionable, no nudity, some foul language, interesting cast of characters that stereotypically define an area in Georgia. The hubcap seems to know who to wreak havok with or scare or save from harm like it has eyes and a conscience as it rolls around or adheres to a car or truck to get to a far destination. Goofy story but strangely odd enough to keep you wondering what will happen next. Very odd indeed. You'll never look at a hubcap the same ever again.

I was willing to give this a go, due to it having a reasonable rating on imdb and also a very strange premise. Unfortunately i found this movie to be incredibly tedious with a terrible script, amateur acting, incredibly bad sound quality and poor attempts at comedy (cinematography is fine for the most part). A number of characters introduced were completely pointless and the plot was all over the place. The film really seems to completely run out of steam in the.third act; they even 'shot the rodeo' ....Ive seen some great low and even no budget movies in the past, but this is one everyone can safely skip as you will be missing nothing. Wash your car instead.

I know...a movie about a flying hubcap that kills people...you are thinking LSD 3AM obscure channel with nothing else on.... However.....

Give it a chance! The movie wasn't as silly as the title might lead you to believe. There was an actual plot with a couple of subplots that made sense when put together. And the reason for the Hubcap becoming to life again there is a reason behind it...replace "Hubcap" with an animal etc., a protector of the wronged and it does make sense.

Of course the token sex scenes (which IMHO weren't really needed) and some salty F bombs were minor detractions, and a little slow at times but again not too shabby.

And of course the ending leaves open the possibility of a sequel.... How about "The Cap is Back!"

So in conclusion, don't judge by the title alone...put it all together and give it a chance, its not all that bad!
