Hubcap

"Hubcap" delivers a fun, campy horror experience reminiscent of cult classics like Rubber and Christine. Set in a conservative mountain town, the film follows Rainy Lawson, Georgia's first female sheriff, as she takes on a supernatural killer with an unusual form-a possessed hubcap. Alongside the horror, the film weaves in themes of vengeance, romance, and deep-seated social tensions, making for an engaging watch.

The movie embraces its B-movie aesthetic, leaning into the absurdity of its premise while keeping the audience hooked with its eerie atmosphere and unexpected moments of dark humor. It's a blend of supernatural horror and small-town drama that feels fresh and unpredictable.

That said, there are some technical shortcomings, particularly in the sound design. The dialogue mixing is inconsistent, with moments where background noise fluctuates noticeably between cuts. Some lines also seem to suffer from microphone issues, which can be a bit distracting. However, these flaws don't detract too much from the overall experience.

If you enjoy quirky horror films where everyday objects turn deadly, Hubcap is well worth a watch. It's a creative, revenge-driven horror flick with a unique premise, and despite some technical hiccups, it remains thoroughly entertaining.

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. 😀

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.

I got fooled by some of the reviews saying "give it a chance" or "ridiculously entertaining", but those are shameless lies obviously written by cast or crew of this ridiculous piece of total poop. At first I thought this is a parody and its taking a mickey out of some popular culture or what-not, so I'll give it a chance and wait for some laughs. But lo and behold, nothing funny at all was ever said or done in this disaster of a flick. There are no jokes in this movie, nothing even close, just sadness, bad acting, horrible writing and despair. No horror, no action, no drama...nothing. Well, the hubcap threw a rock at someone at one point using a wooden stick and a garbage pale. Terrific! This most've been some kid's high school project but waited till the last minute and whipped something up over the weekend just to do something, and this is the result: an absolute pice of trash of a movie that does not deserve anyone's time, trust me! It's not worth the disk space it occupied on my hard drive for 2 hours I had it before it got forever deleted and sent to the wastelands of digital trash where it belongs.

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!
