The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Wow. This has to be one of the finest pieces of non-feature film-making I have ever seen. The best way to describe would be: The baby from EraserHead having grown up and become professional dancer.The opening scene is one of the creepiest things ever put to screen. I could barely even watch. It lessens once Aphex Twin's music kicks in, but then your fear is replaced by wonder at the truly incredible editing techniques and visual effects.The whole things screams for Chris to do a feature film, a truly twisted and bizarre film in the style of the aforementioned EraserHead.Also recommended: Windowlicker and Come To Daddy.

Rubber Johnny is conceptually brilliant but fails on several levels. The first problem is that is runs for a minuscule 6 minutes.... take away the credits and you're left with a 4 minute film. That in itself would not be a problem if the narrative was better.With such rich material here, Cunningham really could have stretched this out a lot longer... 30-45 minutes would have been excellent. This would have allowed for us to fully understand Rubby Johnny.... it would then be a feast for the mind as well as a feast for the eyes.Not to mention that there was a big teaser trailer released to promote this film... was it worth the wait? Not particularly. But is good eye candy.

6 minutes of dark and disturbing video... but in an entertaining way.I was in awe by the end of the short, it has had a mood altering effect to anyone who I have shown it to, an almost shocking quality that you can't help but feel. I am not usually a fan of this genre, but you can't help but realize the genius that went into making it. But you have to also wonder "what kind of person is thinking this stuff up?", Since watching this I did a little research of Chris Cunningham's work, the guy really knows how to grab your attention and hold it. I really look forward to seeing future works from him.A definite must see! Rubber Johnny is on the cusp of cult status.

Rubber Johhny is the latest effort from British film maker, Chris Cunningham. Cunningham has extensively worked with electro music legends, Aphex Twin, together they have created some of the most disturbing music videos ever, including 'Come to Daddy'.Rubber Johnny is a disturbing trip into the mind of a isolated, disfigured misfit who is locked in a basement. His only company is a dog.Using rapid editing and distorted camera work, Cunningham has created a visceral nightmare which manages to shock during it's six minute running time. Cunningham obviously has a lot of confidence when it comes to combining music with vision, and this is Rubber Johhny's genius. The film will undoubtedly leave a sick taste in your mouth, but the running time is disappointing. I was left wanting a lot more.Please give Chris Cunningham a big budget so he can create a 90 minute nightmare.
