Rubber's Lover (ラバーズ・ラバー) is cult filmmaker Shozin Fukui's 1996 follow-up to 964 Pinocchio. Like its predecessor, it is an underground Japanese cyberpunk-horror film, shot in black and white.

Often interpreted as a prequel to 964 Pinocchio,^[1] Rubber's Lover details a clandestine group of scientists who conduct psychic experiments on human guinea-pigs that they take from the streets. Using brain-altering drugs, sensory deprivation and computer interfaces, they subject their patients to gruesome scientific tortures that often end in brutal death. After continued failure and pressure from the company to cancel the project, they pursue one last experiment using one of their own as a test subject – yielding dangerous results.

Like Tetsuo: The Iron Man, it is filmed in stark black and white and set in a decayed postindustrial city. Like that film, it utilizes horror imagery.
