Hybrid (2007)

One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

HYBRID is another bottom-dollar TV movie that has something to do with the Sci-Fi channel in the US. It never should have been released. Advertised as some kind of werewolf film, in reality this is nothing more than an excuse to fill a TV slot on a Friday night and it has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Bland leading man Cory Monteith (I blame the script rather than the actor) stars as a security guard who has his eyes burnt out in a fire. He ends up having the corneas of a wolf transplanted into his own, which leads to perfect vision, but some unwelcome side effects as well. Monteith soon finds himself running in the woods at night while Native Americans, scientists, and the police hunt him down.The story is plot less and dull and what could have been the set-up for a fun, cheesy horror film is wasted through inactivity and dullness. Never has a film been so boring as in the many scenes of Monteith walking around acting wolf-like. Some genre clichés pop up here and there (there's a bar-room brawl and a brief bloody attack in the woods at night) but they're shown in snippets rather than in full and for 90% of the film it's just inaction and lifelessness. A heck of a lot of stock footage of wolves is used but even when they tint it purple it doesn't look interesting.I don't mind B-movies in general and I realise that, due to their low budgets, they're never going to have the same technical qualities or level of acting you'd find in a Hollywood blockbuster. Generally, though, B-movies compensate for their lackings through increased campiness, lots of action, and special effects to keep your mind off the other inadequacies. Not so here. I also want to make special mention of heroine Tinsel Korey who is one of the most unattractive and downright glum actresses I've ever seen in a leading role; if only she'd smile once in a while she might have been more appealing, but no, her character is a total non-event. As is the film.

I hired out Hybrid on the weekend. What a disappointment! A stupid lame attempt at a tele-movie. The guy they got for the lead was totally weak and when running {he did a lot} looked like he was eating those minty sweets...with his backside! The wolf contacts he wore were great, though I feel the actor relied on them too much, as there was nothing menacing about his acting at all. The wise native American Indian chick has to be one of the most stony hard faced hags ever seen. Talk about a sour cow! She smiled about once for the entire film, and I think that is because she had sex. The sex scene was lame too. They may as well have shown blowing curtains, if you can dig that.Last of all, and this is a big pet hate of mine, on the cover and the DVD menu, the losers digitally drew in cool sharp teeth on the guy. They were nowhere to be seen in the film. :(

This movie has some fatal flaws in it, how someone could walk through an open back door of a highly secure medical facility is unbelievable. Then this same person just walks around the facility and enters the Dr.'s office, is just bad writing or bad editing. Very very very predictable movie. I am not sure how this film got made, except it is was filmed in Canada, and probably received a government grant. I must say the person playing Aaron, Cory Monteith, did a good job.Unless you are really bored and there is nothing else to watch on television then I would say it will kill some time, but otherwise, it is a movie no actor would want on their resume.

When i saw the preview for this on TV i was thinking, "ok its gonna be a good werewolf movie" but it was not. it was not scary at all! acting was good, plot was horrible, the military bid was just plain stupid. I think the SCI-FI channel could of done better than this piece of crap. The movie made it sound like Arron was going to turn into a werewolf, instead he turned psycho and bit some doctor's throat out. If you have read some of my other reviews on other movies, there all positive, but this one is not simply because the story was terrible. One out of 10 max. Im sure you all were expecting some werewolf flick, but i bet you didn't expect this. Beyond Loch Nes was way better than this movie, heck, any movie thats on the sci-fi channel is better than this movie.
