Awesome Movie

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Remember that movie The Animal that starred Deuce Bigelow Male Gigolo and that mildly cute girl from the first Survivor? He was a security guard or something and he was horribly injured so a mad scientist transplanted animal organs into his body and he got their powers? Well this is just like that except unlike The Animal it's not even accidentally funny, but the acting is better and it's somehow more believable.Basically Justine Bateman helps a dude out by replacing his damaged eyes with wolf eyeballs. This obviously leads to him developing wolf powers, like night vision, which is cool at first, until the more undesirable wolf traits start to manifest themselves, like growling, snarling, a thirst for human blood and butt-scooting across the living room carpet. This one's not bad and manages to add a twist to the werewolf mythology.

I can't blame Cory Monteith (Aaron) for what the director and film editor did with him - although most reviewers seem to blame him for the seemingly hours the camera spent watching him in close-up staring vacantly into the distance. I presume that was done to make sure we could see the cool wolf-eye contacts he was wearing. No acting was needed in these scenes, other than the ability to maintain a serious demeanor rather than breaking out in giggles.In the monkey-cage room near the end of the scene where the monkeys are out, the monkeys start jumping back into their cages, but does the Doctor close the doors behind them? Oh, no. She continues to panic and goes elsewhere.Finally, we get another hour of wolf-boy loping through the fields with his buddies the tame wolves, mostly them following him far enough behind that this could be construed as the wolves CHASING him, for an alternate ending. But the director chose to end it with Aaron following the wolf pack in their joyous romp in the fields.

It's almost a mission of mine to seek the worst film in the world, maybe to find one worse than the absolutely disgusting and so far not beaten Freddy Got Fingered, obviously this TV movie didn't beat it, but it certainly a bad one. Basically Dr. Andrea Hewlitt (Justine Bateman) and other scientists in a facility have been looking into ways to increase the potential of animals, and they have found a way to better the vision of some primates when they have gone blind with the eyes of wolves. They are hoping to really prove the experiment works by finding a human to have the same procedure, and after he is blinded in an explosion, security dispatcher Aaron Scates (Cory Monteith) is the perfect candidate. So he is brought in to bring his vision back with this extraordinary-though controversial-medical breakthrough with the help of a wolf who happens to be brought in as well, despite concern by museum curator Lydia Armstrong (Tinsel Korey). So when he wakes, Aaron is pleased to have his vision back through these new yellow wolf eyes, but he also has the advantage of seeing in the dark. Soon enough though more developments come when he gains a high sense of hearing, he has horrible visions of wolves in the woods attacking and other things, and then he starts growling, and targeting people as if they were prey. But worse comes when his personality is diminishing all together, to the point when he has become a full agitated wolf-human hybrid with a taste for raw meat, and tearing into it. Lydia however understands how this has happened, being a human-hybrid herself, but she has channelled any animal like instincts via her shaman friend Claude Robertson (Pocahontas' Gordon Tootoosis). Despite an animal bond and mating like thing between Lydia and Aaron, and some rite-of-passage stuff with Claude, Aaron can't help his animalistic side coming out very aggressively, and Dr. Hewitt's colleagues are determined to hunt him down like the creature has has become. Also starring Brandon Jay McLaren as Ashmore, Aaron Hughes as Wilcox and Brett Sorensen as Deaver. I can see the connection the critics say there is to a B-movie theme, I found it similar to the theme in the Japanese film The Eye, but with the new additions to the body changing you into something else. However, this film completely fails to scare you, the dialogue is awful, the acting is dreadful, the action - if that's what you can call it - is pretty boring, I would have be out of my head to watch this abysmal science-fiction horror again, which I never will do. Poor!

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. :(
