Good concept, poorly executed.

As Good As It Gets

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

It's an experiment in human behavior. It's an exploration of the most natural of animal impulses. It's something new under the moon. And it bites. When security dispatcher Aaron Scates (Cory Monteith, Final Destination 3) is blinded in an explosion, he's put in the care of Dr. Andrea Hewlitt (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Justine Bateman, Arrested Development), famous in her field for spearheading extraordinary-though controversial-medical breakthroughs. Her newest is cross-species organ transplants, and Aaron is her first human subject. When a severely wounded wolf is brought to Dr. Hewlitt's office by museum curator Lydia Armstrong (Tinsel Korey, Into the West), Dr. Hewlitt leaps on the opportunity and successfully transplants the wolf's eyes to Aaron-despite Lydia's objections. Aaron, however, is thrilled. Not only can he see again, he can see in the dark. He also has an unusually acute sense of hearing, and tears into a raw steak like never before. Unfortunately, he also tends growl, and to target people as prey. Lydia knows why. Knowing Aaron is in danger-to himself and to others -Lydia confesses that she too is a cross-breed but has learned to channel her feral instincts into a source of strength, not violence, with the help of her shaman friend, Claude Robertson (Gordon Tootoosis, Dreamkeeper). After Lydia and Aaron explore their other animal instincts in the privacy of Lydia's lair, she takes him to Claude's for a rite-of-passage to integrate the young man's spirit with that of a wolf. But Dr. Hewitt's colleagues, who have seen Aaron's wilder side, are determined to hunt the beast down and destroy him. What they don't know is that Aaron has more on his side than a shaman and an empathetic girlfriend. He's made some new friends at the zoo. They travel in packs. And they don't need a full moon to commune. Like Wolfen, The Howling, and An American Werewolf in London before it, Hybrid delivers a snarlingly sharp twist on the werewolf genre for an all new generation of animal lovers.not the best movie I've seen, yet I still would not recommend watching the movie.

When the operator of security cameras of the Olaris Corporation Aaron Scates (Cory Monteith) watches one of his colleague trapped in a fire, he saves him but burns his eyes becoming blinded. Dr. Andrea Hewlitt (Justine Bateman), who is ahead of a secret research of eye transplant, decides to use Aaron as a human subject of her experiments, successfully transplanting the eyes of a wolf found wounded by the half French half American Indian Lydia (Tinsel Korey), restoring his vision. However, Aaron changes his behavior and abilities, as if he were dominated by the spirit of the wild wolf. Lydia helps Aaron to escape from the facility and go to the woods while the government troops chase him."Hybrid" is a weird little movie with a quite original story. Unfortunately and probably due to the restraint budget, something is missing to make "Hybrid" a good movie. The unknown Cory Monteith shows a great physical shape but the plot does not work well and in the end this film is a forgettable entertainment. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Olhos Selvagens" ("Wild Eyes")

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.

Okay, after reading some really brutal reviews and having seen the movie myself, I'm still getting mixed feelings.It has the potential to be a good movie, but there's a lot of confusion, a ton of loose ends, and scenes that feel really out of place.Case in point, how does him having the eyes of a wolf give him the instincts and memories of one? Eyes don't have memories, they merely transmit them. That's like saying if you look into a mirror you can see everything that has ever been reflected in that mirror. Obviously, you can't.The weird scene with the monkeys getting out of their cages made no sense either, and how he just runs up to the Indian girl's door 3/4 of the way through the movie and next minute they're doing it? What the heck? Overall, I'd say it's not a good enough movie to watch for the sake of watching a movie, but if you're seeking some artistic inspiration it might be worth your time, especially if you're aiming for a nature or native American theme.
