Hybrid (2007)
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 is blinded in an explosion, he's put in the care of Dr. Andrea Hewlitt, 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, 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.

Very disappointing...
Great Film overall
As Good As It Gets
an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Frightening film dealing with the consequences of science gone mad and the terrible results of horrible laboratory experimentation. While this deals with the implantation of the eyes of a wolf into the sockets of a human, it serves well as an overall cautionary tale regarding the steps that are being taken in the name of science to invade the realm of the natural and assaulting that which is outside our domain. Powerfully expressed through a brilliant script by Arne Olsen and stunningly directed by Yelena Lanskaya, this motion picture features superb performances by Tinsel Korey, William MacDonald, and the always welcome Justine Bateman. The imagery is haunting and the horror is sometimes simply overwhelming in its intensity. The important message of the film does not preclude it being a terrific genre entry and entertaining movie. Do not miss the jolting terror, unholy monstrousness, and disturbing horror that is Hybrid.
I actually thought that this movie pretty good. But can be re-filmed to be better. Everyone who thought this movie was bad is wrong it is good! Especially with Cory Monteith. Obviously there was going to be no singing It was made in 2007 and Glee was made in like 2009! Cory had no idea That he was going to be a Glee star.Also I like how they didn't actually make him actually turn into a wolf (Even though I like that sorta stuff) Because in most movies its stereotypical. He gets bitten, His life sucks. Loses everything and then turns out right. BUT! in this movie It was a whole different concept. I liked it and Maybe in the future they can make it better.
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.
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.
