mach0017-1 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.

lordsantiago 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. :(

Claudio Carvalho 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")

sol1218 **SPOILERS** Experimenting with organ transplants at the top secret Olaris Corp. Dr. Andera Hewlitt, Justine Bateman, has been able to successfully preform an eye transplant from a wolf to a baboon. It's when Dr, Hewlitt comes across a blinded security guard Aaron Scates, Cory Monteith, who was badly injured at a explosion at the plant he worked at that she used the eyes of a gray wolf to restore Aaron sight.It turns out that the wolf was brought to a local animal hospital by half French half American Indian Lydia, Tinsal Korey, who expected the injured animal to be treated for it's wounds not used in an laboratory experiment. Going to Olris Corp. to give Dr, Hewlitt a piece of her mind, on what she did to the injured wolf, Lydia is escorted out by security guards and told to stay within 50 feet of the place or else she'll be arrested for trespassing.It doesn't take that long for Aaron to realize that he not only has a new, and in good working order, pair of eyes but also a new sense of direction in life: That of a big and powerful Alpha Wolf! Aaron not only sees like a wolf but both smells and hears, and fights, like one as well. Aaron soon starts to get restless, hearing the call of the wild, and escapes from his hospital room running, bear-foot and with only his hospital pajamas on, into Lydia. Lydia upset at how she was treated at Olaris Corp. is driving home to her good friend and spiritual adviser Indian Shaman Claud Robertson, Gordon Tootoosis. Claud is the person who in the end would not only give the confused Aaron a reason for living, to reunite with his former wolf pack in the wild, but will save his life from the power-hungry military man Mobley, Will Woytowich. Mobley is trying to shut Aaron up about the secret experiments he was put under at Olaris Corp. If this all comes out Mobley and his both stooges and superiors will have to answer to congress and the American people in what their doing! Not in saving lives but, Mobley's real reasons for the wolf to human transplants, creating an super secret corps of mindless and vicious "wolfmen", who can see in the dark without the use of inferred goggles, to be incorporated into US military. The movie "Hybrid" doesn't get moving until Aaron completely abandons whatever human feeling he still has left and becomes a full fledged Alpha Wolf in the wild. After trying to rustle up a wolf pack in the civilized city all Aaron could get to follow him is a bunch of stray dogs. It's when Claud gets Aaron to understand his noble mission in life, with a whiff of ancient Native Amerian Indian wisdom, that he realizes that as much he likes his former life as a human being he's now and forever a child of the wild, and night. A wiser and enlighten Aaron now does according to what and where his animal instincts lead him. Aaron goes on to leading the wolf pack like he did in his previous life as the big gray wolf who's eyes he's now seeing with.
