Eyes of Wolf

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.
