Super Hybrid Reivews: “Stupid, but Effective”

While no one seems to really like killer-car flick Super Hybrid, some reviewers at least find a couple of pleasing aspects to the chiller.  FEARnet’s Scott Weinberg finds the premise behind the car—that it is, in fact, a shapeshifting monster capable of turning into any car it wants—original enough, and appreciates the look of the film—”for a silly Canadian low-budget car-monster movie, Super Hybrid is surprisingly nice to look at”—and ultimately finds it “mindless but adequately colorful.”  Mike Long at DVD Sleuth has a similar reaction: “The story is pretty stupid, but the movie is one of the better ‘it came out of nowhere’ low-budget horror movies which I’ve seen lately.” Porfle at HK and Cult Film makes an equally conditional recommendation:

“If you’re in the mood for a low-budget version of ALIEN with a car instead of an alien and a parking garage instead of a spaceship, and you aren’t expecting something on the level of CHRISTINE, you can probably have some fun watching SUPER HYBRID.”

IMDb users aren’t nearly as forgiving.  They give it 3.8/10 stars with 322 votes counted.

Super Hybrid, starring Oded Fehr, is out now.
