Olhos Selvagens

So this little jem came at a .. what's next moment. Not the blockbuster but has a lot of love and some what if. This is right up there, for me, with powow highway and interstate 60. The conclusion is the heart of this gem.

Now this one did have a very interesting concept at the very beginning,, you get blinded,, and lose you're sight,, would you rather be blind rest of you're life,, or get some cool looking wolf eyes,, well heck the answer is easy ,, you go for the wolf eyes, right,, well as the movie progresses our character should have stayed blind,, he starts to develop strange wolf like behavior during the movie,, like howling,, trying to attack people,, he wants to start running with the pack and all of that good stuff, you gotta love the color of those wolf eyes, those very kewl,, what i didn't care for is the use of the stupid military in this movie again,, ihate when Hollywood has to bring in the military for a needless reason,, yeah the movie is hokey in spots sure,, and Justine Bateman is great in here also i thought,, a watchable movie indeed.

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.

With the sound off this could be mistaken for a movie about a guy using the Native American technique of running with animals to train for a marathon.

Man loses eyesight, gets wolf eye transplant, begins acting wolf-ish. Weak ass tropes and lots of repetitive wolves in the wild trances/flashbacks follow. We've got the super rare steak eating scene. Some running with puppers. Seeing and hearing better. Biting people... with normal human teeth mind you. But no transformations. Just becoming super best buddies with a pack of wolves and loads of shirtless running.

The romance is forced and weird. The dialog is abysmal, every line is utterly forgettable. The villain is the military in its usual roll, you know the one, wanting to use scientific advancements for war. With some Native American schlocky mysticisms sprinkled liberally throughout. The ending seemed to drag on forever.

Does not, I repeat, does not fall into the so bad it's good category (which sucks because I live for those movies). I don't think it could even be saved by RiffTrax because there are just too many scenes of wolves running, him running, and nothing really happening besides running.

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. :(
