Summary: late-night aliens
Review: Alright, I happen to be a fan of the late night tele and Fred Olen Ray, so this review might be a little biased. First off, it's a very cheesy rip-off of Aliens. I think the truck in the beginning of this movie is from one of the Alien movies. The premise is different than Aliens, but the plot is the same:a beast that is a fighting machine kills people one at a time, minus the amazing ambiance and FX (even though, the monster is very amusing and not that quick, yet he killed 48 people!?). It even has an ode to Ed Wood when the aliens attack Earth at night and the buildings are shown blowing up in daylight. By the way, this scene has barely anything to do with the plot. The cheese has begun! There are even scenes where you can see the actor/actresses shadow on a wall that is not supposed to be there. The acting is weak, the dialog is weak [...], but what do you expect. It does, however, star scream queen Brinke Stevens, and that is a plus. The DVD overall is decent. There aren't many special features, but I do like night owl theater and the quality of the DVD is good. So, my point is that this is a great late-night movie to watch if you're into that sort of thing. It is fun, but not to be taken seriously. For fans of late-night TV only.

Review: don't really have much to say about this movie except it's god awful! i guess you shouldn't really expect much from fred olen ray though and his night owl theatre or whatever. anyways the creature is ridiculous and laughable. not to mention the acting is disgraceful. and the plot? well there really is none. another boring movie thats hard to sit through. definitely would pass this one up. few nude scenes but what horror movie doesn't have it's fair share of those. you've been forewarned

Summary: Roger Corman would have been better
Review: Fred O. Ray appears at the beginning of this film (DVD version) with an offer to write him a line, & he'll send you a free gift. Pitty it's not an invitation to get your money back.

This is set in a post-apocalyptic world. A creature wants to mate with a woman. That alone was enough to make me want to buy this, but it's a turkey, it's not even sexy. It's certainly not scary - except to realise that someone paid to have this film made!

Avoid!

Summary: NITE OWLS
Review: Fred Olen Ray's NITE OWL THEATER is the hosting entity for this lurid, derivative and downright awful sci fi flick. The best thing about the DVD is the opening with Ray acting as host, with some pretty cheesy broads and off color humor. I know he's laughing all the way to the bank on these straight to video howlers.
HYBRID finds our cast in a post-apocalyptic world trying to find shelter from an impending ion storm!! Needless to say they stumble upon a scientific lab where genetic experiments were being performed, of course those experiments went dangerously awry and one of the creastures (that looks like a mini-Godzilla)is on the loose. His goal: to mate with an earthling and create more mini Godzillas. The cast is horrible, even the usually enjoyable Tim Abell. Scream queen Brinke Stevens emotes like a jellyfish and J. J. North has huge boobs, but sounds like the voice of a Barbie doll. G. Gordon Baer as the requisite whining ex-prisoner is so bad one can't wait for him to bite the dust. John Barrymore III gets top billing but is offed rather early in the film. The special effects are laughable, the editing amateurish and the whole thing is really a bad movie. If not for Ray's opening, it would only have gotten one star. Rent, but don't buy unless you're feeling sadomasochistic.

Summary: Title Confusion and Misleading Reviews
Review: In 1997 a sci-fi movie titled "Hybrid" and directed by Fred Olen Ray was released. In 2000 a documentary titled "Hybrid" about Milford Beeghly (an Iowa farmer and early developer of hybrid seed corn) and directed by Monteith McCollum was released. The customer reviews for Hybrid seem to be about the sci-fi movie, but the product details suggest the documentary is the actual item.
