The name "Hybrid" is certainly apt, since this film is indeed a mix of all that has come before, with not a single original thought in its head. But it deserves mention for actually being spoofed dead on in another film I watched, "Dr. Horror's House of Idiots". Yes, that's the title. Checking the original again, even the same names were used. No surprise here, as "Hybrid" star Brinke Stevens wrote the spoof :) She must have had fun getting even!

Best thing in film is seeing what appears to be extra stock footage from "Damnation Alley" Dig that crazy truck!

Even though "House of Idiots" is funny on purpose and "Hybrid" by accident, both films should be in a double-bill.

I had bought this film at a Chiller convention a while back, but never watched it. I know I got it from Debbie Rochon who said it was a very special film. Having just watched the entire DVD, it was indeed a big surprise. There is way too much plot to go into, but let me just say the the entire world of cult-horror-b-movies-erotic is joked about. I'm a fan of Trent Haaga and he is at his best here as a dead-again type zombie. Lots of stars appear including Zacherley! As for the humor, it goes from generally funny to incredibly inspired, but it helps if you are familiar with what the film is poking fun of. Also should mention Brinke Stevens here. The film is filled with references to her, and didn't realize until I looked at the box that she was a co-writer on this movie! There is a section that spoofs her film "Hybrid" and it had me on the floor laughing. I feel this is kind of a breakthrough film for her and very neat to have one 'scream queen' writing the lines for another! Back to my favorite Debbie Rochon though, she is treated like a real movie star in this film, can't explain but glides effortlessly through the whole film. Throughout the story, someone always asks where the erotic parts of the movie are, as if winking at ourselves at the cheap erotic movies. I don't think the movie is erotic at all but it's really funny.
