Viewing Notes

Also known as The Hybrid on Netflix Instant, I picked this at random and while not entirely successful, it was pretty decent. This could have played at Fantastic Fest and gotten an okay reaction.

The set design and weird, mantis-like radioactive mutants were great. I really liked the Russian scientist lady too, I just wish she’d been given a little more depth. All in all, a pretty capable little film and definitely worth a watch.
