Scintilla Audience Reviews

UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
kalngublers &&& SPOILER!! &&& This movie is entertaining to a very specific audience type. This is a very revealing spoiler post because some movies just make you go-- really?? I will give you this opportunity to skip this review and go to the next one. I never reviewed a movie before this. This was on Netflix, so hoping it might be along the lines of "Stranger Things". It wasn't rated and I thought my kids age 11 could watch it. Noway! Definitely rated R. If not for the violence, the language is over the top. An "F" word on practically every scene. B movies add that to make up for other absent content. No action in the movie happens till literally the halfway point. That seems to be the attractive point for some people. You are just there with the crew- taking the trip- no fluff or pansies invited. I don't mind that so much. Still the "elite" part was minimal- basic equipment. And mostly they walked around looking through binoculars with guns always ready, until they get in the building, then they walk through hallways- forever! It was indeed "realistic" in the sense that nothing "sci-fi" or really "horror" related occurs unless you call shooting horror and sci-fi. The aliens like people have mentioned are not alien looking. Watch it if you liked "Blair Witch Hunt". In positive retrospect, the movie had something that draws you in, and you feel you are there with the characters- in a war-torn, post apocalyptic scenario. The squad members are likable, and the acting isn't so bad. Just select a different trip for the kids!
calexicoca So many times here on IMDb you will see good reviews for absolute garbage of a movie. Obviously people involved with the production were very active to provide good reviews because it benefits them only. I don't know what can be done to avoid this, but IMDb has to come up with some kind of safeguard, otherwise reviews and scoring will become totally irrelevant.That is the case for this piece of s. When you read these reviews after watching the movie it just makes you laugh and be angry at the same time because of obvious manipulation. Don't waste your time on this turd!
hissy23 I knew nothing of this movie, hadn't even heard of it before watching, therefore I had few expectation and to be honest didn't expect to last more than 10 - 15 mins. And I almost gave up during the first act - I'm not a fan of Dirty Dozen vs The Alien type action movies. But I'm so glad I kept watching. Superb.Something about the setting, the atmosphere and the alien just got under my skin. I found it truly disturbing - in a good way if that's possible. It unnerved me in a way big budget mainstream sci-fi / horror movies usually fail to. In my opinion it is a Prometheus on a small budget - creepy and uncomfortable but beautiful in it's simplicity.So glad I watched - this will stay with me for weeks ... those eyes!!!Well Done All.
alshwenbear1 Watching this film, brings back memories of movies like The Wild Geese (1978), Alien (1979), Scanners (1981), all of them building up slowly, and precise to get to the point of the story, diversifying without giving more than the necessary, leaving behind characters, to bring them up later, when absolutely necessary, twisting the plot to the convenience of the viewer.And all of this to my satisfaction: to shut the mouth of a a dumb guy who posted on youtube "Leave movie making to America, please." I just watched "The Hybrid" and even when it falls a little short on what it could be your expectations, its worth of your time, its in part, like those old 70's flicks, with the real craving for the popcorn, while you lean towards the screen for the next twist of the story, and as "The Terminator" (1984) became an "original" concept, I wouldn't discard "The Hybrid" for a sequel or a Hollywood remake, because it has the proper elements for it.And is worth to mention of the detail, the producers managed in some of the scenes, I won't spoiled much for anyone, just be observant for heads on plastic bags and skull mask. Definitively, I will recommend this to those who can make a difference between "Transformers" and a good, "Low budget" science fiction movie!
