New Horror Movie Features Humanity Hating Car - "Hybrid"
There's a new candidate for must-see, environmentally relevant, B-movie of the year, and it features a homicidal, shape-shifting car that runs on emissions-free supernatural power. Judging by the trailer, the killer car featured in Hybrid is not a man-eating Prius, but a sort of haunted, organic, muscle car that breathes. Does this hybrid demon-car symbolize fate paying us back for carbon emissions, killing the environment, the collapsing US auto industry, or does it just symbolize that haunted cars are totally awesome?
Calling Hybrid an "eco-horror" movie might be a bit of a stretch -- we'll have to wait and see -- but its name alone suggests that a pretty heavy anti-car subtext might be at might be woven rather unskillfully through this B-movie plot. Check out the synopsis:
"Late one night, a mysterious car is brought into the Chicago police impound garage after a deadly traffic accident. The garage's female mechanic, Tilda, and her young, hip fellow mechanics soon discover the car has a mind of its own: it morphs into different cars to confuse them and instead of needing an engine to run, it breathes. It's a killing machine that is capable of outrunning and outwitting humans."[via Ecorazzi]
