The synopsis for this movie on Google doesn't really do it justice as there was actually a bit more under the hood (pun intended) in this film than just a car goes around murdering people. I mean.. that is what happens but it goes about it in a very unpredictable way and nothing really turned out as I expected.
To be fair, I was probably expecting a lesser quality, Christine, another film about a murderous car and although there are some minor similarities, Super Hybrid, is ultimately very much its own thing which is a positive. As I mentioned before, I couldn't predict what was going to happen and the pacing was quite good I felt as I didn't get bored watching it - they maintained the intrigue for the whole runtime. There were references to other movies, some funny dialogue, decent car carnage, decent suspense and the general idea behind the murderous car was very interesting and different but it definitely had its short comings to... bad CGI, boring characters, average acting, slow car chases and ultimately a bland setting. The 3D is also not well utilized, there's maybe a couple scenes of pop out effects and the top down view over the city at the start had decent depth but once it goes into the garage setting, which is dark naturally anyway and not that well suited to 3D glasses, the 3D effects goe bye-bye. You won't miss much watching it in 2D.
Final Verdict: I've seen far worse b-grade horror films and this movie is smarter than what it looks like on the surface but its still very average all round. Remove it from the garage setting and put it out onto the open streets like where the movie started and I think it would of been that much more entertaining film.
