Following a street collision, an enigmatic vehicle arrives at a Chicago impound lot, immediately plunging the overnight staff into a startling and perilous scenario. “Super Hybrid” (2010) combines elements of “Killdozer” and “Christine,” introducing its own original idea set within the environment of a large city’s impound garage. It surpasses “Killdozer” in quality, though it doesn't quite reach the level of “Christine.” Shannon Beckner delivers a solid performance as the central character, Tilda, and Melanie Papalia deserves recognition for her portrayal of Maria. The initial portion of the film is engaging, reminiscent of something like “The Hidden,” but I found myself becoming less invested as it progressed toward the end. Certain developments felt foreseeable, and while I don’t object to the familiar narrative device of an unexpected female character stepping up, portraying the former military man in such a negative way wasn't really needed (Oded Fehr). Simply because someone is in charge and instructs their team to complete tasks doesn’t automatically make them completely villainous. The shift to depicting him as a clumsy fool felt unconvincing. The concluding scene is disappointing, similar to “Abominable” and the upcoming “Dark Was the Night.” Nevertheless, if you're willing to overlook its shortcomings, "Super Hybrid" offers an exciting experience, even though it’s somewhat simplistic, for those seeking something comparable to “Killdozer” or “Christine.” The film has a running time of 1 hour, 34 minutes and was filmed in Regina, Saskatchewan. GRADE: B-/C+
