It's almost a mission of mine to seek the worst film in the world, maybe to find one worse than the absolutely disgusting and so far not beaten Freddy Got Fingered, obviously this TV movie didn't beat it, but it certainly a bad one. Basically Dr. Andrea Hewlitt (Justine Bateman) and other scientists in a facility have been looking into ways to increase the potential of animals, and they have found a way to better the vision of some primates when they have gone blind with the eyes of wolves. They are hoping to really prove the experiment works by finding a human to have the same procedure, and after he is blinded in an explosion, security dispatcher Aaron Scates (Cory Monteith) is the perfect candidate. So he is brought in to bring his vision back with this extraordinary-though controversial-medical breakthrough with the help of a wolf who happens to be brought in as well, despite concern by museum curator Lydia Armstrong (Tinsel Korey). So when he wakes, Aaron is pleased to have his vision back through these new yellow wolf eyes, but he also has the advantage of seeing in the dark. Soon enough though more developments come when he gains a high sense of hearing, he has horrible visions of wolves in the woods attacking and other things, and then he starts growling, and targeting people as if they were prey. But worse comes when his personality is diminishing all together, to the point when he has become a full agitated wolf-human hybrid with a taste for raw meat, and tearing into it. Lydia however understands how this has happened, being a human-hybrid herself, but she has channelled any animal like instincts via her shaman friend Claude Robertson (Pocahontas' Gordon Tootoosis). Despite an animal bond and mating like thing between Lydia and Aaron, and some rite-of-passage stuff with Claude, Aaron can't help his animalistic side coming out very aggressively, and Dr. Hewitt's colleagues are determined to hunt him down like the creature has has become. Also starring Brandon Jay McLaren as Ashmore, Aaron Hughes as Wilcox and Brett Sorensen as Deaver. I can see the connection the critics say there is to a B-movie theme, I found it similar to the theme in the Japanese film The Eye, but with the new additions to the body changing you into something else. However, this film completely fails to scare you, the dialogue is awful, the acting is dreadful, the action - if that's what you can call it - is pretty boring, I would have be out of my head to watch this abysmal science-fiction horror again, which I never will do. Poor!
