A hybrid is a piece that combines two different genres (for example, a rom-com) which could be two separate films (for example, a romance film and a comedy film). This might sound similar to a sub-genre, but the difference is that a sub-genre film cannot split its genres into two films, e.g. you could have an action-thriller and a psychological-thriller, it would be possible to have an action film and a thriller film (hybrid), but you couldn't have a psychological film and a thriller because 'psychological' is not a genre (this makes it a sub-genre)
