mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Adam Foidart "Seed" is utter, irredeemable, tasteless trash that wants to have a message about human nature and cruelty but means absolutely nothing. The film begins with a bold warning message. Take it seriously because once you plunge in, not only are you treated to real-life footage of animals being skinned alive, but you will also have to endure violence so brutal it will make your stomach churn.The story revolves around Max Seed (Will Sanderson) very prolific serial killer. Detective Matt Bishop (Michael Paré) and a bumbling crew of police officers finally capture Seed. Sentenced to death, the murderer is sent to the electric chair. Unfortunately, he is so evil he manages to survive the chair. Not wanting this scumbag loose again, the prison staff decides to bury Seed alive. Seed not only manages to crawl out of his grave and begin his reign of terror once again.This is an angry movie. People are brutally killed left and right, as if the director was an irritated teenager doodling in his binder. We're not talking the kind of fun goofy kills that you can find in such horror "classics" as say, "Friday the 13th part 3: in 3-D", we're talking about a bound woman crying while she gets beaten to death for 5 minutes straight. Listening to the commentary, director Uwe Boll claims he is trying to send a message about how humans are not born good and are capable of terrible things. If that's the case, Seed should have grown up in a perfectly normal home and snapped one day. Instead, we are told that he was severely disfigured as a child, to the point where he always wears a burlap sack over his head. Clearly the problem here is that poor Seed suffered some childhood trauma, not that he was born evil.As for the "regular people", the guards responsible for Seed's imprisonment act inappropriately by burying the killer alive, but their mistake isn't breaking the law, it's being stupid. A guy who manages to kill 666 people doesn't deserve to be buried alive when a standard execution doesn't work out. By not putting a bullet in the man's head, these guys are even more despicable than the killer because of their utter idiocy. Seriously, what we have here is a butcher so prolific he averaged a murder every 3 days. Doesn't standard police procedure for that kind of bust involve bringing a tank or arming every officer with a flame thrower?I took offense to the idea that the film was violent in an artistic way because it dwells so much on the bloodshed. You don't make a movie about the brutality of human beings by lingering on the violence and throwing dead bodies at the screen in a way that will appeal to horror fans. It would be like making an anti-war movie where the good guys mow down legions of devil-worshiping, tax-evading racists who are killing the whales, chopping down the rain forest only to close the film by showing that a small, handicapped child with cancer was caught in the crossfire.Setting aside the film's lack of direction, it simply isn't that entertaining to watch. The main characters are so stupid you don't really care for them and the villain is so evil you can't cheer for him either. It all begins with Seed practically masturbating to footage of dogs being skinned alive and baby seals being clubbed so right away you just hate this guy. The old "666" cliché is so tired that you're just grasping at anything from this killer to make him somewhat memorable or charismatic in the way you're used to seeing in films like "Nightmare on Elm Street", "Child's Play" or even the "Saw" and "Collector" series. Unfortunately the guy never utters a word so he has no personality and there's not even a dark humor element to him either. I personally really thought Boll missed the mark on the whole serial killer thing. Have Seed working up to his six-hundredth and sixty sixth kill. If you just have him killing people all of the time, it's just a bizarre coincidence that they managed to capture him right when he offed his 666th victim.Aside from the mistakes in the character development, the movie falls into the same trappings as every bad slasher movie. No one ever call for backup when they should, the killer roams unnoticed or teleports under beds just so we can have a jump scare and nameless characters are thrown in just so they can be butchered and add to the body count. The whole experience is draining. From the very beginning and with the ending being what it is (I won't reveal it, no spoilers allowed here) it just leaves you wondering what the point of it all was.I suppose that praise could be given in the sense that technically, Director Uwe Boll is improving as a filmmaker.The special effects are good and it is genuinely disturbing. The camera work is fine, particularly the long shots and even the sequences where we get the shaky camera too. I guess the movie is memorable too; I can't remember the last time I was cheering for a person to be sexually assaulted inside of a prison. Really though, there's nothing artistic or entertaining here. There's no joy of filmmaking, no compelling story lines or characters to cheer for. It starts off on a revolting note (Seriously, showing animal cruelty as entertainment? Shame on you PETA) and it descends lower and lower into a depressing endeavor. This low-budget horror does show promise but he really needs someone to rein him in. This is coming from the guy that actually liked "BloodRayne", so you know I wanted to have a good time too. I can't recommend "Seed" to anyone and it saddens me to think that people would find this entertaining. (Unrated Cut on DVD, November 9, 2013)

kosmasp If you take what Boll meant to say, you would have something that I would kind of liked. Well liked is maybe the wrong word, but something I could respect. And this is not Boll bashing (watch Tunnel Rats or Darfur is supposed to be good to), it's just that this movie does look what the budget was like. Lighting, set-up, everything looks sort of cheap. But then you do have some moments of genius thrown in there, in the make-up, special effects department at least. There is a scene with prison bars, that will make you cringe.But all that does not help. The real animal torture scenes, that start the movie off and are there to get you "in the mood", are more than disturbing, which is their purpose. Not sure it works in favor of the movie though either. Yes humans can be cruel, it's not something that is a big revelation. The end might suggest something, though with a sequel that followed that might have been not what Boll intended it to be

d_sijpheer what a waste of time! i do like horrors but this one is just no good. only thing thats OK is the suspense sounds and music...special effects and sounds when body parts brake is OK. The movie is also way to dark, and it's the wrong sort of violence! there is no story telling! even a 2.8 is to much for this! PLEASE, do not make any more of these! Hopefully the votes are enough to keep people from making this! Was there any type casting involved btw? Hope not..If u need some pointers, just let me know.. Or watch some European movies first. Like 'rec'for instance..thanks for trying

snakes3992 The reason why I give this movie a 8/10, is because it made perfect sense, it looks like any kind of slasher movie I've seen, when I first watched it, it seemed pretty disturbing and scary, this movie has a good script, good acting, good storyline, and good ending, I heard a lot of people said this movie will make you throw up, but I didn't, and I know, because I'm use too these kind of films. Uwe Boll is a good director, his films are pretty good, In the Name of the King, House of the dead, Alone in the dark, and Seed, and they were excellent to watch, In the Name of the King: 8/10, House of the Dead: 8/10, and Seed: 8/10, and I also found out what Seed (The Killer's Name) want, he wanted revenge of killing of people that try to kill him. Uwe Boll knows how to make an excellent horror movie, and he knows how to pick some good actors, and actresses in his films.
