GL84 Supposedly surviving his execution, the body of a thought-dead serial killer returns from the grave and begins a bloodsoaked rampage against those that signaled him dead, forcing the police officer who originally caught him to stop his rampage before hurting others in his path.This one ended up being quite the enjoyable overall effort. This one really manages to generate quite an intriguing amount to enjoy here with the overt brutality and viciousness on display throughout here. Opening up with the scenes of the animal treatment footage drops a big hint as to what's going to be included here, while the scenes of the cops reviewing the series of tortured animals and people on his home videos in his collection gives this an extremely uncomfortable air that carries over into the remaining parts of the film. That is especially prominent in the actual stalking scenes starting with flashbacks to the dreams he has showing the killing spree against his family and friends having a really dark edge, the brutal kills found in the scenes of the officers checking his house during his arrest are quite shocking and brutal. The rampage at the prison yard, where he slaughters the officers attempting to remove him in order to finally be electrocuted provides some strong and brutal moments as well as setting up the actual execution attempt which is long, drawn-out and quite graphic overall which makes it a fun moment. The best aspect, though, is the series of strong ambushes delt to out the individuals associated with the incident. These range from short sequences of the killer striking out of the darkness to lengthier, more involved scenes including him torturing a victim repeatedly with a hammer or chasing them through the house which all leads into the final showdown in the woods which has a lot to really love about it. These here hold it back over it's few minor qualities. The film's main issue here is the fact that this one tends to just waste so much of it's running time in the beginning focusing on utterly unimportant areas. The endless footage of them reviewing the killer's home videos is way too long, not only for the content being shown but also the fact that they don't add much to the characters' backstory. He's already a vile, unsympathetic animal abuser and killer, so getting these extra shots in don't really mean much overall with enhancing what is already known here. It just speaks of mindless padding that does nothing for the film at all and only makes the flimsy storyline ever more obvious about not really requiring a full-length running time. That in itself is another rather big problem here in that the film doesn't really have all that much of a need to be as long as it is, as the scenes of his capture are dragged out way too much meaning that the actual execution that sets the plot in motion is done around the halfway point of the film. The last issue is the half-baked finale that just ends this on a whimper despite the emotional content and raises far more questions than answers anything throughout here which makes this quite a downbeat offering. Otherwise, there isn't much else to this one.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, children-in-jeopardy and scenes of extreme sadistic treatment of animals.

Paul Magne Haakonsen First of all, it should be said that the low rating on IMDb should be a straight up warning that you should take heed of before you sit down to watch "Seed".Personally, I have nothing against Uwe Boll or his skills as a director, but this movie was just downright bad. The storyline was as simple as it comes, and as generic as they come. A killer sentenced to death is set to be executed in the electric chair. When this fails to take the life of the serial killer, the prison warden decides to bury the man alive. However, the deranged serial killer digs himself free and seeks vengeance by killing those responsible for his execution.Well, the story was almost non-existing, and what was there was just ridiculously bad to the point of it being ridiculous. And the characters in the movie were equally devoid of anything interesting. Michael Paré played a very indifferent Detective Matt Bishop, Will Sanderson played the serial killer with no particular memorable trademark Max Seed, and Ralf Moeller played Warden Arnold Calgrove whom seemed to possess no logical sense whatsoever.The only thing even remotely worthwhile sticking around to watch in "Seed" is the amount of violence, blood and mayhem. However, don't get your hopes up, because it is nowhere near enough to salvage this movie. And also take into consideration that some of the gore and special effects were awful to look at, as it was particularly fake and so obviously CGI animated - badly animated, at that.And there were some interesting, albeit kind of disturbing, scenes of various deaths and decomposition being shown, which was graphic. And it might actually be a bit too graphic for some viewers. And the same goes for the scenes with the torture of dogs.All in all, "Seed" is not a movie that is really worth the time, money or effort. And if you like horror movies, then there are far, far better choices available for a fulfilling entertaining experience.

matt-levett All you haters, beware that this film is a bold reflection on the Directors behalf to benefit from you're generalised feelings towards his efforts.This film is truly awful deliberately...and it is spot on!!Take the title for instance. The word "Seed" means to implant and grow. This is exactly what the Director has done. The dodgy camera work; the repetitive score; the clichéd characters that are badly acted, plot holes.....its all there but it works!!I wont put in any spoilers but if you watch this masterpiece with the full intention of being entertained, nothing else, you will be delighted you did.Think Police Squad with gore. Did I mention the surreal but pertinently 5 minute scene with the woman tied to the chair??!! OOP's, sorry.8/10...a must watch.

Scarecrow-88 Uwe Boll's "Seed" seems to have only one purpose and that is to provoke its audience with constant sick behavior and despicable acts from a deranged psychopath who wears a sack over his head. If you have any moral compass, and I'm guessing some of you might just derive a thrill from this sicko's activities, then this film will have something in it that shocks you. Surviving the electric chair, the killer decides to take revenge on the law who imprisoned him (he even is buried alive, but those who knew he wasn't *completely dead* decide not to finish the job, even as no one would know except them). Yep, one of those cops, played by Michael Pare (a strong, convincing performance from an actor often stiff, but it isn't surprising he could find the emotional range considering what his character must endure) will learn the hard way how it feels to bring a killer to prison only for the depraved butcher to live despite volts coursing through his body. Prepare to see tape recordings of animals suffering and rotting with maggots, shot in "quick time" editing to see their corpses deteriorate at a rapid rate. A dog, rat, eventually a female victim—it's all so perversely unpleasant so if you get your rocks off with subject matter which dwells on a killer putting animals and people in a prison, allowing them to starve, masturbate away to your heart's content. Oh, and Boll takes his movie one step further, yep a baby. A baby for chrissakes. If you are making a statement about human cruelty, okay I get it, but we must spend 90 minutes wallowing in human misery of poor Pare, who doesn't even get a chance to exorcise the demons that torment him (to sit through tapes of a killer's handiwork would take its toll on anyone who isn't warped in the head) thanks to Boll's depressing script. Here's a killer whose rampage is off-the-scale (over 100 people the film claims he killed), forcing us to see him continue to have his way, can we not get, at the very least, some satisfaction of seeing the sick bastard get his comeuppance. Does Pare really deserve his fate-Jesus Christ. I felt the whole point is to use his film to infuriate and sicken—if so he succeeded. Ugly, grim, repulsive film. Not without its power, however, and as much as I hated this f*beep*ing film, it has moments, such as when the law enforcement raid Seed's home in the dark of night, most of them slaughtered, that I couldn't deny Boll. Boll has developed into a filmmaker who is all too willing to press any buttons, unafraid to present on screen the utmost acts of cruelty. Boll's skills at lensing through the steadicam technique aren't too bad, either. But Seed is presented as invincible, and when Pare has this opportunity to blow that scumbag's brains out and doesn't do so, the world remains a dangerous place. If he didn't already leave a bad taste in my mouth—obviously his intention—throughout the movie, the ending spewed a pungent smell that I'll have to accept. The most notorious scene is well documented by this film's fans: the hammer abuse to a bound woman as Seed unleashes a minutes-long body (mostly the face and head) beating. Boll—the man seriously needs to see a shrink—even applies an orchestral score to the hammer violence, with Seed taking his time. The movie looks like it was set in the 70s and feels reminiscent to the Zodiac-type of brutality the decade was known for with the crop of psychopaths popping up all over the country. Certain to gain a cult following because of its "pull no punches" narrative and violence.
