bad acting bad story but great gore done

OK so the animal footage is actual PETA stuff. Disturbing, yes, but true. I really don't understand why it's in there other than shock value. First time I watched this, had to turn it off after the whole baby starving thing(have babies so really disturbed me). Watched the rest the next day and was disappointed. With that stuff right at the beginning, thought the rest of the movie would be freaky. But no. Was actually quite boring. On the other hand, nothing really has really bothered me as much as that baby thing so I guess that's a good thing?...Don't know...haha
This is an abysmal film. From what is a pretty respectable premise for a plot, director Uwe Boll manages to make this an extremely boring and lacklustre yawn fest. I didnt care about any of the characters. Seed himself is a joke. With a distinct lack of any suspense and tension. Boll resorts to try and shock. Animal torture and baby killing. Rather than shock me, I just found it quite sad. I love horror/gore porn films. But this is just a joke. PLEASE AVIOD AT ALL COSTS!
Yes, it's a Uwe Boll movie. But please, give me a chance to express my 8/10 rating. Seed is one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen. The plot is terribe, I admit. Yes, there is one or two mistakes, but this a gory, fun fest horror movie. Uwe Boll has finally cracked it. He has created a stunning, low - budget horror flick, that will leave you scared and distubed. From the horrible animal torture scene at the begining, up to the most distubing 5 minute scene I have ever seen in a movie. The "head and hammer" scene. The acting is ok, nothing flash. The gore is perfect, and the scares are all there. The special effects are amazing, and the ending just so disturbing, honestly, you'll never get it out of your head!
Overall, a gore fest of a horror movie. Disturbing, scary and damn right brilliant! A must watch for any gore and horror lover for sure!
I actually really enjoyed this movie, i can never watch the opening sequence ever again, almost cried when saw the animals, but like some1 else on here said, skip the openin credits and i think it was one heck of a slasher film. a really dark, sadistic and very wrong feeling slasher film, but still one heck of a slasher flick. Take it just as that, a film all about the slashing. focus on that and its pretty fukin good.
I saw this on the shelf next to that Dimension Extreme film called 'Eden Lake,' and that one was actually cheaper than this one, but I got 'Seed' because it looked tempting with that red girl in the electric chair on the cover. Well oh boy, she was quite effective because I got the movie, but if I could time travel I'd cut off my legs to pay for the trip because this was one of the most boring things in the history of words. Whata' regret Your eyes won't believe the fun time you'll have feasting upon super glue for wood. It's so damn slow! The animal scene was just downright outrageous and unnescisary, I mean when it comes to shock factor I'm game but lord, that's real animal footage of them being skinned while barking and breathing?! Sick, I mean what for? If you want people to see your film don't put some torture stuff, make your movie good! This is a waste of viewing, I'll always regret this in the history of movie buying, and another thing, the girl in the red who is so tempting of the cover and backside..dosen't appear once. Propaganda is key I guess.
Utterly, mind bogglingly shit. It drags on so long, at times you just think "fucking get on with it". And that bit when he kills the woman with a hatchet was the worst use of CGI I've ever seen... you can even tell the hatchet has been superimposed. What was probably intended to be brutal and scary just ended up being funny and rubbish. Fuck uwe, Uwe Boll!
I want to give this movie a 1 but it won't let me go that low. Shitbuster to the max and Uwe Boll is a shitbuster director.

Go to the site above so you can end Uwe Boll's pathetic career and his embarressment of directing and a embarressment to the german people.

There is good shock value and there is the intro to this movie, its like 2 girls 1 cup in that you ACTUALLY don't want to see it.

The first two minutes or so with the dog being tortured and beaten to death were real. Boll used this to generate buzz for the movie, I think it was horrible. What little respect I had for Boll is gone. Oh, and the movie is pretty bad.
when i watch a horror movie i want to be entertained! i want to see dumb people do stupid things then get killed knowing that its all fake! that SHIT at the start wasnt fake that was real, thats NOT entertaining! thats SICK AS FUCK! why did we need to see that woman get her fucking head smashed in for 5 mins after she died? this movie sucked balls!
Skip the first 2 minutes and you have one of the goriest bloodiest movies of all time. The kill scene with the woman is the worst I have ever seen also. SEED
One of the goriest kill scenes I have ever seen period and I don't mean at the beginning with the animals. If animal cruelty bothers you then just FF for 2 minutes to see one of the goriest movies of all time. Seed does the job being a serial killer movie that rates up there with the best. You will be thinking about this movie for several days after watching. Not for the squeamish.
thought this movie was twisted in the begining, yes. alot of reviewers are saying this. but 2 minutes of that should not make this movie be bad. the begining was excessive, but i thought it was a somewhat good begining to a movie.
as for the rest of the movie: it was intense, full of gore, and brutallity by seed. this is one of my favorite killer horror movies by far.
I've seen almost every horror movie ever release I recon but never have I seen something so horrific as the opening scenes in this sick movie. It shows suffering animals, blungened to death and a dog laying on a heap in absolute pain shown in it's eyes, still alive, skun then showed other dogs being skun alive, crying so badly the attacker hit it across the face with the big knife blade and cut off it's muzzle with the hit, then stood on it's body then head while proceeding to skin the poor dog alive. Far out! I was so upset. I was disturbed more than the looters eating Mishka in Hannable Rising and that disturbed me for days. Never have I seen anything so sick and I don't ever want to again. Don't know where they got that film from, which was obviously real, but it should be illegal.
This movie fucking sucks ass. It was so stupid and I could not stand the animal stuff at the beginning, fuck that. Uwe Boll you suck in so many more ways than one.

This movie disgusted me, I watched it for about 5 minutes until it showed the baby in the cell. I turned the movie off. It got me so sick, I know it's a movie but irregardless, that is sick that someone could even think about that. That movie was disgusting. I threw it in the trash. I didn't even care that I wasted my money on it, it was sickening. And if I could, I'd rate it a 0 but I can't.

Love it or hate, Boll will have you talking.
So much has been said about this film and its director and repeated failed attempts to borrow this film from my local video store only added to my anticipation. Despite initially confusing timelines, this film soon sped up to a redhot pace with bodies stacking up thick and fast.
The controversial animal cruelty footage is intense, and perhaps unnecessary, however this also sets the mood of nihilism that pervades throughout the film until the closing sequence. The police invasion of the farmhouse was somewhat akin to T-800's police-station rampage in The Terminator, if not more horrific. Following suit was the brutal jailcell brawl prior to Seed's execution, with several memorable scenes ensuing.
Sadly the film fell to pieces after this point. Apparently Seed could easily wander back into this maximum security prison and wander out just as freely to swim back to civilisation. The graphic 'hammer scene' is dripping with CGI and little explanation is given as to where, why or who the victim might be. The finale appears to be a thinly-veiled message from Boll himself: all hope is lost, and is somewhat reminiscent of a similar feeling in 'Saw'.
Overall, this film is average owing to plot deterioration and the artificial nihilism generated by Boll.
It was actually pretty hard to get through. Not because of the violence and gore, that was the only reason I made it through. It was hard to get through because it dragged along. He just doesn't know how to tell a story. If Uwe Boll is tired of the critics bashing his movies, then make a good movie. With how many he's made you think he would've gotten lucky by now. You know, better yet just quit. Don't get me wrong there's worst movies, but he seems to get the studios to give him a pretty big budget to make his movies. For that I expect better.
I agree that this happens to be the sickest movie i have seen in years. The thing with animals and the bay crying and then decomposing...in my book that just isnt right. That is true signs of a serial killer right there. It sickened me and made me think more about PETA and stuff..this was utterly disturbing.

Hopefully you read this before you watch... This movie has actual scenes of animals being killed! To let you know where I'm coming from, I own on DVD 3 of IGN's list of the sickest movies ever made; Ichi The Killer, Murder Set-Pieces (the unrated director's cut), and # 1 on the list - August Underground's Mordum. So I'm not some sissy who can't handle intense horror. But what was the point of having actual animals being hurt and killed in the film? I do realize that the great Cannibal Holocaust had some scenes like this also - however, that film was made in the 1970's when people were a lot more ignorant and the people involved in that film now have admitted how much they regret those scenes. So I'll keep this short - Cannibal Holocaust is still a classic (even though I grudgingly admit this because of the animal killings) that has a lot of merit in the world of horror films. Seed is a almost-could-have-been-something film that has those awful scenes that really just add insult to injury.

You can add this to the list of other Boll disasters---one of his better ones..but still just awful. The script was terrible, the story was predictable, and the editing was all over the place..it's like Mr. Boll got a copy of Adobe Premiere and decided to have fun with, not really professional. I wonder if Rifftrax would like to take this film on for some witty banter.

UWE BOLL RULES!!!

I FUCKIN HATE BOLL WITH A LIVIN PASSION BUT I THINK I WILL CHECK THIS OUT...JUST TO SEE.
Alright, so when you compare this to his other movies (barring Postal, which was actually pretty awesome) this movie is very well done. He clearly is improving in his script writing, and the cinematography is general is much better on this outing. The graphic nature of this movie was what I was looking for when I got it, and it pleases for the most part. The one thing I'm confused about is the cover. Who is she? and why does she have the knife on the back of the case? They play her off as a main character, when really she's not even in the movie. At first I thought it might have been the main characters daughter (Jodelle Ferland) but I looked closer, and that is definitely not her.
I just saw it and I think it really sucked. I still can't figure out what the dying animals are all about at the beginning of the movie, and if the guy killed 666 people, why did he get his ass kicked so easy by that cop? A punch in the head and a kick to the balls?

ZombieHunter says the descent08 has no knowledge in the horror genre based on his name?! the descent was one of the better horror films in the past several years and ZombieHunter is a huge idiot and needs to stop insulting other memembers with his rambling and uneductaed nonsense. Seed is quite terrible, not as bad as thedescent08 says, but still doesn't deserve a rating of 5/10 like zombiehunter gave it.

I thought it was everything it was suppose to be an unstopable killer who leaves lots of dead bodies so therefore i was not disappointed.
I cant believe the reactions of some reviewers (thedescent08) by your name alone I know you have no knowledge about the horror genre at all.

I had the pleasure of screening this film at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin with Uwe Boll in the audience to introduce and answer questions about the movie. This movie would have been good even without the explanations, but it sure didn't hurt. All in all similar in spirit to the classic unkillable killer movies like Halloween and the later Friday the 13th movies, but Boll takes it in another direction. He has a point to all the gory depictions, but it gets a little lost along the way. All in all a great film if you're a fan of serious gore. Basically if sick and twisted is your bag, you won't be disappointed, but if you really want to be scared this movie just doesn't deliver.
