Watch Seed For Free

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Max Seed, a mass murderer, is scheduled for execution at the hands of Warden Wright.After three attempts to electrocute, complete with boiling blood that steeps from his eyes, he's still alive.The executioner, Wright & the doctor collectively agree, that the breathing Seed be pronounced dead.He is bound and buried alive.After biting & clawing his way to the surface, the enraged madman, is now bent on vengeance.....So one of the reviewers on here stated that this breaks the boundaries on gore and physical violence. It truly does not. It's one of the most offencive pieces of poison that I have ever witnessed.I'm not a Boll hater, some of his movies are quite enjoyable in a guilty way, but since all the hate has emerged for this man, he has tried to be controversial as this is the only way he can get recognition now is to rile his critics.The actual story is quite good, it had potential, but then for no reason at all, we see animal torture, and eventually, an extended baby death sequence, which just offends in so many ways.When the gore stops, the movie seems to stop too, we just have extended scenes of Pare looking a little concerned and wondering when the next death will happen.This could have been some standard supernatural slasher, but Boll goes for the 'look at this' and fails on every single level.And then there is the putrid, vile ending, with no remorse, and not a drop of consideration for the viewer.Leave the film alone, don't be suckered into thinking that this could be anything other than poison to the senses.Awful in every sense of the word.

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.

I watched this film 5 months ago and man I wish I had my hours back. I will never watch this again. I mean sure it's not the worse horror film ever made but it is certainly bad. I think it's disgusting.OK I mentioned it wasn't the worse horror film but the thing that annoyed me the most is that the director loves animals and he decided to throw real animal killing scenes in the film just to rely on shock value and content. It's disgusting and to be honest it never shocked me at all. It just annoyed me and it turned me off straight away.A minor problem is that the Seed Killer is cool. He has got some sick and very disturbing motive to kill people, but in a way I feel the director was trying to create him as a Michael Myers rip-off instead of producing his own type of character. At the beginning it felt like Seed was Seed but when he escapes and all that (oddly surviving the electric chair) it just feels Seed is Michael Myers. It just doesn't work. One thing Uwe Boll did well at was that he never revealed the killer's true face away and just showed him a (friday the 13th part 2ish) looking sack and then an execution mask thingy. That was done well.Baby cruelty is disgusting, why would the director throw a scene like this in? Having that seen, that scene also turned me off from the film greatly. I even found myself saying after this scene, is this a slasher or a torture gore?The kills could have been amazing if it wasn't smothered with all the CGI. There is far too much CGI and the blood and gore is so pointless. None of it looks affective at all.As for the plot well the plot and story could have been good if it wasn't for the problems (major ones) above.The only thing this film promises throughout is it's music score. The music score is terrific but to hell with everything.A very uncomfortable horror film and for those who like sick, deranged films where people are starved to death, etc, this is the film for you. I don't like it. 4.9/10

If there is one thing I cannot take, it is anyone who gives an opinion, review, etc. of something that involves "insulting" those of a different opinion. Take Author: zarakian_58 from United Kingdom's Review: "badly directed garbage. a mediocre nihilist sadistic gorefest ... if you are the sort of person who likes that ... see a shrink". So, I LOVED this movie, hence perhaps I should skip the shrink and move into the asylum. Stay off the review pages unless you can review objectively AND subjectively without insulting those of a different ilk.Back to the movie. While this is a horror movie, without a doubt, it is also a crime thriller involving the search for the serial killer, "Seed", the search led by the detective Matt Bishop played by the under-rated Michael Pare'. He is caught early in the movie, but after surviving two attempts in the electric chair, he is buried alive to avoid a third attempt that if survived would give him his freedom. He escapes the grave, begins a new killing rampage, exacts revenge on the prison employees who oversaw his "death" and burial, and the investigation for the "copycat killer" begins.This film is brutal, but Seed himself is no worse than a Jeffrey Dahmer, who ate his victims. Seed tortures and kills his victims over and over. These scenes are some of the goriest and most shocking I have ever seen.This is everything a horror film should be: Horrifying, shocking, scary, terrible antagonist, sympathetic protagonist, and with great special effects thrown in. Solid acting and plot for a low budget effort (Don't forget-classics like Halloween and Night of the Living Dead were also extremely low budget). Eight Stars-One of the best torture horror films I have seen in a while.Back to Michael Pare': I have always thought that Michael Pare' has never gotten the respect he deserved. Watch "Eddie and the Cruisers", "The Philadelphia Experiment" or even "Streets of Fire" (Not a good film, but great performances by a young Willem Dafoe and Diane Lane). While earlier in his career, he shows emotion, drama ability, can handle action scenes, and just has overall screen presence. Somehow he has gotten stuck in smaller supporting roles and in B movies. Another example of his B movie prowess, Pare is excellent as the detective hunting for the serial killer in this film.One last note: I recommend skipping the first few minutes of this film which show real footage of animal torture taken from PETA. While this footage helps the Director, Boll, to get his point on "human nature" across along with the rest of the film, I find it unbearable to watch.
