Uwe Boll (“BloodRayne”) directs “Seed”, a slasher movie that is lazy, vile, repulsive, ugly, unimaginative and without any merit. Boll likes to direct meaninglessly violent films and this is about as awful as you could get. The movie also features real footage of animals being tortured. Apparently, it’s to highlight the issue of animal abuse but it feels more like a poor excuse to show more sick imagery.

Depraved serial killer Max Seed (Will Sanderson) likes to kill men, women and children. For his terrible crime, he is put in the electric chair but when it fails to kill him, he’s buried alive. He escapes and now he’s out for revenge. He’ll not only kill the men that put him in the ground but their families too. Can this monster be stopped?

Seed is one of the least interesting slasher villains of all-time. He watches videos of animals getting tortured, he bashes people’s faces in and he even starves a baby to death. It’s just another cheap Jason Voorhees rip-off. I’m tired of seeing killers that are just a big guy in a mask. Where’s the next Norman Bates or Hannibal Lecter? The other characters are no better. You won’t care about anybody as you see them brutally tortured and killed.

“Seed” is about as sick as you can get. We have an unbearably dull sequence in here where Seed repeatedly hits a woman in the face until her head is on the verge of coming off. The special effects are never convincing and we don’t care about the characters so it’s just extreme violence for the sake of it. Who exactly is the audience for this type of movie? What entertainment value is there in seeing a fictional baby starved to death after seeing real footage of animals being sliced. Boll desperately seems to want to attract attention by always trying to cross a line. I wish he spent more time thinking about making a film enjoyable than trying to push the boundaries of taste.
