Yes, this movie was rough. IT was fun, but rough. I enjoyed the Cosmic horror aspect. I thought the little monster having sex with the girls was odd. In the old days that was an excuse to show some naked chicks, but that didn't happen either. LOL. OVERALL: Fun. Not Oscar worthy, but entertaining.

It tries to be different, going for an absurdist tone. The trouble is, the script contains zero jokes or physical comedy. The poor actresses are left to recite mundane dialogue in a 'quirky' way, which leads to scene after scene of unamusing waffle. The characters are thinly drawn and nobody is taking it seriously enough to warrant investment. The acting is otherwise ok, as is the editing and general production design. The less said about the soundtrack the better. It's a very tame movie. The effects are poor. The occassional body horror is nowhere near as brave as films like Society or Reanimator which precede it by decades. It has no tension to speak of, so it doesn't deserve a horror label. There's no exploration of ideas, so it's not a sci-fi either. It attempts to bring eroticism into the main plot which could have been great, but the film is too scared to embrace titilation, exploitation and nudity. It also shies away from allegory, symbolism, commentary, character development... you know, all the stuff that makes good schlock tick. Ultimately, it's boring.

Nothing happens for nearly an hour except watching semi-clad ladies walk around (not that I minded that), but the story is just recycled from many a cheap horror science fiction; it does get gory in the last 10 minutes or so, no CGI, that I noticed the effects looked practical, so kudos there. I liked the three leads, but nothing we have not seen done better before.

I looked at the 5 star reviews on shudder and thought this might be worth a watch. It was ok at best and nothing to get excited by. For a low budget movie it's ambitious but ultimately a bit slow paced. I really wanted to like it and maybe went in with unrealistic expectations because of the stellar reviews. Not so bad you'd turn it off but not good enough to be remembered.

This is not a good movie. Plot is essentially "Mars Needs Women". Yet it is oddly acceptable in a 2am viewing kind of way. It's not a good film but I liked it? Yes, it's not a good film but I liked it.

I watched this movie only based on the title and cover, without even reading the synopsis. It was quite an effective movie. I believe it wanted to be a throwback to og horror movies in an humorous way and to some extent it worked. Barebone but sufficient plot and exposition, the practical effects definitely stand out, the cast is quite alright as well. The Photography is enjoyable on the saturated side. Maybe it could have been more but I don't think it was the point. Alien demonic creatures oozing petroleum seems to be a trend also 🤔 I'd give it a 6.2 but a 7 will do since it got trashed good time.

The Seed is an abysmal downer of a movie, with a plot that's so vapid, and characters who're utterly despicable. It's repetitive, boring, and substantially dull to the core. It doesn't even act as dumb fun. It's not fun, because it's unnervingly stretched out to the point that I had to skip forward through several scenes. The conversations between the girls have no point, the girls are highly dumb, and the mystery itself is a ticket to snooze-world. The alien has a face which could probably be the most laughable thing I've ever seen. And that's the only funny part of this. The moment I stopped taking that creature seriously, impatience steeped in, and add on top of that the shallow characters who're annoying as hell. So, I didn't care. Now, I don't have all bad things to say. It's technically competent. The acting by the three leads was good, it's pretty gory, and there's a particular sequence, with girls and alien, more than halfway into the film which was pretty cool, and trippy. I give it 4 stars; 1 for the acting, 1 for the gore, and 2 for the mind trip sequence. I'd probably have forgiven this, and would've maybe given 2 more stars, if our leading ladies' boobies got more screentime.

The Seed (2021) is a movie I recently watched on Shudder. The storyline for this picture surrounds a group of friends who get an AirBnB in the middle of the desert for drinking, fun and sun. When they find a creature that looks like an armadillo on the property their weekend gets flipped upside down. This movie is directed by Sam Walker in his directorial debut and stars Lucy Martin (Vikings), Chelsea Edge (Suspicion) and Sophie Vavasseur (Resident Evil: Apocalypse). The storyline for this is actually fairly unique and clever. This is a very unique alien film; unfortunately, the female characters are annoying as is their reaction to things. I will say the workout scene and the sequance the armadillo moves had me cracking up. There's also some unique ways of eating eggs in this. I will say I liked the transformation elements as the aliens motives become apparent and the ending is actually pretty good. Maybe I'm the outlier but I didn't hate this as much as so many did. This is a unique addition to the genre that's worth a viewing. It isn't a masterpiece but I would score this a 6/10 and recommend seeing it once.

Oh, what those poor actresses went through for this uber-gross sci-fi budge-flick! Practical effects and make up were very cool. Sure the 'creature' was a cross btwn Grogu from Mandalorian and C. H. U. D. but since I've never actually seen an alien in real life, I went with it! The humor was very 'Mean Girls' and I laughed out loud more than a few times. A bit artsy too with how they conveyed the alien control over the girls but I felt it worked. Was looking for a bit of mindless distraction and found it. Well done!

In the 1960s a particular genre of low-budget indie was developed based on the quaint and perhaps old-fashioned notion that if you base a film on 3 or 4 pretty girls basically doing nothing -- like laundry or cooking -- a market for the film will somehow appear. To a large extent this is the current and most recent exponent of that "lost fork" in film history and therefore worth a look. For the first hour all you get is three pretty ladies (including Lucy Martin who stole all her scenes in VIKINGS) doing basically nothing. You will either like that ... or you won't. The last 30 mins is some sort of sci-fi nonsense that even a clever fifth grader could not explain, so just ignore it. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
