Editorial Review:
This story of a supernatural serial killer is reminiscent of Stephen King s finest horror films. Prison guards fail to exorcise the evil in a murderer and inadvertently unleash a malevolent monster. The resulting reign of violence, with its extreme gore and torture, set a new standard for the horror genre.
Seed Reviews:
WARNING! THIS FILM IS EXTREMELY DISTURBING AND GRAPHIC !!! DO NOT WATCH!!! 
2009-10-08 - PLEASE READ THIS! I collect horror movies. It is my hobby. I have seen 279 horror films in the last years. I have seen everything and can sit through anything. I am never phased by anything. As a hard-core horror fan I write the following review. The movie Seed left me shocked, disturbed, nauseous, terrified, screaming and crying hysterically, in a state of pain and panic beyond anything I have ever experienced before. THIS FILM IS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING!!! The first 5 minutes of the film show REAL FOOTAGE OF ANIMAL TORTURE that was provided for the film by PETA. A man violently bashes a live raccoon on the ground and throws the limp, shivering body on the floor and violently kicks it over to a few other raccoons that have had the same fate. There is long graphic footage of a dog that has been completely skinned. The dog is bloody and gory in in horrible, visible pain. The dog is crying as his captors kick and hit his exposed body while he simply and visibly struggles to breath. There is a shot of a live mink having it's fur removed. After the fur has been ripped off it's body it's head is smashed on the ground. ALL THIS FOOTAGE IS REAL AND DISTURBING!!! That is just the first 5 minutes of the film. The film has many gory, graphic deaths including the murders of two babies. One baby is taken away from it's mother on a bus and its skull is bashed in against a pole. The other is shown starving to death. A reel time film shows the baby, locked in a basement, as it slowly starves to death with no food or water, and is crying painfully the entire time. Later in the film a woman is tied to a chair and her head is smashed in with a hammer. This sequence shows everything and lasts over 8 minutes. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AN DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! IT IS SICK AND DEMENTED AND IS NOT ENTERTAINING IN ANY WAY. I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO BE ABLE TO UNWATCH THIS MOVIE SO AS TO REMOVE ALL THESE HORRIBLE IMAGES FROM MY MIND. It isn't worth it.
Uwe Boll
2009-08-04 - Ralph Moeller is excellent (as he always is) as the warden. Michael Pare adds credibility to the cast. Moeller plays a less invincible role than usual. Seed (Will Sanderson) easily defeats his victims.
In short, this movie is predictable. The actors (including Michael Par's daughter) are great. The script is subpar.
This is a one star movie because it contains PETA footage of extreme animal cruelty that is not congruent with the story line.
what the hell is this 
2009-07-20 - i can not believe that this is not banned. i watched and own plenty of horror movies but in this film what you see is what you get. a lot of real brutal scenes that they used in this movie. yes the movie has a plot. but it is a bloody nasty film.at the beginning they slam real dogs to the ground. and they step on them . blood blood blood.real animal torture are in this movie.
Visually stunning but huge plot holes 
2009-05-22 - Let me start be saying that I am neither a fan or hator of Uwe Boll's work, I take each film as it comes and judge it on its own merits. First off, the film is wonderful to watch and looks like it has a much higher budget than it does. If there is anything postive to consistently say about Uwe Boll, he knows how to get a good shot. That being said, the narrative out and out sucks. While Seed is a contender to be one of the most viscious serial killers ever committed to film, his ability to be able to get to places without being seen or heard is completely ridiculous, which is especially apparent during the prison massacre. Also, Michael Pare's character is particularly stupid. Why go to a remote part of the woods in the middles of the night where there is no electricity or light to catch a brutal killer. And then, to return there later, by YOURSELF, when there is much more at stake, is even more laughable. Only Mr. Boll to blame here for this horrible script. This could have been a really great film had it made more sense. It is worth a watch for the graphic gore and high procuction values, but if a story that is completely coherent is your cup of tea, you might want to stay away from this one. I honestly hope this film gets remade 20 years down the line with an awesome rewrite, until then, Mr. Boll, please take some creative writing classes as you can't do much worse.
A savage effort from Uwe Boll! 
2009-04-02 -
A maniacal monster of a killer named Seed (Will Sanderson) who has conducted brutal murders and sick torture to innocent people and animals alike over the last 6 years with the most incredible record of mass murders ever is set to be executed. But after his execution and was buried, he is still alive as a supernatural maniac that still kills and even tortures his victims for Detective Matt Bishop (Michael Pare) is on the verge of destroying this sick and twisted killing machine.
A Nihlistic and gruesome horror thriller from the much hated director Uwe Boll is probably his best effort around. It's not based on a game much like his terrible "House of the Dead" or "Alone in The Dark" but he wrote produced and directed an original film of his own with inspiration of the recent glut of Torture Porn movies from "Hostel" and even some 70's grindhouse cinema movies. The opening sequence is very disgusting with footage of live animals being slaughtered for it's PETA footage that Boll borrowed as he wanted to make this a movie that plays as a statement on humanity and cruelty. There is horrific sequences of cruelty and torture such as a suffering baby being decompossed and a woman being tortured with an axe, it's definitely not for the faint hearted but a nice yet better film from Uwe Boll as he made one hell of a cruel movie.
This DVD has the unrated director's cut and of course some fair extras like audio commentary, a funny yet grueling short film about a filmmaker who tortures his critics, featurette, trailer and deleted scenes.
