Seed 2

The first Seed Movie by Uwe Boll was already pretty bad but compared to this waste of resources even Seed 1 seems like pure genius. Everything about this movie looks like a student project. The opening scene introduces us to bad acting, bad writing and timing and starts the movie with a calculated provocative scene that immediately falls flat on its face.

After that you are basically treated to half an hour of boredom, incredibly bad acting from the female leads and dialog and a "plot" that is so blatantly ripped off a hundred other movies and re-invented in the most annoying way possible that I really wonder if many make it more than 20 minutes into this "movie". So you have a van full of bad acting chicks driving through the desert, picking up hitchhikers, meeting a bored police woman acting even worse than everyone else... and then they die. Sometimes it looks like they wanted to go for a "Hills have eyes" style... but after all its just shots of the desert and a guy in a mask killing chicks.

The camera work is mediocre (still the best about the movie), the sound mixing is off with several characters far too hard to understand, the choice of music is bad, the editing is uneven and forced, the storytelling and dialog are childish (must have been written on a bus ride or something) and even the only thing that could make this a little watchable looks cheap and unrealistic.... the FX. Usually German horror movies suck at almost everything but deliver some decent FX. Seed delivers absolutely NOTHING.

Avoid at any cost.

So this is the first review I will write for a movie that I watched. I have seen 'Seed 2' at a Saarbrucken Film Festival and could not believe that this movie could be worse than Uwe Bolls'Seed'. The story is very unoriginal and stole from other movies left and right. The acting is horrible amateur with Caroline Williams and Nik Principe as the only exceptions. Caroline Williams acting is great as always. Very sad that she and Nik Principe accepted to be in this movie. Christa Campbell overacted but looked hot like sex films. Nathalie Scheet did not do much or could not do much just like Annika Strauss. Manoush seemed bored or tired and did not try either.The camera work is amateurish and the all over look of the movie is cheap. They say here in IMDb that they had a budget 1,2 Million which in my opinion is a lie. Watch the movie and you will see they hardly spend more than 50000 on it. You can find the movie for free in torrents so you will not have to spend any money for it. Marcel Wals as I see here in the IMDb is a very young director. Hope for him that he learn to make movies because this one is a complete wrack. Can not recommend this.

Seed returns in "Blood Valley: Seed's Revenge", this time with new story and direction provided by Marcel Walz. Uwe Boll hangs back as producer on this sequel to the 2007 slasher horror. "Seed's Revenge" moves the nightmare into the desert of the southwest, not far from Las Vegas, where some girlfriends find themselves battling for survival against Max Seed's brutality.

"Seed's Revenge" takes on a whole different look and feel than the original film directed by Uwe Boll. This one has a modern grindhouse/torture porn thing happening that comes of more like Suicide Girls take on the Hills That Have Eyes. It just really doesn't fit the bases of what Boll created with the character and his mythos-what little there was of one. Max Seed still is just as menacing and brutal as ever, only in "Seed's Revenge" there seems to be less of a plot than in the original one.

The cast do decent enough jobs at being lambs for the slaughter, but there isn't a strong continuity in the style that Walz chose for the full story arc to make an appearance here. Choppy scenes fragmented between the present and past events are more cumbersome than dramatic and emotional. I understood the intend of showing the powerful and gritty fate of the characters, then pull us into the more human, and compassionate side, but so often, and suddenly makes it almost unnecessarily broken-the story that is. It also confuses the intended effect.

The special effects are half and half. The practical, bloody, full on graphic violence is still present in "Blood Valley: Seed's Revenge" , but the theatrical nature and religious overture of the sequences felt more ridiculous than artistic. Then there is that pesky CGI stuff that kills moments. Plus the moments that CGI was used in this film could have been done just as effectively through practical application. The soundtrack and atmosphere is acceptable, however it is over used a lot. Some scenes the music just bursts into the scene for no real reason- especially when the result is so underwhelming.

Overall "Blood Valley: Seed's Revenge" is a let down. The story is a thin, fragile spectre of the Max Seed mythos, with more torture porn attention paid than actual, purposeful story. Plus the setting and deeper development of Max Seed's character, and a few others introduced, just seems convoluted. On a positive note, the kills are gruesome, bloody and brutal. There is no remorse or concern for audience tolerance. The ending that ties into the first film is a really cool moment in the film but not enough to save this sequel. If you set out to see the film just be warned that it is less impressive than the first film-by Uwe Boll-that that as you will.

Let's get one thing straight: I only watched this film out of curiosity. I knew it was going to be bad, but I had seen the first movie by Uwe Boll a while ago and was curious to see how the sequel would turn out. Despite watching this movie with my expectations at almost zero, I still was appalled at how bad a flick this turned out to be. One of the worst movies I've EVER seen, and definitely the worst horror movie I've seen.

The first film's director, Uwe Boll, is notorious for his poor films, which are said by numerous critics to suffer from serious flows in script, directing, acting, etc. This film, although directed by another director named Marcel Walz, does nothing but also fall into this category of Z-movies.

Let's get down to what is actually wrong with the movie: a poorly written script filled with lazy and silly dialogue, effortless directing, wooden acting, infuriatingly amateur cinematography, cheesy and laughable special effects, and, perhaps worst of all, a story that makes little to no sense.

The film attempts a Pulp Fiction-like story structure in which the events of the film are not in chronological order, and therefore leaving it up to the viewer to figure which scene happened when. While this works in Pulp Fiction, it just makes this film confusing and wondering what the heck is going on.

In addition to these flaws, the film is not scary whatsoever, despite a few gross-out gore scenes that attempt to scare, but fail. The only remotely entertaining part of this film is the unintentional laughs that occur occasionally, but these goofs aren't enough to compensate for 90 minutes of boredom and eagerness for an ending.

And let's not forget how little relevance this sequel has in relation to the first movie, showing almost no relation, and even lacking some of the very few decent qualities of the first one, too.

DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM. A sheer waste of time.

Seed is back, who'd have thunk it? Everybody? Yes OK, so they always come back and I am guessing you have watched the first one. Though even if you haven't, it's not really necessary (yes there is a connection, one you might guess anyway, but let's leave it at that). The movie tries to be clever, with its time-line jumping, but it's not working at all. Quite the opposite is the case.

Also having a disturbing scene twice (at the beginning and later in the movie) played out almost entirely, is not clever, but trying to make a movie longer than it actually is. Something that is really weak and shows that there was very little to start with. The main idea was not that good anyway. And the one naked blood covered female should not change your opinion on this movie ... unless it makes even worse that is, but that's not really possible. And while the first Boll directed (this is not his movie folks!) had more than a couple of issues, it tried to say something. This on the other hand ....
