Seed 2

Went to a horror convention and bought t'his flick while the main villain was sitting there, Nick Principe. A really nice guy who was afraid to be caught taking a selfie with me, because you had to pay for pictures with the stars. Have seen a few flicks with him this was one that I really can't say that it was any good.

Strange to see Uwe Boll being used to promote this flick due the fact that many geeks find his flicks utter trash. And this wasn't any good at all. I give you one example. When victims are stabbed by a machete there's really no blood coming out of the wounds. And don't let me go deep into the acting if you could talk of any. Campbell is the one who tear this flick down to ground level. I just don't get it why people are still casting her.

Seed 2 is slow and doesn't have a good story. Nick does his best by not saying anything at all maybe he did know what was going on. Uwe Boll addicts will love this but many will be left with a huh feeling...

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 ....

I never write reviews but I had to on this one because I am actually a fan of uwe boll's work he has gotten better over the years and can make a half decent movie thesedays, but why did he let his production company or him himself let them make this incoherent garbage it was thrown up all over the place going back and forth for no reason whatsoever the special effects were just lame and the story made no sense whatsoever. At least the first one had a story and was a brutal movie which made you squeamish in the stomach. Avoid this at all costs. Also whoever wrote the positive review of this movie has to of had some part of this movie as no one in their right mind would find anything positive in this movie.

Granted, I haven't seen the first "Seed" movie, so I have no clue whether or not this sequel lives up to the first movie. But given the low ratings both part 1 and 2 have scored on IMDb, then I guess the first movie was just as bad as this sequel was.

The storyline was completely pointless, if not utter rubbish. A group of girls are on a roadtrip, when they have to pass through the desert. Coming across a police woman on foot in the middle of the desert, the girls stop and decide to give her a helping hand. But something is very wrong this far out in the desert.

Right... Well, the storyline was fairly straight forward, but towards the end it took a rather unforeseen turn for the worse and it just went downhill so fast. Prior to that, then the movie did bear some resemblance to movies such as "The Hill Have Eyes".

"Seed 2: The New Breed" doesn't really bring anything innovative to the genre. In fact, this is the type of movie that you just shut down your brain while watching, because it requires nothing from the audience.

The acting in the movie was good and the camera work was good, and that the the high points of the movie, the rest was just a waste of time.

The sound effects were so off the chart that is was just annoying. Someone got shot in the head, and there was a long series of slurp-like sounds. It just didn't make any sense whatsoever.

"Seed 2: The New Breed" tries to be brutal, but it fails in doing so. There is nothing original or innovating about the entire movie. And it becomes a struggle to sit through the entire movie to the very end.

I can't really recommend "Seed 2: The New Breed" to anyone, because it was a waste of time. And now having suffered through it, I can honestly say that I am not even going to bother with part one.

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.
