Seed 2: A Nova Geração

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.

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 ....

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.

Normally a sequel to an Uwe Boll movie that isn't directed by Uwe Boll can be counted on to be at least a slight improvement on the original film--but Seed 2: The New Breed is the exception. This movie is so dreadful it actually makes Boll look good, sort of.

Fans of the original Seed, if there are any, will likely be disappointed that this seems to have virtually nothing to do with the original film. Actually, it feels more like an unofficial Hills Have Eyes sequel than a follow up to Seed.

Seed 2: The New Breed appears to have been shot on digital video, really badly. Most of the film looks ugly and over-bright. The acting and dialog are beyond bad. The movie is clearly meant to be transgressive and disturbing (the opening scene involves a gun barrel being shoved between a squealing young woman's thighs) but the movie is simply too incompetent to make an impact beyond inspiring a strong desire to turn it off.
