Goofs:

Factual errors: The press announcement for this movie claimed the story is based on true events. However, the notion that a convict who survives three jolts from the electric chair is automatically pardoned and set free is an urban legend. There is no such law.

Davis: I want you to find him, I want you to KILL him, and I want you to put him in the ground so he can never come back again.

Pour Me Out

Gloomy and brutal horror film.

"Seed" doesn't deserve all the bile and hatred on IMDb.It's arguably the best Uwe Boll's horror film so far-an unflinching exercise in barbaric human cruelty that shows that the man is the cruelest animal.The movie begins with archival footage of humans being exceptionally cruel to a variety of suffering animals which truly made me squirm.Max Seed is a brutal serial killer.He filmed many of his murders.The decomposing baby scene is quite unsettling.After killing several policemen in his dark house Seed is captured.He is quickly executed on electric chair and buried in a shallow grave.However the killer rises from its tomb ready for sickening vengeance...Very gloomy,raw and disturbing horror film with truly revolting hammer murder scene.It's an exceptionally well-acted and unrelenting assault on viewer's mind.I applaud Uwe Boll for making such savage piece of horror.Ignore the negative reviews and see it for yourself.9 out of 10.
