1 star of the highest order to “The Seed”

(Now streaming on Shudder)
Written and Directed by Sam Walker, NR, Released 2022
Horror, Sci-Fi, Comedy

Martin Scorsese once said: “I’ve seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.”

I think he must’ve had The Seed in mine when he said that.

Because this…. this is the obvious category sweep contender for next year’s Oscars. An Oscar each for best actress (that egg scene tho) and best supporting actress (the living room scene tho) and best cinematography (that hazy gaze tho) best SFX (that naked Guinea pig tho) and best screenplay (this plot tho.) I would expect nothing less from a movie entitled The Seed with such a compelling movie poster design.

TW: sexual themes, body horror, gross creatures, rape and sexual assault, disturbing imagery, flashing lights and imagery, hallucinations, jump scares, car accidents, pregnancy, pregnant women in peril, violence towards women, brutal bloody murders, dead bodies, phallic symbolism everywhere, graphic on screen death, extreme blood and gore
