The Seed

It's ok, funny (not hilarious), creepy (not bone shatteringly scary) and weird (silly).

It's a take on modern life/tech meets 80's creature feature for some vain girls.

This is not a good movie. Plot is essentially "Mars Needs Women". Yet it is oddly acceptable in a 2am viewing kind of way. It's not a good film but I liked it?

Yes, it's not a good film but I liked it.

I loved the gooey stuff, the creature, practical effects and scenes with trippy imagery. Yay to all of that.

Didn't like how annoying the characters were. I think that will put a lot of people off and they may not even make it to the goo. This could've been quite disturbing with a set of likeable characters. But I guess it was all intentional.

Props to the director for making a movie. It's hard. I'll watch his next film.

I looked at the 5 star reviews on shudder and thought this might be worth a watch. It was ok at best and nothing to get excited by.

For a low budget movie it's ambitious but ultimately a bit slow paced.

I really wanted to like it and maybe went in with unrealistic expectations because of the stellar reviews.

Not so bad you'd turn it off but not good enough to be remembered.

In the 1960s a particular genre of low-budget indie was developed based on the quaint and perhaps old-fashioned notion that if you base a film on 3 or 4 pretty girls basically doing nothing -- like laundry or cooking -- a market for the film will somehow appear. To a large extent this is the current and most recent exponent of that "lost fork" in film history and therefore worth a look. For the first hour all you get is three pretty ladies (including Lucy Martin who stole all her scenes in VIKINGS) doing basically nothing. You will either like that ... or you won't. The last 30 mins is some sort of sci-fi nonsense that even a clever fifth grader could not explain, so just ignore it. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
