Devil Seed

A college student moves in with her extremely annoying friends before getting possessed in this unoriginal horror flick that brings nothing new, nor entertaining to the table. This movie is over 90 minutes of pure asinine tedium. It's the sort of teen scream film that gives a bad name to that aforementioned sub-genre. No scares, no good characterization, no good anything for that matter save for some minor nudity that may sedate the most forgiving watcher, but those that actually care about what they choose to watch, steer clear of this one. You'll thank me later.

Just another routine possession movie. Noting really groundbreaking. Was really wanting a good supernatural movie. This wasn't it. It killed some time though. And every so often a good possession movie does come out and surprise us. Nothing will ever top the Exorcist IMO but I have enjoyed several including recent ones like Deliver Us from Evil, The Devil Inside. The Exorcism of Emily Rose, A Haunting in Connecticut, amongst others including older classics This just doesn't come close to any of them. Yu can pass by this one unless like me you want to kill time watching am OK possession film. Just don't expect much.

Well, this is a horror flick I have a few difficulties with. It all looked well done but the budget makes it sometimes laughable and the scariness goes away by that.

A lot of effects is 100% CGI and it shows that it was the cheap kind of CGI. And some CGI is seen but the next shot is isn't there anymore, just watch the all crackle, next shot the wall is in excellent shape. When Alex (Michelle Argyris) is possessed you can easily spot the make-up. But it's not all that bad. The acting was rather good. I would recommend it for teenagers, not that creepy and bloody but with a lot of girls walking around in their underwear. The flick starts off very hot with Bree (Vanessa Broze) having sex but you can see what you will get, she's fully naked but you only see her for behind getting her ride. She makes it good in a shower scene were she goes full frontal when the camera zooms out.

All clichés from possessed flicks are here to see, the changing of the voice and face. Even the spiderwalk is here just like in The Exorcist (1973), of course the original is still the best. It's low on gore and on red stuff, it do has it's good moments but overall it's sometimes a bit laughable due the effects.

Ideal for teenagers to watch but buffs and geeks must stay away from it before they get possessed.

One of the hardest, yet most popular horror genre's to get films made is of possession. Most of them are either silly or just rehashes of everything else that has come before it. The latest Devil Seed doesn't seem to have much new to offer, but those are sometimes the ones that step out of the shadows to surprise you.

Devil Seed follows a college student who moves in with girlfriends after the holidays. After having a few drinks out on the town and visit a psychic causing her to freak her friend out after having some sort of episode. With no memory of what happened, she slowly starts experience changes both sexual and violent leading her and everyone else to wonder what is inside her. At first this movie flows pretty well delivering an interesting take on the genre, but then slowly starts to fall somewhat apart. The story and performances seem to take a downward spiral into bad as if everyone lost track of what they were trying to do. There are some really well done possession moments that elevates the film and give you hope that it's back on track, but end just as quick as they begin. Luckily they keep returning to keep you interested just long enough for it to end. The real issue here is the sometimes over acting and other times played down performances that really do not keep a good feel of what these characters are trying to convey.

While this is in no way one of the worst films in this genre, it just didn't take advantage of the film it had. The story itself would have worked fine had they just thinned out the story a bit. Either way if you are a fan of the possession genre and trying to find one that will finally work for you, give Devil Seed a chance. Compared to most of those that hit the shelves on a weekly basis this one is way better.

I will put up with a lot to watch a horror.... it's hard to find a really good one and I understand, accept and even like that you have to watch a lot of B's, C's and D's to find one that might rate higher.

This one rates way, way lower.

If the main actor wheeze-breathed any more I think I would have to rip my ears off. She has 3 expressions - blank, concerned/worried/scared (they're all the same), and devil face.

The only redeeming feature about this film was the supporting actor, the brunette friend. The rest of the cast acted like they were in a school play and they'd had about 3 days to rehearse.

There were no real scares, no jolts, and certainly nothing unexpected. My friend and I were anticipating the dialogue and most of the time we got it right.... there are no new premises here! I really would rather have re-watched nearly any other movie than see this for the first time..... Give this one a big ol' miss.
