A great premise, and the film has moments that live up to it.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 15, 2023

Though it features strong performances and suitably goopy creature effects, the film falters in its pacing and tonal shifts. Worst of all, The Seed exhibits a nasty misogynistic streak.

What if iMac and Mei but with a horned-up Godzooky?

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 19, 2022

Pretty people, pretty scenery, pretty disgusting.

Full Review | Original Score: 8.5/10 | Apr 10, 2022

A spirited if familiar body-horror comedy...

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 23, 2022

The Seed is a sci-fi horror from writerdirector Sam Walker that is exclusively on Shudder which takes the vacuous world of a couple of Instagram influencers and their friend.

Full Review | Mar 19, 2022

The Seed is a horrorcomedy with an interesting concept that gets in its own way, tripping up on the road to glory. Instead, we get a film which is rather dull and poorly executed.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 18, 2022

The Seed has very little new to offer but it plays quite pleasantly with several genre staples and ladles it with some oozy gore and slime to satisfy the demands of body horror gurus.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 17, 2022

The Seed provides viewers with brutal body horror and effective ‘80s nostalgia but could have dived even deeper into its wacky premise.

Full Review | Mar 15, 2022

Albeit a good-looking movie with a fascinating premise, Sam Walker's The Seed is constantly being held hostage by its poorly written script.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 15, 2022

All in all, there’s enough here to suggest that Walker might deliver something interesting in the future, but this is a just the seed of that promise, and little more.

All Im looking for in a movie is a little joy, and this bat-st, cheezy, sci-fi spectacle of eye-popping alien insanity put a big dumb smile on my face. Mission Accomplished.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 11, 2022

Featuring a fantastic cast, who perfectly embody the obsession with social media, wild creature effects, and an intense, blood-splattered final act, The Seed is a highly enjoyable horror comedy.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 10, 2022

While it has some technical achievements to recommend it, the movie suffers from inconsistent pacing, as if its trying to fill time to get to the good stuff.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 10, 2022

The Seed is a darkly humorous jaunt that allows chaos to crash through influencer culture, leaving carnage in its wake.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 10, 2022

The Seed is ultimately too scattershot to be truly successful... But fans of gooey creature FX and gloopy tentacle mayhem will be rewarded for their patience.

Full Review | Mar 9, 2022

he film is fast-paced and gives plenty to watch as it moves along. There are a few air brained elements here and there, but its easy to just move past these and enjoy the film.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 9, 2022

It wants to be funny and polished and sometimes even finds that sweet spot. Walker has some interesting ideas and an eye for panache, but the whole leaves much to be desired.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Mar 8, 2022

Sam Walkers The Seed is a psychedelic interplanetary strain thats like Society meets a Cosmopolitan photoshoot.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 7, 2022

The Seed has a lot of interesting ideas at play. Strong performances and an interesting premise will keep audiences watching, but things become disjointed in the back half of the movie. Great ending, though.
