Uwe Boll Shoots His ‘Seed’ In Your Eyes… In Trailer Form

Posted by Rob Hunter (rob@filmschoolrejects.com) on August 18, 2008

Uwe Boll's Seed

Poor Uwe Boll. He gets no respect, no accolades, no love… nothing but grief and German financing to keep churning out movies. And now he’s gone and directed yet another one. I believe this is only Boll’s second film not based on a video game property, the first being last year’s Tunnel Rats.

Seed is an “original” tale about an executed serial killer who returns from the dead, or near-dead in this case, to wreak havoc on a small town. Per IMDB, “The reign of violence that follows will redefine the boundaries of extreme gore, physical & mental torture explored through cinema.” Sounds amazingly brutal and intense.

Looks incredibly stupid and cheap. And bloody… I’ll give it bloody.

  • Looked pretty cool... until the actors started talking. Really, even if the director is as talented as Uwe Boll, any decent actor would be capable of giving a somehow convincing performance, right? I guess Boll doesn't work with decent actors...

    Like you said, it looks bloody and it looks intense, but it also looks cheap... don't think I'll ever see it.
  • Matador
    looks aweful. he wont ever do anything worth watching. thats his lot in life. too bad for him.
  • Lost me at "Sufferton, USA." Really? The town's name is Sufferton? As in Suffer Town? Thanks, Boll.

    Second the dialog remark. Quick check...and...yup, Boll wrote it. Has he tried making German films?

    @ Sebastian: "even if the director is as talented as Uwe Boll..." What are you talking about? You mean, when the direct is a talentless hack like Uwe Boll right? Thought so.
  • yeah, sorry, I meant "untalented". (or you could consider it as a crappy sarcastic remark, heh.)
  • Taking easy pot shots again. This movie actually looks good from the trailer. If it was from anyone else, no one would be ragging on it for anything other than being seemingly low budget. The only problem was the Final Cut Pro text inserts that were static.

    @Cole
    Sufferton? You're picking on that? Some real town names: Hell, Paradise, Bird in Hand, Blue Balls, Truth Or Consequences, Last Chance, Bacon, Waterproof, California (as in California, Maryland). And it was Sufferton County.

    Give Bole a break, this movie looks fine so far.
  • @ Fure, we get it. You're today's FSR contrarian, a position usually held by Abaius. All well and good except for the fact that you're also full of shit. If this trailer didn't have Uwe Boll's stamp on it we wouldn't even be watching it. But we do watch because we want to see if this monkey on a typewriter can eventually churn out some Shakespeare.

    And as far as easy pot shots go... how about a Boiling Point on cell phones in movie theaters. Oooh! Zing! Zap! Kapow!
  • I owned a monkey who typed about 3/4ths of Twelfth Night before tacking on the ending to Mom and Dad Save the World right when Malvolio starts treating the other servants really rudely. It actually, sort of, made sense, and I could see John Lovitz in both roles.
  • If Boll is so horrible (and I'm not saying he isnt) then why does FSR give him so much coverage? Running Gag? Easy Target? So Bad He Can't Be Ignored? A Cultural Force To Be Reckoned With? - Just interested in your opinions, thanks. - Senseless Babble

    Actually, I'm just a horror fan and as a horror fan, I see low budget movies all the time and this trailer honestly looks better than nearly all of the After Dark HorrorFest entries. Boll is a technically proficient director, if not someone overly concerned with the acting part of the movie, and he works on little money. I don't have a problem with Boll. Alone in the Dark wasn't bad, House of the Dead is watchable (remove the video game footage and it might even be cool). The BloodRayne's sucked hard. You don't put in Uwe Boll and expect Schindler's List. He can make enjoyable crap.

    Enjoy riding your high horses up in your towers.
  • @ Senseless Babble, FSR gives him attention because we secretly want Boll to show up on Neil's doorstep in Ohio and challenge him to a fight. Boll's movies suck, but the man himself is entertaining.

    @ Fure, Your "I'm just a caveman" argument is weak for several reasons, most notably the fact that you're flat out wrong. The After Dark films may suck, but they often had somewhat interesting premises. Seed is not interesting as we've seen it all before in better (and to be fair, equally bad-looking) films. No one's expecting Spielberg quality from Boll, but low budget doesn't have to equal shit acting, writing, and action set-pieces. Look at The Machine Girl... most likely cost a lot less than Boll's had to play with but it was a hell of a lot more entertaining than any of his movies.
