Sure, as I sat down to watch this 2021 horror comedy "The Seed" from writer and director Sam Walker, I must admit that I hadn't even ever heard about the movie. But it had an interesting cover, and the synopsis did sound interesting enough. And of course with it being a horror comedy that I hadn't already seen, of course I managed to find the time to do so.
Well, the concept idea behind "The Seed" was interesting enough, but the movie itself, in terms of being enjoyable and entertaining, not so much. The movie just felt flaccid and sort of pointless. There were no particular drive to the movie, and once it ended, I just shrugged it off and figured that I had essentially just wasted 91 minutes on almost nothing.
The storyline was poorly brought to fruition on the screen, and since not a whole lot of anything worthwhile or interesting happening as the movie snailed its way from start to end, it was a struggle to sit through this ordeal of a movie.
The acting performances were actually good enough. The movie had a very, very small cast ensemble, but I will say that they actually carried the movie well enough with their performances. Just a real shame that the storyline was rubbish. I wasn't familiar with the cast that acted in "The Seed".
As for "The Seed" being a horror comedy, well the elements of both genres were not really shining through. I wasn't laughing throughout the course of the movie, nor did writer and director Sam Walker even manage to make me smile. Nor were I thrilled, excited or terrified throughout the course of "The Seed". So it was a swing and a miss of a movie.
It should be noted, though, that the special effects and visual effects in the movie were actually good enough and interesting. But they could only do so much for salvaging a downhill train wreck of a movie.
If you enjoy horror comedy movies, like I do, then you might just as well slither on to another movie, because "The Seed" simply just isn't worth the time, money or effort.
My rating of "The Seed" lands on a three out of ten stars, as the movie felt wholly and completely irrelevant and pointless.
