Seed from Metrodome in November

31 October 2008

Oh man, i really must catch one of Uwe Boll's films one of these days. He's managed to build himself an astonishing reputation as a filmmaker whose work exists only to be loudly despised, yet they keep giving him money to make more so the movies have to be finding an audience somewhere. Frankly I'm surprised our resident cheapo horror guru Gort hasn't already started work on a retrospective. And so we have Seed, released in 2007 and shot back-to-back with his video game adaptation Postal, and starring Michael Paré, who was also in Postal, but we like to remember him from The Philedelphia Experiment and The Virgin Suicides.

Max Seed is the most diabolical criminal force the world has ever known. But his arrest and execution are only the beginning of his brutal reign of terror. Sentenced to die in the electric chair, Seed's body refuses to succumb and he find himself saved by a bizarre and cruel twist of law: if on the third pull of the switch, a prisoner fails to die, his life must be spared. But his captors will allow this monster no such pity and they bury the unconscious Seed in an unmarked shallow grave. What does not kill this animal, however, makes him stronger than anyone could have imagined. Clawing his way from the earth, Seed embarks on a trail of havoc and revenge, tracking down each of his executioners one by one and making them pay with everything they hold dear. Yep, that sounds like Uwe Boll all right.

If you're up for it, then you won't have long to wait, as Seed will be released on UK DVD by Metrodome on 24th November 2008 at the RRP of £15.99. Special features include a behind-the-scenes featurette and a trailer.
