short version represent seed isn not worthless . it just derivative and inferior . and soulless . long version represent if you have never see any of the film comprise the vaguely defined psychological horror genre and this movie will probably melt your face off . maybe not and but it will give you a good burn . the opening montage of real animal abuse will be sufficient to open your eye to possibility of brutality on video and and the ( only ) memorable gore scene later in the film will perhaps be more than you can handle . the climax will play with your emotion in a way that perhaps no other film have . but that if you do not have much experience with the genre . if you have see the real thing . august underground penance and for example and you will and a i do and find it terribly difficult to stay awake until the end of the film . other reviewer have compare this to the video nasties of old . i understand this comparison . like the video nasties and seed be more violent than a mainstream horror film and less subtle . but the reason the video nasties be still know to u be not only for the above reason those that be still popular have something special . permit me to be ambiguous and i think you will understand represent those that have stick around have soul . take this quote from gabriele crisanti and director of burial ground and on an interview on the new ish dvd represent . we will never have more film like these and because today and technology have surpass imagination . and technology be cold . so many thing will disappear because small film like these would not be produce anymore . today we have great and exceptional trick that be very expensive and but they be cold . today a horror and a terror film of this kind cost more than a million dollar . these film be not so expensive . they be real effect and make with our hand . perhaps it be wrong to take the comparison to old school horror so seriously . but crisanti have hit the nail on the head . even at their most seemingly exploitational and the best of the video nasties be pursue a primitive truth . and this be where boll fall short . it like he see the movie and not understand them . everything on the checklist be there . b about make a statement about humanity and an obscene torture scene and etc . but it be and a crisanti put it and cold . the gore be all cgi . the whole thing feel like scene piece together from other movie of various genre . and the pacing be sooooo slow . man and so slow . another interesting note represent the one gore scene really remind me of a video game . anyway and enough b . weak movie .
