Critics Consensus

Although its uneven story proves somewhat barren ground, The Seed offers a reasonably entertaining harvest for forgiving horror fans seeking a gory good time.

Abby Olcese

RogerEbert.com

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

Sight & Sound

Sam Walker's increasingly grotesque feature debut is as much a satire of online narcissism and viral toxicity as an alien invasion flick, as these Earth girls prove all too easy in the face of outside influence.

Everything is Horrible (Substack)

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

Rated: 6/10

We Who Walk Here

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.

A wacky, wild ride filled with silly characters, bizarre plot twists, and a disgustingly endearing alien visitor. It's absurd and entertaining.

Original, sobre todas las cosas, y (bastante) bizarra en general. No es un tanque que vale millones ni una película que vaya a quedar nominada al Oscar pero tampoco puedo decir que es mala, sencillamente cumple. Para verla alguna vez y no mucho mas.

One small seed can grow into gigantic terror A meteor shower is taking place and a group of girls venture out to a house in the desert They want to party and get a clear view of the night sky But they get more than they bargained for when the meteor passes by and lands on Earth; not only do they find it but a monstrous alien life form has taken hold of them Slowly it begins to gestate inside these women one by one birthing into something inhuman This definitely isn't for epileptics mind you Director Sam Walker doesn't shy away from the grotesque body horror and gore Kinda matches the lines of 'Slither' The storytelling is kind of uneven given it's about social media influencers, trying to get the most out of one single setting, and a bunch of people who come off self-centered and unlikable Still for horror fans it gets as freaky as they come A grotesque feature debut is as much a satire of online narcissism and viral toxicity as an alien invasion flick, even if it doesn't gel together 100% Diving deeper into its premise could've benefited more as a whole but for a quick dispensable time waster it does its job fine

WellHelloSidney

This is not a blockbuster hit, but it wasn't entirely terrible either. It was a different spin on alien invasion and how it affects 3 girls on vacation. There's gore and some freaky deaky parts in it that make for strange horror reminiscent of "from beyond". I'm not sure if I'd watch it again but it was ok for entertainment. 3 stars is fair.

Overall, those who enjoy horror films like The Thing will get a brainless kick out of this release. Performances are pleasing as the three leads carry this film to the end. But sadly, the main three characters are generally unlikeable thanks to childish dialogue and us witnessing their many unwise choices throughout the film. For the most part, the film is predictable and takes its sweet time to get to the core plot, thanks to several subplots that are uninteresting and dull to watch. Thanks to elements such as the cast, practical effects, etc., the potential is here. The Seed isn't something out of this world, but more of a meteor that burns fast and crashes hard.

Hugo - Shudder F

Poorly written and poorly acted. Terrible special effects. The combination of horror, comedy and sci-fi simply doesn't work at any level. "The Seed" should be a case study of all the mistakes that need to be avoided in any horror movie.
