I never write reviews but I had to on this one because I am actually a fan of uwe boll's work he has gotten better over the years and can make a half decent movie thesedays, but why did he let his production company or him himself let them make this incoherent garbage it was thrown up all over the place going back and forth for no reason whatsoever the special effects were just lame and the story made no sense whatsoever. At least the first one had a story and was a brutal movie which made you squeamish in the stomach. Avoid this at all costs. Also whoever wrote the positive review of this movie has to of had some part of this movie as no one in their right mind would find anything positive in this movie.

Unwatchable
jhs3922 July 2014
Normally a sequel to an Uwe Boll movie that isn't directed by Uwe Boll can be counted on to be at least a slight improvement on the original film--but Seed 2: The New Breed is the exception. This movie is so dreadful it actually makes Boll look good, sort of.
Fans of the original Seed, if there are any, will likely be disappointed that this seems to have virtually nothing to do with the original film. Actually, it feels more like an unofficial Hills Have Eyes sequel than a follow up to Seed.
Seed 2: The New Breed appears to have been shot on digital video, really badly. Most of the film looks ugly and over-bright. The acting and dialog are beyond bad. The movie is clearly meant to be transgressive and disturbing (the opening scene involves a gun barrel being shoved between a squealing young woman's thighs) but the movie is simply too incompetent to make an impact beyond inspiring a strong desire to turn it off.

As with a few of his more recent, non-video game adapted films, I enjoyed Uwe Boll's serial killer flick, "Seed", more than most. As far as Boll's body of work goes, the BAD definitely outweighs the good, overall, but I've dug a few of the more mean-spirited movies he's done in the past few years (Postal, Rampage). He only served as an executive producer on this sequel which, regardless of how much you hate the first, makes THAT look like "Citizen Kane". "Blood Valley: Seed's Revenge" - aka. "Seed 2: The New Breed" - is a new level of sh*ttiness.
A group of bimbos are on an RV trip from Vegas, back to Chicago, when they experience some engine trouble in the desert. They end up falling into the clutches of Max Seed and his sadistic family who live in the desert and partake in religious, sacrificial rituals for some reason...
The major problem with this one is that the "story" is constantly jumping all over the f*cking place - starting with the ending, then transitioning out of NOWHERE to the beginning... then somewhere in the middle, then PRE-trip, then back to the end and so on and so forth. Why did they do this? Who the f*ck knows, but it's beyond annoying and kills any kind of fluidity this sh*t-pile could've had. Not that a completely linear 'timeline' of events would've made this GOOD, but it would have made it at least a tad more watchable. Every actor sucks - except, maybe for Seed, who is just a big guy in a mask who is given only one guttural line - and the violence/gore factor is surprisingly 'light', aside from a gun barrel rape/murder which was nothing special (and is shown twice...). "Seed 2" is a completely worthless and amateurish sh*tfest.

Went to a horror convention and bought t'his flick while the main villain was sitting there, Nick Principe. A really nice guy who was afraid to be caught taking a selfie with me, because you had to pay for pictures with the stars. Have seen a few flicks with him this was one that I really can't say that it was any good.
Strange to see Uwe Boll being used to promote this flick due the fact that many geeks find his flicks utter trash. And this wasn't any good at all. I give you one example. When victims are stabbed by a machete there's really no blood coming out of the wounds. And don't let me go deep into the acting if you could talk of any. Campbell is the one who tear this flick down to ground level. I just don't get it why people are still casting her.
Seed 2 is slow and doesn't have a good story. Nick does his best by not saying anything at all maybe he did know what was going on. Uwe Boll addicts will love this but many will be left with a huh feeling...

A complete and utter waste of 90 minutes.
CruorEnthusiast2521 August 2014
Let's get one thing straight: I only watched this film out of curiosity. I knew it was going to be bad, but I had seen the first movie by Uwe Boll a while ago and was curious to see how the sequel would turn out. Despite watching this movie with my expectations at almost zero, I still was appalled at how bad a flick this turned out to be. One of the worst movies I've EVER seen, and definitely the worst horror movie I've seen.
The first film's director, Uwe Boll, is notorious for his poor films, which are said by numerous critics to suffer from serious flows in script, directing, acting, etc. This film, although directed by another director named Marcel Walz, does nothing but also fall into this category of Z-movies.
Let's get down to what is actually wrong with the movie: a poorly written script filled with lazy and silly dialogue, effortless directing, wooden acting, infuriatingly amateur cinematography, cheesy and laughable special effects, and, perhaps worst of all, a story that makes little to no sense.
The film attempts a Pulp Fiction-like story structure in which the events of the film are not in chronological order, and therefore leaving it up to the viewer to figure which scene happened when. While this works in Pulp Fiction, it just makes this film confusing and wondering what the heck is going on.
In addition to these flaws, the film is not scary whatsoever, despite a few gross-out gore scenes that attempt to scare, but fail. The only remotely entertaining part of this film is the unintentional laughs that occur occasionally, but these goofs aren't enough to compensate for 90 minutes of boredom and eagerness for an ending.
And let's not forget how little relevance this sequel has in relation to the first movie, showing almost no relation, and even lacking some of the very few decent qualities of the first one, too.
DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM. A sheer waste of time.

Germany - Zero points
dschmeding2 August 2014
The first Seed Movie by Uwe Boll was already pretty bad but compared to this waste of resources even Seed 1 seems like pure genius. Everything about this movie looks like a student project. The opening scene introduces us to bad acting, bad writing and timing and starts the movie with a calculated provocative scene that immediately falls flat on its face.
After that you are basically treated to half an hour of boredom, incredibly bad acting from the female leads and dialog and a "plot" that is so blatantly ripped off a hundred other movies and re-invented in the most annoying way possible that I really wonder if many make it more than 20 minutes into this "movie". So you have a van full of bad acting chicks driving through the desert, picking up hitchhikers, meeting a bored police woman acting even worse than everyone else... and then they die. Sometimes it looks like they wanted to go for a "Hills have eyes" style... but after all its just shots of the desert and a guy in a mask killing chicks.
The camera work is mediocre (still the best about the movie), the sound mixing is off with several characters far too hard to understand, the choice of music is bad, the editing is uneven and forced, the storytelling and dialog are childish (must have been written on a bus ride or something) and even the only thing that could make this a little watchable looks cheap and unrealistic.... the FX. Usually German horror movies suck at almost everything but deliver some decent FX. Seed delivers absolutely NOTHING.
Avoid at any cost.

Can not get worse than this
DejanNicolic22 March 2014
So this is the first review I will write for a movie that I watched. I have seen 'Seed 2' at a Saarbrucken Film Festival and could not believe that this movie could be worse than Uwe Bolls'Seed'. The story is very unoriginal and stole from other movies left and right. The acting is horrible amateur with Caroline Williams and Nik Principe as the only exceptions. Caroline Williams acting is great as always. Very sad that she and Nik Principe accepted to be in this movie. Christa Campbell overacted but looked hot like sex films. Nathalie Scheet did not do much or could not do much just like Annika Strauss. Manoush seemed bored or tired and did not try either.The camera work is amateurish and the all over look of the movie is cheap. They say here in IMDb that they had a budget 1,2 Million which in my opinion is a lie. Watch the movie and you will see they hardly spend more than 50000 on it. You can find the movie for free in torrents so you will not have to spend any money for it. Marcel Wals as I see here in the IMDb is a very young director. Hope for him that he learn to make movies because this one is a complete wrack. Can not recommend this.
Not clever
kosmasp24 October 2014
Seed is back, who'd have thunk it? Everybody? Yes OK, so they always come back and I am guessing you have watched the first one. Though even if you haven't, it's not really necessary (yes there is a connection, one you might guess anyway, but let's leave it at that). The movie tries to be clever, with its time-line jumping, but it's not working at all. Quite the opposite is the case.
Also having a disturbing scene twice (at the beginning and later in the movie) played out almost entirely, is not clever, but trying to make a movie longer than it actually is. Something that is really weak and shows that there was very little to start with. The main idea was not that good anyway. And the one naked blood covered female should not change your opinion on this movie ... unless it makes even worse that is, but that's not really possible. And while the first Boll directed (this is not his movie folks!) had more than a couple of issues, it tried to say something. This on the other hand ....

Granted, I haven't seen the first "Seed" movie, so I have no clue whether or not this sequel lives up to the first movie. But given the low ratings both part 1 and 2 have scored on IMDb, then I guess the first movie was just as bad as this sequel was.
The storyline was completely pointless, if not utter rubbish. A group of girls are on a roadtrip, when they have to pass through the desert. Coming across a police woman on foot in the middle of the desert, the girls stop and decide to give her a helping hand. But something is very wrong this far out in the desert.
Right... Well, the storyline was fairly straight forward, but towards the end it took a rather unforeseen turn for the worse and it just went downhill so fast. Prior to that, then the movie did bear some resemblance to movies such as "The Hill Have Eyes".
"Seed 2: The New Breed" doesn't really bring anything innovative to the genre. In fact, this is the type of movie that you just shut down your brain while watching, because it requires nothing from the audience.
The acting in the movie was good and the camera work was good, and that the the high points of the movie, the rest was just a waste of time.
The sound effects were so off the chart that is was just annoying. Someone got shot in the head, and there was a long series of slurp-like sounds. It just didn't make any sense whatsoever.
"Seed 2: The New Breed" tries to be brutal, but it fails in doing so. There is nothing original or innovating about the entire movie. And it becomes a struggle to sit through the entire movie to the very end.
I can't really recommend "Seed 2: The New Breed" to anyone, because it was a waste of time. And now having suffered through it, I can honestly say that I am not even going to bother with part one.

I was going to give Seed 2 all the chances in the world to impress me. Even if i didn't expect it to be a masterpiece, i was hoping that it would be nasty enough to at least make it worth one viewing. Unfortunately everything about Seed 2 really stinks! I like to point out positives, no matter how bad the wreckage is, but i couldn't find a positive with this travesty of a film! The acting, the special effects, the story telling, the structure, were all sub par, making it a movie that got very boring, very quickly. I can't really comment any further, so i will leave by saying that YES, this film is as bad as everyone makes it out to be! avoid!
Marcel Walz creates a worthy sequel that definitely lives up to the name
ElLoGGe27 March 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Marcel Walz is a name which instantly flashes to your head when you think of German indie movie making. In 2014 he not only brings us one or two, but three movies which will leave you sleepless. Besides the newly made Directors Cut of his 2013 movie Raw and its sequel Raw 2, he gives the horror fans a sequel to one of the most disturbing and sick Slashermovies out there: Seed! But can Seed 2 life up to the hype?
After their bachelor party some Girls are on their way home, but this ride will become everything else but joyful. On this Trip they meet some bizarre people and have to realize that their meeting up with Death! A journey which will become a nightmare for everyone!
The story of Seed 2 is one hell of a mix between a Road Movie, a little bit of Hills Have Eyes and some sparkles of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Seed 2 is something completely different than its predecessor and that's only for the best, because you don't get that feeling that you have seen it all in the original. Marcel Walz is truly one sick guy and everybody who is familiar with his work, such as La Petite Mort or Candy House (Schlaraffenhaus). La Petite Mort is for most fans currently the best of his work and Candy House is a movie which will captivate you and leave you truly frightened. But Seed 2 ramps up everything you've seen this far from him. Right away, when not even the opening credits have rolled, you will be speechless and standing on your couch, cause the movie will hit you like battering ram. Such an Intro for a movie hasn't been seen yet and you get a glimpse of what is to come. Max Seed takes no prisoners and that's one thing you know for sure after not even 1 minute.
After that, the movie makes one step back and you will be jumping through the time. One Day earlier, the night before and so on. Because of that the story will leave you exhausted and with every new display the jigsaw becomes a little bit clearer. But you also get a certain feeling of insecurity, cause you never know what awaits, when the black screen is gone. Is someone being tortured? Is everybody still alive? It's this insecurity which leaves you breathless and frightened and that's one thing you don't see very often in modern horror flicks. Not even the original Seed was so intense.
In the sound department Marcel Walz again proves that he definitely knows what a good choice of songs has to be like and Seed 2 is his greatest choice this far. The great house-like song right at the beginning or the rocking sound at the end of the movie, everything fits perfect in the gritty mood of the movie itself. It's like going on a journey yourself which starts happy and party-like and ends in totally mayhem. The actors are the who is who of independent movies. Besides Annika Strauss, the German scream-queen, you'll find Natalie Scheetz, Christa Campbell, Sarah Hayden, Manoush, Caroline Williams and Nick Principe and they all doing an exceptional job. Especially Manoush is born for the roll of the psychopath and she proves why she is always used as this.
But the one thing everybody wants to know is the gore and in movie by the name of seed you're definitely expecting some nasty kills. The original stayed in everybody's mind because of it's dark, gritty Gore overkill, but Seed 2 isn't anything less gory. The effects were made by Ryan Nicholson, who even plays a small part in the movie itself, and everybody who is familiar with Ryans work will know what he is up to. Every kill is sick and disturbing although they don't really spray blood everywhere but you'll be shocked and that's one good thing. Especially Annika Strauss has to survive some truly disturbing and sick torture. Nothing Marcel Walz has done before can be compared to this beast of a sicko.
Seed 2 is the highlight in the career of Marcel Walz. Dark, Gritty and totally sick. Fast Cuts and jumps in the story will leave you exhausted, so that you can't even thing about boredom. Every Fan of horror movies needs to watch this bad boy and will embark on one wild ride.

Seed 2

Warning: Spoilers
It would be nice to describe this film as a sick fantasy, unfortunately there is absolutely nothing nice about it, and although it is unquestionably sick, it is not even fantasy because over the course of the 20th Century especially from the 1960s onwards we saw the real thing with the Tata-LaBiancha Murders, Bob Berdella, the Chicago Rippers and many more both within and outside of the United States.
While a documentary about a serial murderer may have some or even a great deal of merit, what merit is there in a low budget horror film that revolves around the slaughter of a group of passingly attractive Beta females in the Arizona Desert?
Unless you are into mild special effects - like seeing a woman crucified - give this one a miss.

Back in 2011 I had the pleasure of meeting director Marcel Walz and actress Annika Strauss at The European Weekend of Horrors in Germany. They were lovely people, extremely passionate about their chosen pursuit and very friendly, so it pains me to say that Seed 2 (AKA Blood Valley: Seed's Revenge), directed by Walz and starring Strauss, and co-written by the pair, is far from a great film (to put it mildly).
A sequel to Uwe Boll's Seed (2006), Seed 2 follows four girls, Christine, Olivia, Barbara and Claire (played by Natalie Scheetz, Christa Campbell, Sarah Hayden, and Strauss), who, after a wild hen night in Vegas, run into a family of killers in the desert, one of whom is none other than Max Seed (Nick Principe), the psycho from the first film.
What follows is a series of torture scenes involving some fairly brutal violence (gore courtesy of director/SFX guy Ryan Nicholson), but what makes the movie a total let down is the woefully unoriginal script (which borrows heavily from The Hills Have Eyes and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre), the equally dire performances, and, worst of all, the pointless non-linear style that, rather than add intrigue, simply makes the whole thing a confusing and thoroughly irritating mess.
Sorry Marcel, and sorry Annika, but I rate Seed 2 a pitiful 3 out of 10 (solely for the gore), minus half a point for having Claire wander the desert despite being run through with a serrated knife and nailed to the ground, and minus another half for leaving me scratching my head in puzzlement: exactly who was Caroline Williams supposed to be? Seed's mother? In which case, who was The Officer (Manoush) and why did Max Seed snap her neck at the end?

My Review Of "Blood Valley: Seed's Revenge"
ASouthernHorrorFan29 August 2014
Seed returns in "Blood Valley: Seed's Revenge", this time with new story and direction provided by Marcel Walz. Uwe Boll hangs back as producer on this sequel to the 2007 slasher horror. "Seed's Revenge" moves the nightmare into the desert of the southwest, not far from Las Vegas, where some girlfriends find themselves battling for survival against Max Seed's brutality.
"Seed's Revenge" takes on a whole different look and feel than the original film directed by Uwe Boll. This one has a modern grindhouse/torture porn thing happening that comes of more like Suicide Girls take on the Hills That Have Eyes. It just really doesn't fit the bases of what Boll created with the character and his mythos-what little there was of one. Max Seed still is just as menacing and brutal as ever, only in "Seed's Revenge" there seems to be less of a plot than in the original one.
The cast do decent enough jobs at being lambs for the slaughter, but there isn't a strong continuity in the style that Walz chose for the full story arc to make an appearance here. Choppy scenes fragmented between the present and past events are more cumbersome than dramatic and emotional. I understood the intend of showing the powerful and gritty fate of the characters, then pull us into the more human, and compassionate side, but so often, and suddenly makes it almost unnecessarily broken-the story that is. It also confuses the intended effect.
The special effects are half and half. The practical, bloody, full on graphic violence is still present in "Blood Valley: Seed's Revenge" , but the theatrical nature and religious overture of the sequences felt more ridiculous than artistic. Then there is that pesky CGI stuff that kills moments. Plus the moments that CGI was used in this film could have been done just as effectively through practical application. The soundtrack and atmosphere is acceptable, however it is over used a lot. Some scenes the music just bursts into the scene for no real reason- especially when the result is so underwhelming.
Overall "Blood Valley: Seed's Revenge" is a let down. The story is a thin, fragile spectre of the Max Seed mythos, with more torture porn attention paid than actual, purposeful story. Plus the setting and deeper development of Max Seed's character, and a few others introduced, just seems convoluted. On a positive note, the kills are gruesome, bloody and brutal. There is no remorse or concern for audience tolerance. The ending that ties into the first film is a really cool moment in the film but not enough to save this sequel. If you set out to see the film just be warned that it is less impressive than the first film-by Uwe Boll-that that as you will.
"Seed's Revenge" takes on a whole different look and feel than the original film directed by Uwe Boll. This one has a modern grindhouse/torture porn thing happening that comes of more like Suicide Girls take on the Hills That Have Eyes. It just really doesn't fit the bases of what Boll created with the character and his mythos-what little there was of one. Max Seed still is just as menacing and brutal as ever, only in "Seed's Revenge" there seems to be less of a plot than in the original one.
The cast do decent enough jobs at being lambs for the slaughter, but there isn't a strong continuity in the style that Walz chose for the full story arc to make an appearance here. Choppy scenes fragmented between the present and past events are more cumbersome than dramatic and emotional. I understood the intend of showing the powerful and gritty fate of the characters, then pull us into the more human, and compassionate side, but so often, and suddenly makes it almost unnecessarily broken-the story that is. It also confuses the intended effect.
The special effects are half and half. The practical, bloody, full on graphic violence is still present in "Blood Valley: Seed's Revenge" , but the theatrical nature and religious overture of the sequences felt more ridiculous than artistic. Then there is that pesky CGI stuff that kills moments. Plus the moments that CGI was used in this film could have been done just as effectively through practical application. The soundtrack and atmosphere is acceptable, however it is over used a lot. Some scenes the music just bursts into the scene for no real reason- especially when the result is so underwhelming.
Overall "Blood Valley: Seed's Revenge" is a let down. The story is a thin, fragile spectre of the Max Seed mythos, with more torture porn attention paid than actual, purposeful story. Plus the setting and deeper development of Max Seed's character, and a few others introduced, just seems convoluted. On a positive note, the kills are gruesome, bloody and brutal. There is no remorse or concern for audience tolerance. The ending that ties into the first film is a really cool moment in the film but not enough to save this sequel. If you set out to see the film just be warned that it is less impressive than the first film-by Uwe Boll-that that as you will.
Absolute garbage

You've seen movies where there's no real story, just a villain brutalizing young, semi- attractive girls for no apparent reason? Well, this is like that, but with a non-linear narrative! I think the trick is that you are forced to watch to the end to see if there is in fact any kind of coherent story. If you do, let me know, because I only made it 30 minutes in.

Warning: Spoilers
The film starts off with a woman being shot in the crotch then goes into a "one day earlier." Chrissy (Natalie Scheetz) is having a bachelorette party in Vegas and opt to take route 51 back home to Chicago. While traveling we get minimal character build-up but we do get enough information to make us expect the overused classic "twist" in this type of tale. Now when we flash back to the future, we don't pick up where we left off, but rather at some place in between, so we know what happens next time they stop the vehicle.
Film adds nothing new to the genre other than really bad editing.
Guide: F-bomb. Nudity (Christa Campbell)

The song in the first end credits. It's not a movie. It's just garbage without any sense. A cynical sequence of useless bloody scenes. However the song in the final scene is fine a lot. I have been not able to get the title of it.

This SEED should have been planted...and not allowed to grow.

WOW!!! This is one HORRIFICALLY BAD movie! The first "SEED" was tolerable,but this swamp fire of a movie is just laughable at BEST! The "acting" is SO BAD that it almost makes this movie a COMEDY! If I HAD to give this movie ONE POSITIVE,it would be the gore effects,and I'm being GENEROUS at saying that. This "director" BLATANTLY ripped off ideas from "Texas Chainsaw" (the newer ones with the sheriff character) and "The Hills Have Eyes". This dude brought NOTHING NEW to the table. This movie was a complete waste of time. There are many MANY more gore or slasher movies that could occupy your time WAYYYYYYY better than this mess. Trust me.
Toodles.
