Seed (DVD)

It's 1979, and a prolific serial killer named Max Seed has finally been caught. Sentenced to death by electrocution, the prison warden oversees the execution, keen to ensure that the monster is finished off once and for all. After one initial dose of volts, the prisoner shows vital life signs and a second, longer dose is given. But when he still isn't killed, the warden decides to pretend that he is dead, in case he falls foul of a well-known law stipulating that any man who survives three attempts is pardoned and released.

Having just read someone's review on this film I decided I would give my take on this film. I have to say I really enjoyed this film if not was also very disturbed by this film. The opening scene is probably enough to make the squeamish turn the movie off straight away. It shows animals ranging from a cockroach up to a dog being severely tortured.

Seed is a film about a man who was traumatised as a kid and obviously has mental issues. He is a serial ...  Read the complete review
