The seed - Il seme del male

The Seed (2021) is a movie I recently watched on Shudder. The storyline for this picture surrounds a group of friends who get an AirBnB in the middle of the desert for drinking, fun and sun. When they find a creature that looks like an armadillo on the property their weekend gets flipped upside down.

This movie is directed by Sam Walker in his directorial debut and stars Lucy Martin (Vikings), Chelsea Edge (Suspicion) and Sophie Vavasseur (Resident Evil: Apocalypse).

The storyline for this is actually fairly unique and clever. This is a very unique alien film; unfortunately, the female characters are annoying as is their reaction to things. I will say the workout scene and the sequance the armadillo moves had me cracking up. There's also some unique ways of eating eggs in this. I will say I liked the transformation elements as the aliens motives become apparent and the ending is actually pretty good.

Maybe I'm the outlier but I didn't hate this as much as so many did. This is a unique addition to the genre that's worth a viewing. It isn't a masterpiece but I would score this a 6/10 and recommend seeing it once.
