THE SEED MOVIE REVIEW

Welcome back to The Screener Squad, where today, Matt, Lewayne, Trevor, and Chad take a much-needed break to a secluded mansion in the desert. Today they review The Seed, written and directed by Sam Walker. The film follows three friends and social media influencers (Deidre, Heather, and Charlotte) on a vacation, who witness a meteor shower. Said shower of meteors crash lands an alien in the backyard pool, and now the 3 friends must figure out what to do next. The little alien starts out as (arguably) adorable but as it goes on, there are possessions, black goo, and carnage. The Seed is a blend of comedy, gruesome violence, and the wettest puppet you’ve seen in a long while. Does this movie hold up to its premise? Stay tuned and find out.

Chad Halvorsen (Screener Squad)

Chad Halvorsen currently resides in Milwaukee, WI, where he produces and edits commercials, films, and everything in between. He was always a fan of film/television growing up, spending days in the Summer, making (terrible) home movies with his brothers. Little did he know that passion would carry on into adulthood. Since 2006, Chad has worked for several agencies in various departments. Shooting, producing, editing, production management, directing, and when forced to, writing copy. In 2015, Chad decided to take the big leap and become a freelancer. Since then, he’s produced content for Lyft, AT&T, Target, and Discovery Network. His passion lies in entertaining people, making them feel better, even for a moment. All the pain and suffering of this business is worth it, if even just one person views his work. Chad is a frequent podcaster, most notably posing as a co-host for the podcast “The Film Illogical Society.”

 

 

Matt Foster (Screener Squad)

Matt Foster is a stand up comic, podcaster, and movie critic currently living in the greater Salt Lake City area. His lifelong love of genre film began early, when he realized they freaked out his mom. He performs (epidemics permitting) regularly on Dungeons and Comedy, a DND live play with standup comedians, and is the slightly less mustache-y half of the Nighthawks Podcast, a cinema-centric discussion cohosted by Trevor T. Trujillo.

Lewayne White (Screener Squad)

Lewayne’s earliest memories are of watching movies and reading comics, which instilled in him a sense of wonder, a vivid imagination, and unrealistic expectations. It also means he spends a lot of time watching movies, writing scripts for them, and trying to get them made. He lives in the middle of middle America after landing there as a child,
