As The Seed opens Heather, Diedre and Charlotte arrive at an opulent vacation home in the middle of what is supposed to be the Mojave Desert, (the film was shot in Malta).
There’s going to be a once-in-a-lifetime meteor shower, (where have we heard that before?), and social media personalities Heather and Dierdre think this will be the perfect location for a photoshoot incorporating it. Charlotte who has no social media presence at all just wants to hang out and party with her friends from school. Things become complicated when something falls from the sky and lands in their pool. Not a meteorite, but something alive.
Saying the leads are unlikable would be an understatement. Heather is the kind of famous for being born rich celebrity that makes it...

Childhood friends Charlotte (Chelsea Edge), Heather (Sophie Vavasseur), and Deidre (Lucy Martin) never get to hang out anymore. Adulthood has a tendency of keeping once-inseparable cliques apart, but they’re hoping a once-in-a-lifetime meteor shower is just the excuse to finally get them together again. What better reason is there for Heather to use her father’s isolated modern mansion in the middle of nowhere? She can cajole Charlotte’s analog and low-maintenance “nerd” away from her 9-to-5 grind, as well as Deidre’s ultra-popular social-media influencer from her hectically vapid life by promising peace and quiet to the former and scenic livestream views to the latter. Maybe they’ll even have fun breaking from their usual routines to remember who they were all those years ago.
It’s a solid entry point into writer-director Sam Walker’s feature debut The Seed because it sets up conflict rooted in their pasts.

"Killing it is the kind thing." Shudder has unveiled an official trailer for an indie horror dark comedy thriller titled The Seed, which first premiered at last year's Beyond Fest. It'll be streaming on Shudder starting in March. What starts out as girls weekend away in the Mojave desert becomes a tale of horror, death and alien invasion when a meteor lands nearby.

Starring Sophie Vavasseur, Lucy Martin, Chelsea Edge + Anthony Edridge, Jamie Wittebrood, and Shirley Barchou Pisani. This looks like it gets super wacky and weird once it gets into the second half! This is not your usual monster, it's something more. The end of this trailer is a doozy! Wow. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Sam Walker's The Seed,...
