Devil Seed (2012)

This movie is about Alex, a returning college student who moves in with her girlfriends after the holidays. They go out and have quite a few drinks and on the way home Alex and her friend Jessica go to a psychic where Alex has an episode and freaks out her friend and the psychic. The next day Alex doesn't have any memory of what happened and her friends think there's something going on with her. Over time, she starts having things happen to her, scratches, visions and ultimately rape from some being. Her friends start to worry about her even more and things take a turn for the worst when she loses control. What is inside her, and will they all live?This movie is nothing new...some of it is reminiscent of The Entity with Rosemary's Baby and some of The Exorcist thrown in for good measure, but it's actually pretty good in its own right, as long as you're not expecting a classic. It starts off making you think that it's going to be a kooky young kids get the devil in 'em movie, but soon takes a turn for the serious and it's pretty well done, overall.Yes, some of it is cheesy and some of it is silly, but it's watchable and fun. It will keep your attention for the most part. Try it, you might like it.

"The Devil In Me" (Not Devil Seed, more on that later) is a cliché ridden, hilarious mess, and the only way I can come to terms with it is by compiling one of my infamous lists. So, here goes...1. Why is the victim of these atrocities always 'The new girl in town?'2. Why is the only one doing nude scenes the bimbo with the boob job with a bit part? 3. Why would you break into a psychics for a 60 dollar reading after a heavy night out drinking? 4. Why is it the initial SHOCK when you hear a noise turns out to be nothing, but it always followed by the REAL SCARE?5. Why bother possessing someone you're raping so she'll give birth to THE ANTICHRIST?6. Why is it so convenient that the school councellor's father turns out to be A BLOOMIN' EXORCIST?!7. Why can a demonic spirit in flight be stopped by A SHOWER CURTAIN?!8. Why is this marketed as a horror when it should be a comedy? (18 you say?! BWHAHAHAHAHAHA etc)9. Why bother changing the name of the film in the UK? (Might have been better if they'd changed the director, writer, actors, caterers...) 10. Why, in this genre, do the credits ALWAYS begin with an appalling loud cacophony of noise by a metal band you've never heard of?I'm sure there are more, many more, but I'm off now to take some paracetamol and have a lie down. I've just got time for perhaps the most important question of them all: 11. Why was this ever made?! 4/10

I watched a lot of Horror movies, and many, many bad ones. There are worse out there of course, but Devil Seed is not very far from the bottom.***MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS***The acting was quite... bad, except for Shantelle and a few other minor roles. The main character, Michelle, is beautiful, I agree. BUT, beauty alone, without any talent in acting whatsoever, cannot make a movie. That nose thing she was doing and her breathing while she was delivering her lines, were almost unbearable to hear. Sorry to the reviewers who put beauty before acting. The casting director did not do a very good job at all, he did exactly that. He chose beauty before acting. The ones who gave a quote of 10/10 DID NOT watch the movie, or worked on the film, or are friends of the people involved in the movie. No sane person can give this movie more than 5/10. And 5/10 is way too much for Devil Seed.You can have the best screenplay on earth, the best dialogue, the best director. BUT if the acting is not good, especially the main character, well, the film will suck. That's the case with Devil Seed.The dialogue was pretty ordinary as well, to say the least. The sound editing was ordinary. The special effects were based on the budget so, I can understand that. The main idea of the film itself was not original at all. It was long, dull and boring almost right off the bat.Don't expect to be scared, because you won't. Don't expect to jump, startled either, because again, you won't. Don't expect novelties, there aren't any. Don't expect the unexpected, you won't see any. So, don't expect anything and PERHAPS, you'll give it 2/10. Who knows?

After having watched hundreds of horror movies over the years, my initial assumption of this movie was proved wrong. I completely fell in love with Alex, played by Michelle Argyris. The other two roommates (one blonde, one brunette) are absolute eye candy also. The acting is actually top notch and what this film may have lacked with a huge budget or spectacular special effects, it more than made up for in performance. All of the characters were solid, believable and even likable. There were several points in this movie that caught me off guard and had me wishing that I wasn't watching it alone. I will watch this piece again for all of the qualities mentioned above and also because Alex is SO hot!
