He screwed up the movies he made from video games. Now, Uwe Boll’s going to screw up the horror genre.

In a not-very-in-depth article, The Hollywood Reporter spews the news that Boll will write and direct a movie called “Seed,” starring Michael Pare, which will drop next year.

To me, that’s a double dose of trouble. Remember what Boll did with the terrific zombie video game, “House of the Dead,” back in 2003? The thing took place at an island rave, made no sense at all and had scenes from the game spliced into the movie for no apparent reason. It reminded me of those oddly placed, hissing cat fight scenes in the movie “Maniac” from 1934. Horrible. But there’s more.

“Seed” not only sounds derivative, it sounds like something I’ve seen so many times before. Here’s the plot, according to IMDB: “Sam Seed, an insane mass murderer, is scheduled for execution at the hands of Warden Wright. Before the executioner throws the switch, Wright steps in front of Seed, "Do you have any last words?" Seed, "I'll see you again." After three attempts to electrocute, complete with boiling blood that steeps from his eyes, he's still alive. The executioner, Wright & the doctor collectively agree, that the breathing Seed be pronounced dead. He is bound and buried alive. After biting & clawing his way to the surface, Seed, the blood soaked, enraged madman, is now bent on vengeance. The reign of violence that follows will redefine the boundaries of extreme gore, physical & mental torture explored through cinema.”

Which is nothing compared to the “physical and mental torture” the viewer of this debacle-in-the-making will likely endure.
