The Seeding Ratings & Reviews
匚卂尺ㄥ
February 28, 2025
Excellent depiction of how heteronormative free-willed and free-thinking gentleman are treated once made vulnerable in the isolated depths of mother nature! Society doesn't care about the world of completely expendable men who are solely used for their seed and left to rot by evil, cold, survivalist women. Some of the scenes were quite steamy and noteworthy. Although intentionally slow-paced, I stayed glued and intrigued about the unpredictable chaos that was possible as with similar stories such as "Lord of the Flies."
Los Angeles Times
Sergio Burstein
The atmosphere is spectacular, and the disturbing moments are not missed, but it failed, definitively, at the end of its cook time. [Full review in Spanish]
The Pitch
Abby Olcese
Unfortunately, the movie's inconsistent pacing and surprisingly long timeframe very nearly undo the rest of its spare, brutish strengths. It's pretty short at 100 minutes. It could have done with being even shorter.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Even if its ambiguity is frustrating, tension simmers throughout this low-budget psychological horror saga that effectively leverages common fears of isolation and helplessness.

Simon Abrams
Clay's surreal drama isn't stillborn as much as it's emotionally uninflected and monotonous.

Emily DuGranrut
Ultimately, The Seeding's inability to develop impetus beyond its shallow themes and bluntly paganistic iconography results in a movie as empty as the desert Wyndham loses himself in.
Boston Hassle
Oscar Goff
The Seeding is a wild little blast of sun-blitzed gonzo folk horror, and I will remember it for a good long while.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
In terms of it functioning as a fable and a thriller, The Seeding collapses under minimal thought.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Successfully prioritizing style over substance is harder than some distinctive talents make it look, however, and Clay is not at their level yet...

Joseph Robinson
An ambitious effort that doesn't quite hit the mark, The Seeding is asking a lot of the viewer without much payoff.
Film Threat
Jordan Bond
The Seeding is a welcome addition to any horror fan's watchlist. It will leave you thinking and thoroughly disturbed.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
Clay's eye for composition and Sheil's beguiling performance are highlights in an arthouse horror story that plays it too safe with the horror. One that's far more shallow than its central chasm setting suggests.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
The writing portions out details of doom carefully, with Clay looking to generate a heavy atmosphere of confusion and frustration, finding his way to some crazy acts of torment in a compelling feature.
Paste Magazine
Matt Donato
The Seeding just doesn't have the storytelling mindset to protect its characters from looking like fools instead of victims of horrific circumstances.
Slant Magazine
Wes Greene
Ironically for a film that unfolds almost entirely in a single, contained location, The Seeding is all over the place.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A claustrophobic survival horror-thriller.
In Review Online
Daniel Gorman
[The Seeding] manages quite a high-wire act for much of its runtime, and if its ultimate resolution feels a bit over-determined and familiar, there are still ample chills to be found.
Film Inquiry
Payton McCarty-Simas
The Seeding, like the pit in which it's set, just isn't that deep.
Hey, Have You Seen ...?
Jared Mobarak
I'm not therefore sure there's much in the way of depth considering the theme itself is so overtly drawn. THE SEEDING's success is thus dictated by how well you believe Wyndham's defiance works in the face of Alina's compliance.
AIPT
Nathaniel Muir
The Seeding falls in the murky area between arthouse and indie horror. The beautiful camerawork and vague story mix with jump scares and shocking scenes. It is a sometimes inelegant combination that is equal parts frightening and frustrating.
